2025 Football Recruiting

[Revolver]

Let's hear some detailed expert evals. What's the character/leadership evaluation? Football IQ? Current physical maturity stage; projected size in 2026?

He is Iowa's 5th QB offer. 5-star Bryce Underwood is 90%+ for LSU. 4-star Blake Hebert a hard commit to Clemson. Stone Saunders a hard commit to Kentucky. Manske of Algona had been trending Nebrantska, at least prior to McCord and Raiola likely heading there. Compare and contrast him to the other 4 if you wouldn't mind.

You got it, Chip.

 

[cloudhawk]

You guys won't want to hear it, but he looks pretty good and is very fast. Ran a 4.5 at one of the camps.

Got any practice highlights....

 

[HerkyHopeful]

I don't think Manske will pan out. A D1 QB in a small class in Iowa and they weren't good. Also another D1 guy on their team.

I guess that's why I assumed he'd end up at Iowa, regardless of his previous fandom.

Has he ever played football in his, or someone else’s, backyard?

 

[Debit One]

The athleticism shown in the plays at 0:30 and 1:35 are unlike anything we’ve seen from an Iowa QB in quite a while.

 

[nolookpass]

he looks good. hope he can understand the complexities of Iowas pro style offense.

 

[BillyBob]

I think he completed every single pass in that video. 100% is pretty impressive.

 

[ClintWalker]

He will be moved to safety.

 

[CamelTones]

His sophomore year completion % was 64% on a team that I believe was undefeated. They lost quite a bit off that team apparently but still finished 7-3 this year.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

He will be moved to safety.

To another offense?

 

[Mitchandrsn]

May be just the guy we need. Talking GPA of course.

 

[JD720]

That'll be the name that gets Dolph fired.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Hope that's a hard k

So apparently Iowa hasn’t been recruiting Iose Epenesa at all this month.

Where are you getting this?

He made it up.

Good. He shouldn't come to Iowa. Go somewhere he can be utilized.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

[cloudhawk]

Yeah, the lack of DE/DLine development is well known at IOWA

 

[Hawkstrat]

He made it up.

No, Blair had that little update yesterday.

 

[douglasbader]

No, Blair had that little update yesterday.

Sounds made up or misinterpreted.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

No, Blair had that little update yesterday.

I would hope they kick his 185 lb LB brother off the team if he doesn't come here.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Sounds made up or misinterpreted.

Nah, it's pretty straight forward.


"Some dude : I see a lot of coaches have been by to see Iose Epenesa. @Blair Sanderson—did any Iowa coaches stop by Edwardsville HS recently?"



" Blair: Not among those mentioned by Eppy. I'll ask.



"



" Also Blair: No. They haven't heard from Iowa this month per Eppy."

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

What a horrible thing it must be to recruit kids/parents.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

His jersey says “ cowards”

 

[The Tin Man]

What a horrible thing it must be to recruit kids/parents.

 

[douglasbader]

Meh, Eppy likely just setting this up to take the pressure off of his kid because he might actually want to go somewhere other than Iowa and they don't want to look like the bad guys.

 

[Brownzy]

Meh, Eppy likely just setting this up to take the pressure off of his kid because he might actually want to go somewhere other than Iowa and they don't want to look like the bad guys.

More like Eppy told Iowa they don't need to waste that much time and resources recruiting another of his kids because it's a god damn given that he is coming to Iowa City.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I was told he wanted to play for Bert some time ago

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Query: How long is Bert going to last at Illinois?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

employed, or alive

2 years.

Just what I was told. Person has been right before but not always

Was it Doug?

It was Doug, wasn't it.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Kirk is retarded but he's not forget-to-recruit-the-epenesa-retarded. Right?

 

[KitKatApples]

You mean how long does Earth stay in his orbit?

 

[Pinehawk]

Kirk is retarded but he's not forget-to-recruit-the-epenesa-retarded. Right?

Kirk’s been busy interviewing, and prefers to focus on one thing at a time.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

kirk was in DSM recruiting stud WR’s today. he was probably tired.

 

[Swingin' Dick Stanzi]

I can’t remember if it was about AJ’s recruitment or Iose’s but can remember Eppy mentioning how much they appreciated Iowa not blowing up their phone 24/7 like some of the other schools.

I’m pretty sure the Iowa staff knows what it’s doing in this recruitment. If Iose wants to end up at Iowa, he will. Iowa not contacting him for one whole month isn’t going to change anything.
