[CamelTones]

Some players still available who there seems to be some mutual interest with:

DB - TJ Hall
DB - Olando Trader
DB - Koen Entringer
LB - Landyn Van Kekerix (No offer announced yet)
DE - Keyron Crawford
DE - Brian Allen

 

[SuperHans]

Any transfer rumors?

 

[Lee Beevers]

I have to believe Iowa is exploring a corner in the transfer portal, right?

Hawks have to get some wide receivers added to that list

Why?

 

[Lee Beevers]

Hawks have to get some wide receivers added to that list

without Chuck Jones returning they are very fucking close to seeing some white asshole from Tiffin get some snaps. That does not make the ol’ Penus tingle

 

[Lee Beevers]

Why?

they are very short on corners? Moss returning would help, but even with him returning you are counting on some young players being ready.

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

I hope they look at Nwankpa at corner. Safety/cash is important and all, but a great talent can affect the game more at corner and he obviously projects to either.

i don’t think he’s fast enough to play corner. Plus you take away from some of the play making aspect which he obviously does very well with.

Moss, Harris, Roberts, DeJean is a damn good top 4.

 

[Lee Beevers]

Moss, Harris, Roberts, DeJean is a damn good top 4.

Sure, but there is one proven corner in that group. *I did like what I saw from Harris when he was put in.

[HerkyHopeful]

Moss, Harris, Roberts, DeJean is a damn good top 4.

Albeit a very pasty top 4

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Koerner will be missed, he was great but I would imagine Schulte fills the white walkon starting safety role

 

[Shawneemicks]

Don’t fuck this up and overthink it. Xavier at cash seems like a perfect fit.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Oregon was a lock for Allen a week ago, but maybe the hawkeyes are back as a factor with Cristobal gone

 

[Whatever]

Sure, but there is one proven corner in that group. *I did like what I saw from Harris when he was put in.

Shut the fuck up.

 

[CamelTones]

If Moss doesn’t return, these are the corners left on the roster:

Cooper DeJean
AJ Lawson
Brendan Deasfernandes
Terry Roberts
Jermari Harris

They definitely need to add depth but I’m not sure they’ll find much in the portal that isn’t guaranteed a starting spot. It’s also a position that they’re willing to play freshman. They started both Moss and Brents as true freshman a couple games in 2018.

 

[Lee Beevers]

Shut the fuck up.

No!

 

[Shpadoinkle]

I’d imagine X gets the Epenesa treatment his Freshman year, though and old Ferentzism is the further away from the ball, the more comfortable he is playing young guys.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I have to believe Iowa is exploring a corner in the transfer portal, right?

i would imagine we are going to be exploring the entire thing.

 

[douglasbader]

Not a chance. He will be playing early and shocked if he doesn't start.

Epenesa came in behind 3 upper class NFL guys. His "not starting" thing was always completely overblown.

Doug is all over it here. If Belton stays then maybe X plays in Merriweathers spot but this kid has to be on the field.

 

[douglasbader]

Here are the guys that were here for the first 2 years of Epenesa that were older than him....

- Parker Hesse
- Anthony Nelson
- Matt Nelson
- Chauncey Gholston
- Cedrick Lattimore

 

[douglasbader]

I wonder if Belton can fill into the safety spot next to Merriweather.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I wonder if Belton can fill into the safety spot next to Merriweather.

I’d say he probably can, a lot more contact at that spot.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

I added a caveat that is bulletproof RATT.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

A crystal ball came back our way for Brian Allen. (who also happens to have been bumped to a 4* on Rivals)

We can thank Oregon's coaching uncertainty.

It is a national guy as well. Here is his update if anyone has a 247 account.

Moving a Crystal Ball pick to Iowa

Inside why a Crystal Ball pick was moved to Iowa.

[chaneccooms]

Rivals now lists Landyn Van Kekerix as having an Iowa offer and Blair predicts him to commit to Iowa. Blair also just predicted TJ Hall to Iowa.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

From NW Iowa insiders on TOS Van Kekerix was offered a few days ago. Just being low key about it which I'm sure makes the Iowa coaches love him even more. Apparently cousins with Van Ginkel. In any event a classic late cycle in-state or instate-ish LB find (prior examples include Sharar just last year, Seth Benson, Parker Hesse, and obviously Josey Jewell)

 

[Kamala]

Likes for everyone. Not sure about @Kamala.

That’s not nice

 

[Kamala]

Fuck him

Reported

 

[Swingin' Dick Stanzi]

Still up in the air, but sounds like X is trending towards starting off at safety, not Cash. If Moss and Belton come back, the secondary next year is going to be absolutely loaded.

Tyler Barnes started following this 4* 2022 CB tonight....

Jaeden Gould, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Cornerback

2020: Played five games in an abbreviated junior season (team played six, went 5-1).

Will be interested to see if Deasfernandes can challenge for a backup spot this spring. Phil offered at camp when he was barely starting the physical maturity process, but he's grown a lot.

 

[CamelTones]

Kelvin Bell unfollowed that University of Albany transfer as well as his mother so I’m guessing that’s not happening.

Wait, is Chuck Jones not returning?

 

[sergeanthulka]

Wait, is Chuck Jones not returning?

He hasn’t said yet. He’s probably our single biggest recruit for next year, lindy being number one.

 

[The Full Monte]

Correct. Last 247 article said most of early conversation was Cash….but that all recent discussion is at Safety

 

[hawkeyealum]

Hmmm

One, if not the top, football program in NJ. Would be a good place to get a pipeline.

 

[Hawk24]

 

[Brad Wesley]

Why wouldn’t he come back? He appears to be enjoying his time playing football.

He’s not going pro so not sure what the hold up is.

[Shawneemicks]

Lol

 

[Brad Wesley]

Fuck.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

I don't know whether to like or bow. Your point is absolutely correct, which would mean a like. But that pic of Peaches is very bow worthy

 

[douglasbader]

Fuck you.
