I can't say many who saw Miller play in high school had a lot of praise. Lots of "yeah the big kid can block the 165 pound DEs in 1A".The coaches really liked Miller from what I remember about his recruitment. At one point they thought they were getting the best tackle in the class but he couldn’t handle it mentally. Hunt would have been nice.
The rest were the types that you hope a couple develop and become contributors but were also ‘he’ll likely be in the portal in a couple years’ guys. McKinney probably had the best chance to contribute but didn’t seem patient enough to wait his turn. Charlie Jones took the job he really wanted.
Now that you mention it, maybe not. I only looked on the roster, but did he sit out due the to the Rona?Has McCall officially left?
It was easy to get excited seeing his junior film, because he looked like he moved really well. Then he seemed to get bad reviews as a senior and he seemed to be overwhelmed when he came in. Some HR poster reported on what seemed like a disturbing incident in '19 fall practice in which Polasek was heaping some rather tough verbal abuse on him. It seemed like it wasn't long before he went home for a couple of weeks. Then there were conflicting comments about whether he was physically able to play because of back issues.I can't say many who saw Miller play in high school had a lot of praise.

He was a very positive recruiter with the rest of the class, but I was not shocked that he flamed out
The film that stuck out was Jeudy's, which was one of the worst ever. Basically just jumping on piles. (My vote for worst ever film was LB Martin Hopkins in 2009. Scott Covert might not have even had a film. You wondered what coaches were seeing for a couple of years there.)did we want any of those guys anyways? Serious question since I’m sure you watched their high school film and I enjoy your opinion.
I don’t think the coaches actually tried to recruit anyone in the 2009 class. It was the quality of a team you would expect to be coming off of multiple 3-9 seasons.(My vote for worst ever film was LB Martin Hopkins in 2009. Scott Covert might not have even had a film.

How many no-pressure pirouettes?
I will shower, nay, BATHE in my wrongness if he turns out to be a world beater this year. My fear however, is that he’s lighting it up in an environment where his brain subconsciously knows he isn’t going to get hit...and the minute that changes that little lump is going to go haywire.Fuck it. I am onboard the Petras Express.
our fanbase is full of shawnees.I'm not expecting all Big Ten play out of him by any means, but the Petras hate is getting weird on here.
Lol- you new here Iowa fan is almost as bad as ISU fan when it comes to QB play.I'm not expecting all Big Ten play out of him by any means, but the Petras hate is getting weird on here.
If Douglas is right, I believe he was statistically the worst QB in the country last year. I may be remembering it wrong, but that's what I think Doug said and that's what my eyes also told me.I'm not expecting all Big Ten play out of him by any means, but the Petras hate is getting weird on here.

But it’s so weird to not like your team’s worst-in-the-nation QB.If Douglas is right, I believe he was statistically the worst QB in the country last year. I may be remembering it wrong, but that's what I think Doug said and that's what my eyes also told me.
Do you know anything about stats?
Clap clap clap.But it’s so weird to not like your team’s worst-in-the-nation QB.
At any other school he’d be the toast of the town.
Shawnee is the president of the Spencer Petras fan club buddy boy!our fanbase is full of shawnees.
It's not weird at all. He fuckin sucksI'm not expecting all Big Ten play out of him by any means, but the Petras hate is getting weird on here.
He was really fucking bad for 90% of the past season. But people are already acting like he has ruined the upcoming season.It's not weird at all. He fuckin sucks
Not much else to talk about.He was really fucking bad for 90% of the past season. But people are already acting like he has ruined the upcoming season.
It seems like we'll all have plenty of time to hate him in a few months is all.
What's amazing about that is depsite how bad he was, the Hawks still went 6-2. Average QB play and they likely go 8-0 and win the West.If Douglas is right, I believe he was statistically the worst QB in the country last year. I may be remembering it wrong, but that's what I think Doug said and that's what my eyes also told me.

He improved a little after the last few games, so he ended the season all the way up at like 80th in adjusted yards per attempt, out of 105 qualifying players. 87th in passer rating.If Douglas is right, I believe he was statistically the worst QB in the country last year. I may be remembering it wrong, but that's what I think Doug said and that's what my eyes also told me.

Looked up his Game log from last year. Those first 6 games. Woof.Petras had raised himself up to the 89th best QB in the country by the end of last season. At one point he was by far the worst P5 QB other than the 17 year old Kansas QB.
