Wide error bars in both directions. But more upside than we've had going into a season since 2009, I'd say.
Just haven't found a role or a spot. Bounced around a bit and other players were better than him at those positions....similar to Verdis....rankings aren't everything obviously
And imagine if Iowa's offense is struggling learning a new system. That would put their offense at 131st out of 131 FBS teams!
Dont think its a matter of figuring it out. More like he peaked out in high school. Just couldnt improve .
Happens often. Recruiters don't really care about stats or how many championships you won in HS, but how you project as a player. A good example here in CA is a lot of kids are holdbacks, repeating grades in middle school and such. as a result they dominate the competition in games, at camps, etc... but then that is their peak god-given ability. Younger players in the same grade eventually catch up physically and often are better mentally, because they had to be to keep up, where as a more physically mature HS player could rely primarily on physical advantage.
Wooderson (Matt McConaughy character) from Dazed & Confused says hi
Holdbacks because a boy (its almost always boys) isnt mentally ready for school at age 5 is one thing and a valid practice.
LOVE this!
Tommy you helped bring us back to relevance.
Howard???
Thats right. That would be SWEET if Newton is staying!
