**22/23 Transfer Portal Thread**

[CleteyColgate]

No group text. Curious who your insider info comes from.

Lol

 

[ddevries]

Guy from Biblebeater college is from the same high school as TeSlaa. Probably doesn't mean much, but it can't hurt.

I won’t stand for this Dordt slander

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

I won’t stand for this Dordt slander

Because you’re fat?

 

[BBK]

Hearing up to 8 new guys and an old one....

Holden (Alabama WR) *supposedly done*
TeSlaa (D2 WR) *supposedly done*
Eric All (Michigan TE)
At least 1 other Michigan guy

Oh, and Keegan Johnson likely back now.

Lol at any of you who believed any of it. I'm some fucking dork living in Texas for like 16 of the last 19 years. I am just making shit up.

The group text was right again.

 

[Revolver]

If anyone thinks Iowa isn't landing multiple WR's and a CB from the transfer portal, then LOL at that person.

[BngHawk]

Well well well, ol’ Bung was right to aggressively challenge fagadoug’s INSIDER!!! bullshit on that fateful day in chat. I am king of the group text.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

All the WR’s left, so the Pokes are desperate.

 

[CleteyColgate]

The Halo group text = LOLOLOLOL

With that said, Iowa's offensive personnel is dramatically improved from last year. If Iowa shows that this year, Iowa can attract even bigger WR portal weapons next year. Takes time to rebuild from a shitshow and we're doing so, rapidly

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Jesus. That's gonna be quite the change for them. They usually have super fast studs.

 

[Gushawk]

I agree with Cletey that we’re overall going to see an upgrade in offensive personnel, and especially at the position that matters most.

now need to address glaring personnel issue on the sidelines

Perhaps we shouldn’t have spent the last couple years allowing the biggest Meathead idiot in town to design/run the stupidest shit imaginable. So weird that sort of caught up with us eventually

Sounds like a loser trying to deflect from losing

 

[Shawneemicks]

Iowa is done in the portal after the Stanford guy.
Big upgrade at QB but pretty underwhelming overall

 

[Skyline Chili Buoy]

I wish you were living in Mount Carmel Center 30 years ago.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

Is it though?

 

[Hawkstrat]

Is it though?

Petras to Cade is a real healthy upgrade. The Stanford tackle would be the same.

 

[Alan Lomax]

Is it though?

Petras threw the ball away on 4th down. Also slid, out of bounds, on fourth down. Also threw two of the absolute worst interceptions RIGHT to Ohio State players that you'll ever see. Yes, it is a HUGE upgrade.

 

[Shawneemicks]

They have only clearly improved at QB.
Worse at a couple spots due to portal.

i dgaf how good McNamara is, he doesn’t have much to throw to nor will likely have the time to do so if there’s nothing additional coming in the portal.

 

[shoot-the-three]

We would have been sucking each other's dicks a month ago if it weren't for insiders getting our hopes up.

Kirk is now using the transfer portal, Barta was forced to help the NIL collective, and there may still be coaching changes. Will be better at QB, got a WR and Nico coming back, good TE, and hopefully an upgrade at tackle.

 

[Swingin' Dick Stanzi]

The offense will be much improved just by getting rid of the worst starting QB in college football and replacing him with someone competent. I am hopeful that the following play sequence, which has been all too common the last few years, will be mostly eradicated in 2023:

First Down: QB airmails an open receiver
Second and long: Obvious run play for minimal gain
Third and long: QB shits his pants under pressure and takes a sack or throws a wildly inaccurate pass

 

[brantshawks]

Center help or anything worthy of hope there?

 

[Mr. Hawk]

First Down: QB airmails an open receiver
Second and long: Obvious run play for minimal gain
Third and long: QB shits his pants under pressure and takes a sack or throws a wildly inaccurate pass that was designed as a 6 yard out when we needed 9 anyway.

FIFY

I’d love if one of the stat nerds actually compiled the stats on this for us.

This type of data exists for the NFL, but haven’t seen this for college football

I’d love to see, in detail, how Iowa compares to other teams. How many drives resulted in ZERO first downs, etc

You could also add to the 2nd down that it was a failed reverse.

Or maybe there was a successful drive going and a first down reverse was needed.

Wanting to see those stats is the equivalent of standing around outside of a house and watching it burn to the ground. Some sick fucks like to watch the world burn I guess.

Turns out the failed reverse could be plugged in anywhere in the game plan for Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz.

That's basically what Bill Connolly at ESPN Insider does with his S&P+. It's play by play success rate data. But it's subscription stuff and I don't have that.

There is still a not insignificant number of Iowa fans debating that Brian is only still employed because of his last name. I want those people crushed and burned under the weight of a mountain of statistical evidence that proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is absolutely horrific at his job and has absolutely no clue what he is doing in his current role as OC. I want them ended. I want to end their entire bloodline.

I'm getting really tired of "the room." Hoping sportswriters can soon latch on to some new coaching jargon that they'll eventually run into the ground.

[CleteyColgate]

Graham Mertz is probably the highest rated high school quarterback ever to play at Wisconsin. A high 4 star.

He is by far. But including him, 4 of the top 6 highest-rated QB recruits in UW history have signed since December.

I can't see someone named Booger using that.
