    Commits this Weekend??

    Didn't see that he had re-commited, don't really know what that means. I didn't know he had ever officially decommitted though, so it could be that the website you're referencing just made a mistake in removing his original commitment or something like that. Interesting. With regard to the...

    Notre Dame Video Student Death?

    Eh, there's an investigation going on right now. That story was all over ESPN for like a solid week when it broke. Mike and Mike spent like a solid 30 minutes on it the day after it happened. There's just no news to report right now. The investigators are doing their work and we won't know...

    Could the DJK arrest actually benefit Iowa?

    Not necessarily, at least according to the presser. They said that they have the discretion to make the decision, but that counseling is also an alternative possibility for a first offense.

    Bowl Game Two Deeps Questions

    If we go 3-wide, we could still use CJF as TE. In a pro set with an ace backfield, you have obviously 5 linemen, 1 TE, 3 WR, 1 RB, 1 QB. In that set, we could go with KD and MM on the outside, KMM in the slot, and still isolate CJF against a LB or safety.

    He did, as a CB. It's assumed that he would change his mind if we offered though.

    Final Recruiting Push: Who do we get

    Coe Pitts McCall Farrow Kirby Williams Cooper That still leaves us one open spot this year assuming all of our commits stick and nobody transfers. Cyrus Kouandjio? He's had good things to say about us and NEW MEXICO recently. The big thing that everyone thought Bama had going for them was...

    Commits this Weekend??

    Hendy was already a Maryland commit but will likely decommit because their head coach is headed to Vanderbilt IIRC. He said before that a coaching change could impact his commitment. I think we get Kirby and Williams, plus McCall since MSU pulled his offer and he'll want to find a seat before...

    MSU McCall

    My thoughts exactly, he runs really angry. I was bummed that we lost Gordon but if we can pick up Lafayette Pitts and Mikail McCall this weekend (both are visiting) I'd be saying "Melvin What?" by Monday evening.

    Bowl Game Two Deeps Questions

    I figure they start KD and MM next year at #1 and #2. Davis will be a 3rd year player and our most experienced receiver with actual in-game PT outside of McNutt (correct me if I'm wrong on this). The interesting thing, to me, will be to see if we stick with a 2-wide base set or go to a 3-wide...

    Could the DJK arrest actually benefit Iowa?

    Your last statement totally sums up my feelings on it. Most parents would be mortified if their kid wound up in the mess DJK is in. However, I'd be willing to bet most parents think to themselves, "Little Johnny would NEVER get caught up in that sort of thing!". I think, for that reason, that...

    Thanks! Be sure to show up in black and old gold!

    Could the DJK arrest actually benefit Iowa?

    You make a good point about him admitting everything, but there are coaches out there who would play him even after a conviction if they thought it would win them a football game. In the presser, the question was asked (I'm paraphrasing) if DJK would be allowed to use the facilities to prepare...

    Could the DJK arrest actually benefit Iowa?

    I think the biggest benefit we COULD get out of this is with the parents. They know that their kids will be playing for a no-nonsense coach who doesn't hesitate to put character ahead of winning (let's not forget that DJK hasn't been convicted of anything yet; Chris L. Rucker was found guilty...

    MSU McCall

    I kinda disagree. The departure of Hampton has moved our recruiting priority from 2 RBs to 3. We'll still want a top-talent RB to be the 2nd this year, then we can wait on the 3rd.

    Dan Heiar/Jared Ebert Question

    This. Oregon runs on quarters and he'll still be able to do spring practice there. The Iowa coaches felt like if he wasn't going to be on campus until the fall then he'd probably have a hard time finding PT. They seem confident about the younger guys they already have.

    Jordan Bernstein

    Maybe not that long of a shot. He was a RB in HS and was a pretty good one. It's possible that if we whiff on basically all of our RB recruits this year, they'll switch him in the spring. He's got a bunch of talent and I don't see the coaches letting that go to waste for his entire career.

    MSU McCall

    I'm about 85% sure we'll get him. He was in town for the PSU game earlier in the year and was impressed by the atmosphere (though he had to stay muted in his comments because he was still a solid MSU commit). His coach is from Iowa and his coach's father is Ed Morrisey who played for the Hawks...

    Bowl Game Two Deeps Questions

    1. It may be that both Gettis and MacMillan are still nursing injuries and may be good to go by bowl game time. I sure hope so. 2. KF said today that they're on schedule to have Tarp ready to go for the bowl game. Of course, that assumes there are no further setbacks, but he should be...

    James Morris and Nolan MacMillan - CFN All-American Freshman

    No, I figure TMFS will be on the team next year but he's not my favorite. He's a lot of fun to watch and makes some SERIOUS plays but the only safety who's ever been my favorite defensive player (at any level) was Bob Sanders. The safeties just aren't in on as many plays as the MLB or DTs so...

    To those who had bad "inside information"

    This. It seems like, in a harried effort to maintain some credibility, the rumor mongers have now turned into spin doctors. "Hey, my info was correct; 20+ players DID test positive, but the coaches just aren't suspending them for it." Yeah, ok, since anything remotely like that came out of...
