    Let the portal madness begin

    I would love to have that luxury but with the immediate needs on the DL, I don't see that happening.

    Iowa State has been decimated

    I agree. It certainly doesn't help that the lone representative in the playoffs, Texas Tech, got smoked by Oregon. Not a good look for the league and by extension, all of their teams.

    Let the portal madness begin

    New commitment announced this morning, Brice Stevenson. DL from Holy Cross. One year of eligibility remaining. Position of need but we have been hit and miss on these lower division transfers so we'll see how it works out.

    Warren Ruggiero is leaving

    I think he was most likely a one year and done deal from the start. Tim Lester knew him from a previous stop and saw an opportunity to get someone who could help him game plan. From what I read he was a pretty valuable piece. My guess is he is closer to home at Virginia Tech, maybe some added...

    Let the portal madness begin

    We got a commitment from an FCS DB from Villanova, Anthony Hawkins. There is a story on HawkCentral.com (subscription required) and it sounds like most of our targets are FCS/smaller division players. Kind of fits our past history of what we go after, FWIW.

    Dakin Gone

    Did not know that, thanks for the info. And you're correct, much better to have to deal with this now than mid season.

    Let the portal madness begin

    I saw this this morning and was mildly shocked. Had lots of snaps this year and was going to get starter reps next year. Maybe it's a money thing, maybe something else. At best this hurts our depth on the D Line, at worst we lost a player with All-B1G potential.

    Dakin Gone

    Dakin cannot earn anything from NIL. So his best shot at a payday is to work hard for four years and, hopefully, get drafted into the NFL.

    Let the portal madness begin

    Didn't know that. Would be a pretty big loss for Minny. I think the kid is a very good DB but to be honest I never really saw much out of him as a punt/kick returner. And, they tried to pretend that he was some two-way threat and put him in for a few offensive plays that never amounted to...

    Let the portal madness begin

    Just saw that Kael Kolarik is entering the portal. He has one year of eligibility. Best of luck to him.

    Dakin Gone

    Keep in mind these Australian punters do not get the luxury of getting NIL $$. There is some sort of rule against it. I remember Tory Taylor being in the same situation a few years ago. So Dakin has to do all he can to get to the NFL to start making money. He probably figures following Woods...

    Transfer Portal Rumor - RB

    I don't profess to have all of the answers but I have heard this on a couple of podcasts and you can see on some of the replays. It's an innate sense that good running backs seem to have and, IMO, Moulton doesn't seem to have it. I think he is a capable back and I am not trying to suggest he...

    Transfer Portal Rumor - RB

    I don't think Moulton's lack of big runs is so much a lack of speed. It seems to me that he does not have really good vision that top running backs have. He tends to break into tacklers instead of away from sometimes. It is a knack that most top running backs possess.

    Transfer Portal Rumor - RB

    He was injured. Attended the game. No portal rumor with him.

    No opt-outs

    I know everybody from message boards to the media have been talking about Iowa having no opt-outs. But isn't TJ Washington an opt-out?

    It's Game Day, Boys!!!

    Haha, my wife said the same thing. :)

    It's Game Day, Boys!!!

    I had read earlier in the week that he was injured. And he is in attendance (and on the pre-game injury report). So I don't think this is a portal situation.

    Why Owen, why?

    He is getting a lot of money to sit on the bench.

    LeVar to Michigan State

    This is KF's son-in-law. I would say 0% chance of him leaving while KF is still here. He is our GM and it sounds like he is pretty well thought of. Other schools have tried to hire him away.

    Does Iowa have a QB that can be good next year

    This is my take on the situation as well. And kudos for spelling Hecklinski correctly! ;) LOL.
