    COKER!!! You gotta be Jerking my Chain

    I seriously doubt that Coker will see any playing time this year. If the rumors about Brandon are true he may still be back in time to play a lot this year. Robinson and Hampton will carry the load, Rogers is a big back with time in the system, and Paki knows the offense. People are...

    Who gets the carries

    I would hope that we're in position to get Rogers some carries and it would not surprise me to see Paki get rewarded with some too. Eastern IL should give us some room to see both these guys in action and keep J-Robs carries close to his normal load. I'd hate to see Coker burn a red shirt...

    Anyone Suprised

    As we continue to put out more top quality o-line prospects I think we can afford to be a little more selective. I don't doubt that o-line is a place where we may have the luxury of waiting a bit longer for the big fish. I suspect that we'll be okay with the o-line recruiting when all is said...

    Media sticking up for cheaters

    I'm sure this is a beaten to death horse, but the best idea IMO is that any agent caught funneling funds to a student athlete or their family be banned from representing any player in an NFL contract. It hits the person 'causing the problem and diminishes the big dollar money flow. Certainly...

    A lot of "glue"-guys in the 2011 recruiting class

    I think there are a bunch of guys that could make a solid contribution as freshman or most likely as RS freshman on special teams. Some of these kids have a ways to grow but I could see some of this athletic talent make a difference on special teams after their red shirt year.

    Explosive players..

    The Hawks have always won/lost with line play. I don't think we have enough on the offensive line to be championship caliber. We've got a lot of guys who can make plays, but I don't see us as having big time playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. If not for the defensive line I'd label...

    ND Athletes arrested for underage drinking

    Was surprised to see the comment from Kelly stating that IF any discipline would be issued it would be handled internally. I think some coaches may consider discipline is in order for an incident like this. Maybe after his investigation we'll see some suspensions, but maybe so many were...

    Torrey Campbell

    He shows great speed against his high school competition. I know Naples is a decent sized city, but does anyone know what class his team plays in? I'm not familiar enough with Florida to know if a 3A as an example is mid level range or the top tier. If someone knows the answer please provide...

    Killing the Vibe?

    I think the real loss in momentum could be in recruiting. Another couple of screw upsand it could be an issue used against us.

    Impressions on who might finish off the '11 recruiting class

    I think we'd love to see more D-backs as well, but Sanders, Considine, Godfrey, Sash and Amari haven't been chopped liver. The great thing about the Hawks is it isn't a single position coach or 5 stars that have pushed people to their potential. We are known for our o-line, but the D-line is...

    Are we to the point where...

    Definitely not to reloading yet. The best Iowa teams usually showcase some kids who just flat rose to the top through hard work and great development. Years when you have a Sanders, Clark, Gallery, Greenway, etc. all come together at once just can't be expected or counted on. SG, Pat...

    Christian French Article on ESPN

    I don't disagree with either of you, but sometimes the 18 year old mind doesn't work that way. I hope French comes on board too, but I'm glad we landed all three we did yesterday.

    This QB Signee is Good

    Really have to like what you see with this kid. His 0-line gave him all day and he's obviously had some great wideouts who had a lot of separation for him. That said most of his throws were right on the money, he seemed to have a quick release, and he certainly is athletic enough to run it if...

    3rd Commit: QB Jacob Rudoch?

    IMO there much more to selecting a QB then watching game film. Personality and the the ability to lead in addition to good decision making are bigger keys, again IMO. This kid has found a way to lead a talented high school team, is a proven winner, and looks to match his skill set to a team...

    Christian French Article on ESPN

    I'm wondering what Hamilton's commitment might mean to us with French.

    Coach Ferentz has made a Quasi-Statement on Jewel/Jordan

    I'd guess Jordon may have just sewn up a second team role barring injuries and Jewel will have to win a starting job with his game performances. Kids do stupid things and these guys may have tossed away their seasons if the starters perform well. It may be tough to get back on the field if...

    This time last year.......

    the football team had verbals from Morris, Poggi, Gray, and Ferguson. I'd hoped that the Orange Bowl win and how quickly last years class filled up would have given us an inside track to a big recruiting year this season. To those in the know, how's the sense of the overall forecast for this...

    2006 Syracuse:The Stand

    Pretty sure it was before Jake. The back-up QB played for us, name escapes me. We played down to the level of the competition, but the stand allowed us to win an otherwise ugly game.

    Someone PLease explain Wisconsin love to me...

    Writers like offense. Wisky has a big line, a big back, and a ton of returning starters. I think most teams will have issues lining up against this group. I don't expect the Hawkeyes to be one of the teams that struggle. That said we may have a greater tendency to play down to the level of...

    Calloway to Bills

    Think about the ESPN coverage. Urban Meyer, Mac Brown, and Pete Carroll still a USC "face" getting cameo's. It's no wonder the Hawks face somewhat of an uphill recruiting battle to say nothing of the climate. I will say this tho... the gurus have been fawning over Amari, Tony, and Pat for...
