Six wide receivers. Two still with injuries in Vines and Johnson. One non playing freshmen a in Bostick. Leaving us three left. Most teams in the world of college football have at least ten. How about this: four less ol and four more WR's. 😎❤️🏈

It's all one and the same. The guy(s) responsible for the offense aren't good at their jobs.Thanks for the reminder that the only thing worse than Iowa's offensive performance is the roster management of their offensive players...
Yeah, that was kinda my pointIt's all one and the same. The guy(s) responsible for the offense aren't good at their jobs.
Do you realize that defending this gawd awful offense and it’s coaches is wearing very thin?You do realize this is due to attrition at the position, not due to limited recruiting?
Recruiting, development, scheme, and retention are all part of the problem when it comes to wide receiver production.You do realize this is due to attrition at the position, not due to limited recruiting?

Sure, and I’m not defending anything here. Just pointing out that a year ago we had I think either 9 or 10 receivers on scholarship, 2 of whom left mid season, Tracy and Jones left after the season. And of course we’ve yet to have all 6 of the ones we do have dress for the same game.
Should have hit the transfer portal harder after losing 3 for sure, just saying that this wasn’t due to Iowa simply neglecting the position in recruiting. Some of it is simply bad luck that a lot of stuff happened all at once.
My bad. Should have indicated six scholarship receivers. Lot's of walk on players. 😎❤️🏈We have more than six wide receivers
Our complex offense only needs a couple guys. It’s way too complicated for most players. Six yard down and in, TE in the flat, potential screen to a RB, handoff up the middle (or if we feel really crazy slip a RB off the tackle). My HS veer offense was more complicated. This is really something to watch.Purdue asked us to only carry 6 WR so they all get some playing time and are easier to scout for transfer.
Of the 16 commitments we have coming in next season......ZERO are listed as wide receiver.
So, if we have one or two decide to transfer out, looks like we will be running 3 and 4 TE split out running routes downfield. LOL!!!!!!
maybe the environment/offensive philosophy/lack of skill of the starting QB played a role in player's leaving? In the end, KF/BF are responsible for everything
Looking 4-5 years back when BF 1st started...there actually was promise. We had Alaric Jackson, Wirfs...two athletic guys at Tackle. We had broken through to Mississippi to bring in an overlooked stud WR. We had a burner out of New Jersey at WR. We had studs like Fant and Hockensen....and the its just been downhill ever since. Giving the keys to the offense for 3 years to Petras and chitty offensive player recruiting/retention got BF/KF to this current position.
Hey now, can’t have good walk on stories if you jump into the portal….We had 4 transfer and didnt replace any of them
NFL wide receivers have to block sometimes. The Rams lined one up as a fullback last night. If Iowa is gonna run what they run, they should be putting a tight end in at fullback.Why would any receiver worth a darn want to waste his time and talent in this antiquated offense? What is the coaching staff’s sales pitch: come to Iowa - you can run 3 yard outs, have passes sailed over your head, and block?
It's comical how little they invest into the offense being successful. One POTENTIAL wide receiver in Mota. That's it. And why they're not throwing a few balls to Bostick is beyond me (I know I know - he must not have a grasp of the playbook yet).Of the 16 commitments we have coming in next season......ZERO are listed as wide receiver.

The extremely high level of loyalty to guys just blows my mind.
I've seen pottebaum line up as the 2nd tight end for whatever reason so I think they already are?NFL wide receivers have to block sometimes. The Rams lined one up as a fullback last night. If Iowa is gonna run what they run, they should be putting a tight end in at fullback.
Is that supposed to make us feel better or worse?We had 4 transfer and didnt replace any of them

Agree we don’t recruit well for WR’s and I don’t blame HS kids not wanting to come to a shit show with a QB that resembles a statue. Now a days kids are going with the trend in which has past by KF and BF… they want to go to these wide open offenses that are pass happy- I don’t blame them. Look at both Iowa and Wisconsin stumbling because of the lack of passing and talent at the WR .. SUCKKKKKKKKKS!Six wide receivers. Two still with injuries in Vines and Johnson. One non playing freshmen a in Bostick. Leaving us three left. Most teams in the world of college football have at least ten. How about this: four less ol and four more WR's. 😎❤️🏈

That is also a good point. Assuming Iowa continues its trend of just hoping someone decides to transfer to Iowa rather than actively going after players in the portal, next year could be just as bad AND we'll be breaking in a new QB assuming Petras takes his ball and goes home.Of the 16 commitments we have coming in next season......ZERO are listed as wide receiver.
