[quote]No i get what you were saying.
I was just saying that having the 15th most players in the NFL in the last 15 years is a good achievement. But, being 1 of the top programs when it comes to sending players to the NFL and being 1 of the most valuable programs, Iowa has only finished in the t...

[quote]So a team that has the 15th most players in the NFL and is the 15th most valuable program in the nation..... finishes in the top 10 ONLY 25% of the time??
Thats not good.[/quote]
You made me curious about this so I went and looked at the other schools ranked in the top ten at the end...

[quote]So we should not play the more talented person just the one with more time on the team?[/quote]
I take it that you missed the "just as talented with more experienced" part of my comment you quoted.
Consider how many great players you would have if they stayed for 4-5 years and how many ...

[quote]How do you calculate this:

I think we're poised for a top ten finish in 2014/2015
From this:

Since that, our Rivals rank has been #42, #30, #43 and #53 over the past four years. We've generally been a BCS team with rankings above #50

[quote]Does Iowa tend to sign full classes of 25 guys? If so, how do y'all go about staying under the 85 limit if you rely so heavily on 5th year seniors?[/quote]
No, a typical class is about 20. That 2009 class had 19, but attrition claimed over half the class and we only had 8 players finish o...

[quote]If Iowa would've faced an LSU team full of players who have stayed on a minimum of 4 years, the game would've been over by the end of the 1st quarter. With a 4th year requirement for NFL eligibility, the competitive gap between top tier teams and teams like Iowa would be much larger. Getting ...

[quote]Thats not the point. Saying we only beat y'all because you didn't have any 5th year seniors is crazy. How many teams do you think are just chalked full of 5th year seniors? Do you think if your players were still hanging around after 5 years they would be good enough to beat LSU? Great player...

[quote]you depend on 5th year seniors making contributions? because that is who the 2009 class would be.
What about your 4th year seniors?[/quote]
It was a better recruiting class and they were much needed because the two previous classes before them sucked so bad.
We don't typically play ...

[quote]What's a 5th year senior? Our guys are in the NFL after 3 years. Sorry, haven't time to reminisce with you. We're getting ready for Wisconsin.[/quote]

That said, however, you really can't expect to come here with a hopelessly lame and totally defenseless premise that "We lost because we had a bad recruiting class 5 years ago," and not expect to be skew...

[quote]And how do you justify paying a coach 3.65 million a year who sucks that bad at recruiting? If your answer is that he is good at developing talent and getting the best out of his players, then you are contradicting your point that recruiting rankings are significant.[/quote]. We can succeed w...

No, if you followed the link you would realize that only 4 of 19 were multiple year starters. In a program that depends on seniors making a significant contribution, it's a kill...
