Any idea of the players they were their to scout? I’m drawing a blank on these two teams as far as top prospects go

When I think of Iowa, I think offensive line.

As for Rutgers, no one comes to mind.

Iowa Tight End Sam LaPorta is well regarded as a prospect

May be a target
Sure hope Joe Schoen has his ticket punched to Knoxville  
M.S. : 9/25/2022 9:10 am : link

Vols QB Hendon Hooker is ready and able.
If they're all at the Iowa game  
M.S. : 9/25/2022 9:15 am : link

they are definitely checking out LBer Jack Campbell, TE Sam LaPorta and probably OG Kyler Schott.

And older. Not sure I want a soon to be 25 year old developmental QB.

I'll take him right now. Dual threat. Competitive as all get-out. And passer-friendly system or not, Hendon Hooker has been lighting it up all season (and last season), and yesterday was no exception against Florida:

22 for 28 (78.6%); 349 yards with 2 TDs/0 INTs. QBRat: 206.8
And tack on 112 yards rushing on 13 carries and 1 TD.

Agreed. Hooker is maybe a 4th or 5th round guy.

Yup. Getts made several 'loca'l visits too over the years. Fake hustle, as Mark Jax likes to say, in Dave's case.

BIG no on this.

Seen him against Florida and Pitt this year. Bottom line, he’s a nice college QB, but his entire game relies on throws that won’t be part of any NFL offense he’s asked to run. Accuracy a real issue- and don’t cite the 69% completion rate- a lot of that is the numerous bubble screens the offense runs.

When he throws to receivers down the field, you rarely see them making easy catches. You see lots of stretches, dives and contortions. NFL receivers need the ball in stride and in the correct window. To date, Hooker hasn’t shown me that he can do that more than on occasion.

He’s an easy one to pass over on draft day.

He does look interesting, and he was on fire yesterday. A real sleeper because I don't remember to much discussion about him prior to the start of the season.

I also remember the chatter that while having been an excellent scout, Jerry Reese was reported to have stopped traveling to games as much and became lazy during his tenure as a GM
They were there to
