Uh, no. (in regards to seeing 30-40%)

And 2011 is supposedly a big down year for in state talent.

What precisely fuels your disdain for me as a poster? Your antics in that regard are rather juvenile.

All I recall is that we had a disagreement at one juncture concerning ISU's recruiting. You seemed to think that ISU was offering sub-D1 talent last season and stating that wasn't the right way to go about building a successful D1 program. I provided a counter-argument and you seemed to act like I peed in your cheerios. Folks CAN disagree and still hold a civilized and adult conversation.

Not true homer...it's the internet and one disagreement makes you a d-bag for life! Didn't you get the memo???

OT-Aundrey Walker and LB/DE-Andre Sturdivant from Glenville both report Iowa offers as well....

LOL ... little good that will do for Iowa. Oh, well ... we may was well try.

Thanks ... I'll add them to the list.

I know it might be a lot to ask and I really like the updates. Do they have ratings on these guys yet? Homer, would it be too much to ask to thow on the ratings for these guys?
I'm gonna assume most of the guys we have chances on are 3 and 4 stars. Some of the long shots are likely 5 stars. If its a pain don't worry about it, just figured I'd ask. Thanks again for the info.

Igothawked -

I'll be keeping the thread going up through the fall. Right now it doesn't make sense since so many guys simply haven't been evaluated yet. Furthermore, there's also the question of which "star-system" to use.

Also, whether or not a guy is a long shot has a lot more to do with how strong of a lean he is for one school or another ... and where he's located geographically. For the most part, if a kid is a 5-star guy and isn't from the midwest, our chance of getting him is nil. For example, one of the very few 5-star guys who is in a nearby state is Coe ... and it just so happens that we're very much in the running for him. Similarly, CJ Fiedorowicz wasn't really all that far away from being a 5-star guy last year too ... and we obviously had luck with him. Lastly, were it not for his father, it's not a stretch to imagine that maybe Iowa would have landed Seantrel Henderson. It's the 5-star guys in Texas, Florida, Ohio, and New Jersey that are veritably impossible for us to land.

Great, thanks Homer. Will be watching for updates.

I don't recall that argument, although I wouldn't say it didn't happen.

I just feel like you spend more time looking at guys who may someday be hawkeyes, rather than the guys who are currently hawkeyes.

I don't think I've ever seen a post by you that didn't have something related to recruiting or the NFL draft.

Its not a hatred or anything, just an amusement.

Kudos to you homer for feeding the fellas who want to know about potential prospects!

Yeah thanx for the updates

You must then selectively parse my posts. The great majority of my posts tend to be during the season when I'm breaking down match-ups between the guys we have and the folks who we're going to play.

I think you are way off base. Homer is a very good poster. I think he is very wordy at times but I know I am very guilty of that also. He is also relentlessly positive. That probably shouldn't be a negative. But he is easy to have a conversation with. He is not dismissive and actually looking to relate with his fellow fans not top them.

His analysis on the cyclonefanatic football board on the Iowa/isu game thread around page 19 is great.

Btw how does Kafka look as a 4th rounder?

[PlanoHawk]

homer- great update. keep up the good work and don't worry about the "amused". it's easy to create discussion posts/content about the postings from someone else because it requires minimal effort of their own.

Seems like more of an obsession than an amusement thing. I've even noticed that you follow him around and take shots at him.

Take a look at the Scout board during the season and you will find that your 2nd statement above couldn't be farther from the truth.

Couple more you might want to add: Nick Menocal LB/DE from Belen Jesuit HS, same HS that Iowa recruited Pablo Alvarez from last year.

DE Jordan Kerner from Fairview HS in PA (Erie area). Has offers from Maryland, BC, Rutgers, WV, Minnesota and Iowa. Has already visited Maryland and WVU. Has upcoming visit set a BC and will visit Iowa and Northwestern on June 11. His website is linked above.
