A good friend is the attorney for the Michigan State version of the Swarm. I may have some details wrong but I think their NIL group picked up a chunk of Tucker’s aging-horribly $95m contract. I know that one dude kicked in $14 million of his own money.

I hope more people get burned on these deals. Except Iowa ‘investors’ of course…
Wasn’t the big spender the billionaire who owns Rocket Mortgage? I don’t think Iowa has the donor $ to compete with that.

I keep waiting for this to check the market some. Imagine putting up 100k or more of your own money for a kid and the coach doesn't play him. Or the guy you pay for sucks. Or he leaves after one year. Or the coach still fucks everything up.

It's all fun right now because it feels like a video game, but reality is going to check this a little bit in the near future.

No, it’s not going to. It will continue to accelerate

Well, it’s now clear Iowa is going to be sparse in the portal & will have more players taken than they will take. Missed opportunity but not the least surprising.

We're gonna get a lot of portal players and will be replacing our Arland Bruce with someone else's.

Someone on the other site had a post about this. Some of his friends are big Miami Hurricane friends. In his text group they were all excited because they were potentially getting a visit from an Iowa lineman. He was worried it was Proctor. Turns out it was Josh Volk.

It’s good Cade won’t have anyone to throw to because the OL will make sure he doesn’t have time anyway. Win win.

honestly, though, we have some good line talent, they just may be a bad fit for our scheme. take them out of the zone blocking scheme, and they may be studs. Kind of weird how we couldn’t think of that.

That’s not true at all. They are literally the smallest OL in all of football.

255 lb center
guards around 285
Tackles maybe 300 with pads on

the only scheme you can run is zone.

Trading you're vaguely ok and invalid for someone else's is the way this is going to work.

You are just making shit up.
In Shawnee’s defense, I was sitting behind the bench at the Illinois game and was astonished at how small our OL was when sitting together after one of their many 3 and outs that day. They all looked like a bunch of pussies to the Revo EYEBALL TEST!!!!1

They suck, and are on the small side. But his weights are made up, and that isn’t the reason they suck.

Thomas, Shawnee didn’t say it’s why they suck. Shawnee said it’s why they can only run a zone scheme unlike LTard acting like they can just bully people down the field. Thank you

I love how when I posted last week about Spencer coming back and possibly starting in 2023, my comments were met with scoffs by all the inside information! folks.

I noticed I'm no longer receiving rebuttals.

Evidence of a traumatized fanbase is strong in this thread. From wildly optimistic to down in the dumps in a matter of a few days.

Lol at academic and/or character issues. You know Traeshon was not our strongest student, if it wasn't for his penchant for cutting others and threatening his teammates he really had some potential here.
Maybe Iowa City would be a good change of scenery for him, Kirk.

Spencer isn't playing ever again at Iowa. I hope this helps.

The incessant Shawnee style trolling lately is unbecoming. You're better than this.

Who could really pass up a 4th year starting QB.

I know Kirk couldn't. Spencer has earned it and he knows the offense

I’ve accepted that Spencer could Zeb Noland and don’t want to talk about it.

You can’t pass up an opportunity like that.

My crazy friend Whamo would say something here about expectations.

Do you think maybe the SEC gets 3 out of 4 in the playoff? You should do a post on that, it would be fun!

Transfers from Alabama?

Why stop there? Kirk should get on the horn with WRs from Oregon and USC asap.

I mean, as a playmaker who wouldn't want to join our national laughing stock of an offense with possibly the worst WR NFL placement in power 5 conference history?
