@Fair and Balanced - we’re ready for an Ivan/Doug or Ivan/Doug/Bob love poem.

 

[Hawkmi]

Hey, dumbfuck. I don't care what the draft geeks are saying. We know they love workout warriors. They gave us "Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane", after all.

The fact remains he didn't accomplish much at Iowa. One of the least accomplished early draft entrants the program has had.

He might be good in the NFL. He might be a bust. Whatever the case, that will be his legacy. Because there isn't one at Iowa.

You can thank The Dad and the Group Text crew for the normalization of this shit.

What sort of accommodation would you require in order to be done with the stupid group text shit?

Would a 1952 Wheaties Stan Musial tin tray suffice?

Doug embracing Ivan as the voice of reason. Hide your remotes, fellas.

 

[BuffettHawk]

Bob and Doug, texting each other about how much they hate the HALO Group Text.

In fact yesterday I “liked” Doug’s post where he told that dipshit to stfu.

You are not a normally functioning adult JR

Stick to liking posts. It's all downhill when you start posting.

Isn't this your account on Rivals?

 

[JR Hawks]

Lukas Van Ness career accomplishments:

-2nd team Hawkeye d-line
-5.5 sacks in 2022
-All conference Honorable Mention
-Measurables that are intriguing to basement dwelling draft experts
-Big biceps and six pack abs that make Halo dorks hard
-Hawkeye Legend

Eat a bag of fucking cocks, you weirdo. I’m sorry he fucked your wife.

Huh. I always thought the accounts were for the same person. Interesting.

Halo has a weird rule that one must agree all early draft decisions are good decisions.

I recall a similar reaction to questioning Tyler Cook (Salt Lake City Stars) and Joe Weiskamp (Wisconsin Herd) going pro early.

Oh, yeah….we’re moving the goalposts now

Who gives a shit? If a guy is ready to go try and make a living for himself, he should do it. If it doesn’t work out, he can go sell medical supplies.

Pretty much every Halo poster would have preferred have them both stay 4 years.

 

[KitKatApples]

I would say that he should come back for another year instead of declaring but if he wants to go I believe he'll get drafted and develop further in the league

 

[The Full Monte]

This dude REALLY cares…

Sure. Fine. But that’s not the conversation that JR is having.

Basketball is different. You're going to get paid no matter what, so it almost always makes sense.

 

[JR Hawks]

I don't think you understand my point.

I don't doubt the draft geeks on where he will be drafted. He appears to have measurables and has shown flashes of good play. He may well end up a good pro.

Where I disagree is with the desperation some kids have to go pro the first chance they get even if they're not marquee prospects or haven't established themselves as great players at the collegiate level.

Maybe Van Kness will end up a marquee prospect, but he didn't establish himself as a great player at Iowa.

There are MANY examples of kids that sacrificed the legacy, development and greater future earnings of more time in college for instant gratification, immediate (potentially reduced) money, and a career on the bench/in the minor leagues/out of the game.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Mike Ness > Van Ness

Most definitely, but if Cook stays you've got to wonder if Garza blows up like he did. Cook was the focus of the offense.

There's no way to know that.

Garza is nowhere near where he was with Cook there.

Still wish an upgraded Garza and Cook had their year though.

He's going to hate the MLB draft

90% of what you wrote there had absolutely nothing to do with the original claim you made; which is what you were called out for. And did so under the guise that it was EVERYONE ELSE that was incapable of logic and rational thought. Just dumb. You went all 13-year-old to their parents “I’d explain it to you, but you wouldn’t get it anyway.”

 

[rodg12]

JR Hawks definitely not going to like Jordan Reid’s take that Lukas goes 26 to Cincy…

Apparently you've misinterpreted my original claim, because I've not changed my mind on this.

[The Tin Man]

Selfishly I’d like all of Iowa’s great players stay for four years, yet I know it isn’t feasible with the NFL prestige and money. I’m hoping that NIL could be a factor in the future to keep more possible NFL early entrants on the team. The same goes for basketball and the NBA.

I agree, but guys leaving early has sometimes sprung some amazing players forward by opening up PT. It all works together as long as you continue to develop the young guys.

[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.

 

[douglasbader]

Fake news.
