Very accurate as a junior, completing nearly 70% of his passes. Chev was following and Lindgren too. I think the Buffs would have looked here if Evans hadn't committed. He did get an Elite 11 invite, but did not make the finals.

Congrats to him. Iowa seems like a great place to play college football.

 

[buffaholic]

Awesome!

Good for him! At least he knows he'll play behind a really good offensive line. I'm really happy with the QB commit we got and like to see CO kids get to go where they want.

 

[The Ogre]

Congrats to him. Nice to see.

Wow

Wow

um... what did we miss here?!?!?!?

What did everyone outside of Iowa, and some mid majors miss?

What did everyone outside of Iowa, and some mid majors miss?

Georgia is now a mid level major?

 

[buffaholic]

If Montez was being recruited now given his size, arm, and athleticism, he'd have 50 offers.

Ratings matter.

It's also not a perfectly efficient market.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Georgia is now a mid level major?

Uh Georgia offered. They apparently aren’t missing anything...

Edit: I understand what you’re saying, but my point is that Georgia might be the gold standard for QB recruiting, so as soon as they offered anyone else who hasn’t has kind of missed something.

Iowa and Georgia offers for a QB stand tall. Don't think you can dispute that?

 

[Agent Dave Kujan]

He is having a heck of a senior year. No doubt about it

Apparently you aren’t following what I’m saying. It’s ok. We can move forward.

BTW, I understood everything you were "trying" to say. If you would have included Georgia in your original quote above, I wouldn't have been needling you. You missed my point completely probably because you thought you'd stated it different than you actually did.

 

[Buffnik]

Made it official.

There had been some whispers that CU had checked in to see if he had interest here.

 

[bpc5180]

you snooze, you lose unfortunately.

 

[Bison]

Kind of ironic that he got an UGA offer and we hired Tucker from UGA.

 

[Duff Man]

Supremely ironic.

Just guessing, but this would be what I imagine Nik's war room looks similar to during signing week

I wish.

It's more like this:

I’m personally hoping it looks more like a hotel. Because we recruit better when he’s not in town.

 

[WarBuff]

I wish.

It's more like this:

Scotch in a paper cup???? Say it isn't so!

 

[Alfred91]

I was kinda hoping that we'd get in on him after the Evans flip, but not surprised he stuck with Iowa (assuming we even tried).
