On the bench, I am 100% certain that is still the case. Look at some of the wins he's had this year with the talent he's got. The problem is that the talent level is on him and he's got to get to the point where not everybody is a 5 year project from small town Iowa. Realistically, he's got two players on the roster that other teams realistically wanted and made an effort to get. Pickford and Phyfe, that't it.
Look at the offers of everybody else--
Phyfe-Air Force, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Iowa Football
Pickford-Nebraska, Iowa State, Loyola, Michigan State Preferred Walk On.
Carlson-Idaho State, Omaha
Koch-No other DI offers, committed as a sophomore
McCloud-3*, Drake, Milwaukee, Green Bay
Wyatt Lohaus-Heart condition scared others off. Preferred Walk on at Iowa State
Isaiah Brown-UT-San Antonio
Haldeman--South Dakota, Northern Colorado
Friedman-Drake, Weber State
McDonnell-3*, Drake, Iowa and Wisconsin Preferred Walk On--Huge Bust at this point
Justin Dahl-Brown, Illinois State, Omaha
Adam McDermott-Transfer from North Dakota-Only DI offer out of HS
Tanner Lohaus-No DI offers, baseball recruit
Just because we hit on a few small town Iowa kids, doesn't mean that's all we should recruit. The class off of the Top 10 Tuttle team (McCloud, McDonnell, Haldeman, Dahl) is an absolute bust at this point.
