Iowa has done very well in Indy. A lot to sell there, and they're continuing to pursue Taylor.Not being connected to the program anymore, there are a few head scratchers and DJ going to Iowa is one of them. Didn't know if anyone had further info.
Players like this are the ones we have to keep in state. We can't be losing in state players to schools like Iowa , Minnesota or any other big ten schools like this. I can see losing players to OSU and UM but not to the middle of the pack schools.Not being connected to the program anymore, there are a few head scratchers and DJ going to Iowa is one of them.

They need to try and flip Taylor, they have less commits and a lower rivals recruiting ranking than us.Iowa has done very well in Indy. A lot to sell there, and they're continuing to pursue Taylor.
We just got one in Reese Taylor, although it's kind of hard to complain considering Iowa and Minnesota have had MUCH more success than we have in the last 25 years.Players like this are the ones we have to keep in state.

That's only based on total commits, not the individual recruit ranking. On the latter basis, they're ahead of IU.They need to try and flip Taylor, they have less commits and a lower rivals recruiting ranking than us.
Fan support and overall atmosphere are much greater at Iowa, where they've had a sustained winning program since the early '80's. As Toks made clear a couple years ago, that's a big deal to kids.Players like this are the ones we have to keep in state.

Well, they are ahead on average star rating by .06, we have 7 commits at 5.6 or better, they have 6. The point being ,you keep insisting our recruiting is slow or lagging behind, yet your quick to praise Iowa whose recruiting mirrors ours at this point. Interesting.That's only based on total commits, not the individual recruit ranking. On the latter basis, they're ahead of IU.
I praised them for getting (so far) four kids from Indiana that IU wanted. Pretty hard to say IU is doing well in recruiting when Iowa has dominated them in their own state, don't you think?Well, they are ahead on average star rating by .06, we have 7 commits at 5.6 or better, they have 6.

No, I'm just adding facts to a subject that you're well known for wildly embellishing. Your track record on this subject is exceedingly poor, so you'd be wise to excuse yourself from further embarrassment. I realize you have some issues, though, so I'm trying to be understanding.Hey look ordfan ruined another thread.
You're a doucheI praised them for getting (so far) four kids from Indiana that IU wanted. Pretty hard to say IU is doing well in recruiting when Iowa has dominated them in their own state, don't you think?
And it's "you're", not "your". Now that school is back in session, perhaps they'll cover that little issue in English.
As you are aware, IU told Torres to look elsewhere, but the other 3 I'm sure we would have taken (including a 2019 recruit) It does not change the fact that our recruiting is , at least ,as good as their's at this point.I praised them for getting (so far) four kids from Indiana that IU wanted.

He doesn't know what he's talking about.So, is their offer now a committable offer? Iowa was in Taylor's final group he was choosing from. You stated that his other offers had gone away.
The truth isn't always fun, even when you're called names for telling it. But it's still the truth.You're a douche
The Wisconsin offer was no longer "commitable", but the Iowa offer was and remains open.So, is their offer now a committable offer? Iowa was in Taylor's final group he was choosing from. You stated that his other offers had gone away.
You've never been anything but laughingly uninformed regarding recruiting. Please go away.He doesn't know what he's talking about.
Torres had an offer. You just weren't aware of it.As you are aware, IU told Torres to look elsewhere, but the other 3 I'm sure we would have taken (including a 2019 recruit) It does not change the fact that our recruiting is , at least ,as good as their's at this point.
Maybe they should offer our preferred walk on Tunstil.
I understand they have been more successful but until we keep these type of kids in state we will be a mediocre at best program. There is no reason that we can't be as successful as those programs or better than NW.We just got one in Reese Taylor, although it's kind of hard to complain considering Iowa and Minnesota have had MUCH more success than we have in the last 25 years.
Iowa had a "down" year last year and won eight games. We haven't won eight games in two decades. They were also in the Rose Bowl two years ago.
Minnesota has won at least eight games three of the past four years and has been to more bowl games in the past 15 years than we've been to in our entire history.
Johnson has also been a pretty heavy Iowa lean for a while and we aren't exactly struggling to recruit defensive backs.
What is funny is that Torres, himself, says otherwise.Torres had an offer. You just weren't aware of it.

Youth tickets are literally $10. And how exactly are we supposed to track attendance if you simply won't believe what the attendance figures are? We obviously don't sell out every week, but how do you suggest tracking attendance improvement if you don't believe any of the attendance figures?for all the spending Glass loves to do, he does exactly zero to try and fill the stands.
and he's never letting go of that mindset, EVER.
no telling how much the half empty or third empty stadium over the decades has hurt recruiting.
perhaps the political operative in Glass loves doling out dollars to construction interests way more than he does filling more seats in MS with actual fans for football games.
he didn't even do a "Knothole Club", after talking the talk endlessly.
the reason we don't get better attendance despite our history, (which becomes a vicious cycle of each bringing the other), is because we don't even try and never really have.
"hope for a miracle" has always been the attendance strategy.
as nice as the south end zone will look, it won't do 1/100th for recruiting what a full stadium would.
as for the "winning will bring the fans" captain obvious clones, pretty hard to win consistently if a third empty stadium is a turnoff to recruits.
and once you do start winning, you can always back off the promotions. (and yet this post will get several "winning will bring the fans" responses, from those who just don't get it, never will, but still just can't help themselves.
and before you go there 89, spare us the grossly inflated attendance figures Glass has put out there since he got here.
What is funny is that Torres, himself, says otherwise.
True story, but one person seems to have his own narrative , I think he would argue with Torres himself !Torres back in March said we had pulled his offer. He didn't say that to a IU beat writer either, he said it to Allen Trieu.

Wow. This is one of the most, um, ill-informed posts I've seen in a while. Per the NCAA:and before you go there 89, spare us the grossly inflated attendance figures Glass has put out there since he got here.
He knows those numbers. I've posted them before. He thinks that Glass is making all that up. Which is absolutely stupid. I mean it's obviously tickets sold and not butts in seats (which is what everyone does), but it's still a huge difference from what it was 10 years ago. I mean it's obvious if you go to any games now vs then.Wow. This is one of the most, um, ill-informed posts I've seen in a while. Per the NCAA:
IU's Avg. home attendance 2006: 33,063
Avg. home attendance 2007: 37,004
Avg. home attendance 2014: 41,657
Avg. home attendance 2015: 44,314
Avg. home attendance 2016: 43,027

Here's a tip. Don't challenge someone else's claim unless you've got some credible evidence to refute it.

The concessions and restrooms are being renovated after this season, as to be updated for ADA standards. The troughs will be gone. Also, the NEZ has had very nice restrooms for going on 7 years.Well,... I hate that your post makes me defend the spending.... the truth is the spending today is in part a reflection of NOT upgrading or maintaining the facility over 30+ years. I personally was sick of being soaked while walking in the stadium around the concession stands ... remember that? Year after year? I'm still sick of and would rather piss in a porta potty than piss in the urinals in the bathrooms....
My opinion is we shouldn't give to much credit to the admin for investing in long term assets. Fact is they needed to invest or risk losing them from lack of maintenance etc.... water and cement don't mix... I know a little bit about that and frankly, the stadium was an embarrassment to those in the know. The neglect over the years (and pocketing of revenue by the University) was a slap in the face of those asked to contribute. It truly was disposable income they were looking for....
Remember when RMK gave back or donated his salary when the team didn't preform up to par? I'd say THAT would go a long way with the University and its ulumni when it comes to the Football team or admin. This recent recruiting fiasco is just another example. They owe....
Well it was built in 1960.Those men's restrooms should be called the measuring room...what a GD joke that trough idea has been.

Bathrooms always seemed more circa 1860.Well it was built in 1960.
Can somebody name 1 kid that played for the Iowa Hawkeyes over the years besides AJ Edds that was a prominent player on their team? A starting player who was an impact guy?
Toks may become that but he hasn't even played a down yet.
Until this current 2018 recruiting class, Iowa has landed 2 guys from the state of IN in the last 7 recruiting classes.
And, we flipped a 4 star Iowa verbal three years ago from Indianapolis who flamed out, never saw a down and left school.
The vast majority of the guys that see prime time at Iowa have come from states like Michigan and Illinois, not Indiana.
And, on this subject of fan base support and success: Iowa has seen consistency in both areas over the Ferentz years and, yet, they consistently also have recruiting classes that hover in the 40s. Our fans would be outraged and throwing tantrums if our level of success was at that level and we weren't pulling in more 4-star kids.
