**2026 Iowa Football Offseason and Transfer Portal Thread**

Given his standing with the team, maybe he could still end up back at Iowa?

 

[Gushawk]

That is an underwhelming list. Has to just be looking for a little bit more than Iowa was paying. Unreal.

Hard to beat Texas Tech if you’re looking to cash in

 

[KitKatApples]

Tech is throwing money around in a desperate attempt to still not be wanted by a major conference.

I doubt it. Iowa was a little caught off guard by his decision. They tried to negotiate with him but it seemed he was set on seeing how much he was worth.

He’s obviously been thinking about this for a few months. He ran out on senior day which didn’t make a lot of sense and the assumption at the time was he was looking to go pro. Eickolt tweeted during bowl prep that he was coming back but all the other reporters said his answer was a little weird, was more of a ‘yeaaaaaah probably’

Usually the coaches have a good idea what guys are going to do, Entringer and Allen were 2 that threw them off.

 

[CamelTones]

Also I don’t believe Perich actually committed to Texas Tech. He’s going to take a visit to Oregon. Speculation is Tech wants both.

I would assume Louisville has money for him.

Tech has a unique opportunity to be the king of that trash heap though. They likely lack some of the natural advantages to ever consistently compete at the P2 level....but they absolutely could dominate the B12 and give themselves a shot to be in the CFP semi-consistently

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Louisville has McGregorys cash sitting in savings still

 

[OlePeep]

this guy is going cheap on his promotional materials. vehicle headlights, phone camera, driveway. Next to no cost. Assuaging concerns about his ankle

 

[Mysterio]

that boy thick

 

[RiotFan]

2 of those schools have the money he’s looking for. West Virginia….that one doesn’t make sense. Koi Perich just visited Texas Tech as well.

Agreed. Just shows that's the motivation to leave. Purely the cash.

I think they realize that they can win it all.

 

[Shawneemicks]

It’s a perfect set up for them. It’s pretty much how Nebrantska built their entire program…9-10 cupcakes and one, maybe two tougher conference games. Easy access to the playoff

Way more money than all of their competitors.

Maybe next year

 

[Shawneemicks]

Yep. Two tougher conference games per year. That’s it. Under the current conference alignment they’ll be in the CFP 8/10 years

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’d say TT would have been around 4th, 5th in the big ten

 

[IowaWigman]

Was Uncle Rico his inspiration?

Very different tune from when you were saying that it’s unlikely Oregon would beat them.

I do not perceive that Kyler and BYU are a good culture fit.

 

[The Full Monte]

They have at most 3-4 other schools in the ballpark financially. If they are able to sustain the financial part, it’s gonna be a 2 team race for their CFP spot in most years

But how many in race for CFP/Alamo???

 

[ChipHilton]

He can teach them how to talk like Jacob Park.
Lesson #1: Always say "dat" instead of that.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Sex is actually required at Iowa

Must love to soak.

That's what Kyle Williams thought anyways.

Let's maybe not let former head coaches hang around our program again in the future

He's taken an average punter and 3rd string RB. Congrats to him!

 

[Mysterio]

dug said fitz loves iowa

 

[Lil Scamp]

Uh

 

[Verbal]

Eh, that's fine. Hope he gets a bunch of carries there.

He clearly does.

There was the guy at Wisconsin who ended up at Miami. Can't remember if they were threatening legal action right away or just not releasing him.

They're still suing Miami. It's just that since it was before the House Settlement, they didn't have any real legal way to sue the player.

This case will likely be different.

[StinkyMcFadden]

From his N. ILL bio:

• Worked at football camps and helped build a preschool.

 

[CamelTones]

6-5 260 with three years of eligibility remaining. That’s a frame you can work with.

 

[RiotFan]

You might have missed some news.

Are we pissed about Woods too? I’m not really that upset about any of them.

Heisman favorite again?

 

[HerkyHopeful]

For a moment I was curious if he'd go back to isu

 

[HerkyHopeful]

I thought jizz would go somewhere he'd be guaranteed some more carries. Instead he's going to be sharing carries with a couple others. I enjoyed him at Iowa. Best wishes, Jizz

 

[HerkyHopeful]

I think I'd rather have Brian Allen still

 

[HiawathaHawk]

The value lies almost entirely in the school brands. Even the kids getting fat sacks are only benefiting because of rich donors to who love the school.

Sure. But that’s the same for the coaches.

 

[Uff Da]

Seem to recall Kohl was going to be a potential All American at Iowa State, FIU seems to low of a level for his talent
