    Who's the best HS athlete you've seen in person?

    While not in the same vain as Tavian or Timmy D but back in 79 a friend Tim Hanna played for my home town. We were a 3A school one level down from the big schools. I was a few years older and my class had an undefeated football team with some pretty good football players who ended up playing...

    Sportingnews top units in CFB

    I think our D line is low, many sports talking heads think Iowa has the best front 4 in the country.

    Anyone Suprised

    Is anyone one suprised at what seems like very big time lineman who have committed over the last couple of years. We brought in Donnal and Scherff this last year and Blythe appears to be the only OL commit so far this year. It just seems like we don't have that much depth unless Kirk is...

    Explosive players..

    They may be more explosive than they have been in years with DJK and McNutt and Davis. McNutt is that big wide out that everybody wishes for, good speed and athletic. McNutt is the kind of guy you love on the goal line. Stanzi can throw the ball up and Marvin can go get it with his big...

    Mike Orloff

    Wow, this guy was offered by Harvard, you have got to have the real academics to get in. Welcom to the Hawkeyes!

    Mike Orloff

    Looks like a typical Iowa commit, solid, decent speed and a quarterback that will play LB. If you read his about him he is a hard worker and good student and a great leader on a winning team. Bet he will be a stud in a few years!

    All Time Hawkeye football Team

    I think you can't leave off some of the good lineman of the 80's, I personally think John Alt and Mike Haight should be in any discussion on anyones top offensive lines. Alt was a dominant left tackle and had 12 years in the NFL, several all pro, he was a pre Gallery, big and rangy and an...

    D.J. and Greg Stokes Talk About Walking On

    I saw DJ play a few times at Linn Mar. I believe he is a legimate walk-on who if he works hard can get some valuable minutes. He really needs to get stronger and bulk up, but he is a good leaper and good around the basket, gets alot of junk. He needs to be a bit more consistant. I saw him...

    Best Iowa DL ever?

    Bortz, Dean along with Tippett who played a kind of DE/Linebacker. Tippett was a pressure machine and the defense was all they had, the offense was pretty weak. Even though the D dominated in 2004 and they had no running game, they still had Drew Tate, they had nothing like him in the early...

    Should Bulaga have stayed?

    I think anytime you are a first rounder you made the right call. You always risk injury which would definitely lower your draft status. He made the right decision.

    RB situation

    Wegher is going to be better this year. No matter how strong a HS kid is, give him one year in a college strength program and he will be much better. He will be breaking tackles this year plus he will gain a little more speed and quickness under Doyle. Could be a nice run for our running...

    RB situation

    I am anxious to see Wegher with one year under Doyle, he will be a bit faster and definitely stronger. Both did a great job of ball protection. I think Wegher played slow sometimes just to protect the ball but that is only an opinion. I know from HS clips he has a good burst and I think...

    Steven Staggs

    Has anybody heard how this kid is doing? I think he walked on and is from Oskaloosa. I remember him in the Shrine game and I thought he looked pretty good. He has good size at 6'3"" and seemed to be an instinctive receiver. I think he might have played with Vandenberg in the Shrine game...

    Anyone heard how they are progressing and if any of the young guys are stepping up?
