At the end of the day, it's incredible that none of these 3 and 4 star recruits become serviceable at Iowa. Almost like Iowa doesn't have a coach who can develop quarterbacks

For me, the primary argument concerning the relative worserness of Spence/Bacon is that we were subjected to Spencer 3 fuckin years.

Bacon may have been worse, but we were only subjected to watch him for like 10 games.

We watched Spence for THREE FUCKING YEARS

That’s the point. Deacon is fucking terrible. But Spence got to watch fat Nate and had two years of development and was fucking worthless. He’d curl into the fetal position the split second he saw a defender AND STILL WOULD SOMEHOW FUMBLE ANYWAY!!! HOW THE FUCK IS THAT POSSIBLE!!!!!!

I think Duke Slater is really the new OC. What a brilliant screen name to come feel the temperature of the Halo fan base.

Hill went from being a warm body for spring ball to entrenched starter because Kirk won’t bench someone if the team is winning. Petras is a guy they somehow identified, recruited, shut down competition early for, and called 50+ passes in his second start. It’s either hilarious or incredibly sad that they apparently thought they had completely nailed it with him.

The general positive reception that Johns is getting here has me fired up.
Some new blood into the program is what many wanted.
Please do not pull this rug out from under me. Get this done Kirk.

I angered people at TOS in summer 2020 when I relayed a golf course conversation my son had with his friend's b-i-l, who was an assistant on the ISU scouting staff. He told Little Chip that he wouldn't believe how bad Spence would be, that the ISU staff was incredulous that Iowa was going to be starting him. He said he had a strong arm, but no touch and accuracy, and that his pocket presence would be really awful. The responses were "tell your son to be more selective about who he plays golf with, etc". The guy's picture did scream LATFG, but he sure wasn't wrong.

Greg Davis had the Iowa tight ends excited because he told them he would have them boxing defenders out like they were going for rebounds. That was an odd one.

His wide receiver screen passes to Kavonte Martin-Manley may have gained 12 total yards on 75 attempts.

KMM has the school record for catches but isn’t in the top 10 for yards.

That video with the old guy interviewing Johns has me feeling hopeful. Two quotes stood out, “if you aren’t completing 65-70% of your passes as a high school quarterback I have concerns about you at the collegiate level” and something to the effect of “you have to have a QB who is able to scramble for first downs and if he can’t do that then he’s a sitting duck.”

Johns is going to be shocked when he starts watching film of his new QBs.
yep. Jake C was under 50% his senior yr of hs. Anyone who ever thought hed be good should never be allowed to wear Bike shorts.

Getsy interviewing for Raiders today. Hopefully that means Kirk's pick is in and we're not starting over next week.

Meh, keep it going a while I say
That's what NIL guy is saying this morning.

Big interview today. Yesterday was a big curveball. One candidate left the picture and a new one entered. This thing has more twists and turns than a good “who dun it” novel.

Stay tuned!

PS…I promise I’m not just messing w you guys! I’m not that ornery.

The NIL guy has been just like yet another pointless Iowa beat reporter with the OC search.
