Iowa CB Terry Roberts transfers from Miami

[IndayArtHauz]

yikes

every second you spent on this kid was a total waste

guess you can do that when you have zero accountability

 

[TheOriginalCane]

The problem is our evaluators on staff are only slightly better than the evaluators on CIS. I remember vividly when dudes tried to convince me that guys like Larry Hope and Ryan Mayes were going to be studs. We are still playing that game I see

Yeah, Mario and Alonzo really screwed the pooch on Larry Hope and Ryan Mayes...

Nice try, Mr Secretary. The insult was to the “talent evaluators” on our board, not the current staff. I need 2,000 words posted by tomorrow on how you’ll be better at this.

Wow. That's a deliberate load of bullcrap spinning...

"The problem is our evaluators on staff are only slightly better than the evaluators on CIS. I remember vividly when dudes tried to convince me that guys like Larry Hope and Ryan Mayes were going to be studs. We are still playing that game I see"

Maybe you thought you said things more eloquently, but "our evalutors on staff" are quite clearly "the current staff", and you said they were only "slighly better" than the CIS evaluators. So you insulted both groups.

See, that was way under 2,000 words (and some of them were yours).

No you nailed it. I was insulting both groups. They botched this evaluation badly. I said they are slightly better than this outfit here, who routinely botches evaluations, as hyperbole to show how bad the evals were by both groups.. You created a separate argument that I didn’t put forward by saying I was bashing the current staff for their evaluations done by the previous regime

Yeah, Mario and Alonzo really screwed the pooch on Larry Hope and Ryan Mayes...

But you then correctly pointed out I wasn’t - I was bashing the staff for being a little better than our posters for their bad evaluation skills.

but "our evalutors on staff" are quite clearly "the current staff", and you said they were only "slighly better" than the CIS evaluators. So you insulted both groups.

You did it. You solved the case.

OK, but we have like no depth at safety.

he wasnt playing there either.

They still have time to grab a grad transfer out of the portal at safety to go with Balom,Williams, and the freshman safety has already showed some promise. Im also not listing Jaden Harris who flashed int he spring scrimmage as well.

 

[DTP]

This is what happens when you bring in grad transfers or older players to fill "depth" positions. Most older guys aren't coming here to sit the bench.

needs to be pinned

 

[Home Slice]

It is what it is. Portal giveth and taketh

 

[grover]

I’m really not sure what the problem is here. Posters are acting as if our portal evals were off.

Of our portal kids, the two offense of lineman are starters, the tight end will play often, the running back will play often, the linebacker will start, both cornerbacks will be transfer starters, and the two receivers will see a ton of playing time and change the way defenses have to cover us. At defensive tackle, one of the three will start, another is a project with significant upside, and a third is the only other “miss“ besides Porter.

Am I missing something?

It’s all a part of the marketing strategy.

Can’t sell the actual product? No problem!

Sell them eternal hope instead thru recruiting news and well placed practice reports and scoops.

I’m not complaining, you see, as I benefit from this cycle.

But let’s call it what it is; Football propaganda.

I like the portal grabs this year a lot better than what they got last year. It was essentially Messidor and a bunch of JAGs.

 

[Dwinstitles]

I actually like kids like this. Super logical knowing he wasn't going to beat the guys that are at the top. Made a choice kept it moving quick fast.

Parrish and DJ were decent but pretty much.

Parrish ended up being a nice addition mostly because every running back got hurt or just couldn’t stop fumbling. In an ideal world, he’s our RB3

I have not seen it mentioned...but we also took 4 portal corners. Roberts was the first. Then we landed Brown Brother, Jaden Davis, and Vandy corner. Roberts ended up being the worst...and we may replace him with a high upside JUCO w 3 years left.

This seems like a good thing to me.

 

[canadianhurricane]

Not sure what they (our coaches) could of done differently. He, Roberts, was a key part of a very productive defense. He was expected to start this year, again, for Iowa, had he stayed. He was offered by offer P5 schools, who actively recruited him when he hit the portal.

It didn't work out and I'm happy we aren't seeing him forced onto the field.

Exactly...

Better than sulking and becoming a cancer on the team.

Last chance for him..needs to go somewhere where he can play a lot and get a chance at the league if that's his goal.

Otherwise he could have just rode it out and got his graduate degree at Miami and moved on to life after football next year.

So who on staff was pimping him? I don’t remember anybody on staff saying much about him after he was brought on, other than possibly the regular bland platitudes when they can talk about him, which they would do for anyone, but I could be wrong.
