WTF is right.

Thanks for the explanation. The coaches must be very satisfied with whom they currently have in the two-deep and in development. Ebert not completing JUCO until May surely wouldn't help him get an offer from us. It would look pretty bad though if a hometown kid like Ebert went to Penn State and...

KF will listen to PSU if they come calling, as that will help him get deal in future contract negotiations, but no way he even considers leaving now. James would either have to stay here and play two years with most fans and his teammates feeling betrayed, or transfer to PSU, which depending on...

Great for Dan Heiar. We don't go after many JUCO's but the one's we do have turned out very well. Curious why we haven't offered Dan Ebert, the Iowa Western DT from Iowa City. Losing three senior starters on the DL makes me think that we'd go after a JUCO DT with offers like he has regardless...

Win. Kirk Ferentz has his fan base breathing down his neck, frustrated at the disappointments this season, and comes up with a priceless quote like that to put it all in perspective. This is D1 football, the key to winning consistently, especially at a place like Iowa, is to be in it for the...

A.J. Derby's Rivals profile says that he ran a 4.88 forty. OK, that seems slower than what is expected for him. Look deeper and you see where it comes from - January 2009 U.S. Army National Combine - mid-way through his junior year of high school. Likely electronic timing at that event, which...

Our linebacker depth problem goes back to our recruiting classes in 2008 & 2009, where we signed only one true linebacker in each class, and all of them only were unheralded 2-star types, most of whom had no other D1 BCS offers. In 2008 we brought in only one LB - Steve Bigach - who is now...

And Solon just 10 miles to the north could make it three Johnson County state football champions.

Ben Boesen is certainly a great high school athlete for a great Dowling team. I don't know anything about his other measurables and have never seen him play. However I did see him up close in person at a college football game this fall, and he's very lean and doesn't appear to have the frame...

Somewhat different situation for Luebke. He walked-on after one semester at a JUCO, following his high school head coach, Reese Morgan, into the Hawkeye program. He had four years to play and wasn't awarded a scholarship until his third year. HawkeyeReport.com - From Walk-On To Super Bowl

Seems like CF was catching a lot of flack early in the year because his coach was trying to get him the ball a lot on offense as a receiver in their first few games against some very good teams. What the naysayers didn't take into account is that he had never played wide receiver before. Had a...

Congratulations to Christian and his Kennedy team for the big win. He caught a lot of flack early in the year when his team was struggling, so it's great to read that he's recovered from his injury and making big plays to help his team win. I'll be shocked if he doesn't pick Iowa considering...

I'm the one who said he looks 5'10" and not 6'0". I agree that the height difference doesn't matter for a running back. I only mentioned it because in the article it's talking him up because he's "bigger" than the starting running backs for Iowa and Iowa State, and from what I saw in the...

Agree biggest need is DB. Another OT prospect would be good, but I suspect that one of the TE or DEs in this class end up at OT. One RB (Coe) Two DE/DTs. Two or three athletes for DB or WR.

Exactly. I've read several posters on HN and HR trying to compare Ebertowski to Sash. If he was anything close to Sash, he'd already have an offer. That he doesn't have one from us or ISU or UNI says that he isn't even close to Sash. In high school Sash was a top all-around football player...

I don't know Jamison Lalk or anyone close to him. Based this off of what I've read on the ISU and IowaPreps Rivals sites. Read an interview he gave right after the ISU offer that indicated that if no other programs offer, he will pick Iowa State. Iowa was the only other program recruiting...

Thanks for bringing this up, because I'm curious what our coaches will decide about a kid from Logan playing this year, Levi Ettleman. There wasn't much publicity on him going in to the summer, but he's started to get attention now that the season's in session. He got an offer from UNI a few...

This article is incorrect. Plenty of D1 programs are interested in Ebertowski. He went to Iowa and Iowa State's camps this summer. The coaches of both programs told him they wanted to see him change directions better. They don't think that he has the hips to play defensive back in D1...

Here's his 2010 highlight videos: Austin Ebertowski - Highlight Videos - Hudl What I see: Great straight ahead speed. Tends to run around or over someone rather than making them miss with a cutback or spin move. Most runs are off-tackle or sweeps. Doesn't run up the middle? Or do it well...

No opponent DL will challenge our OL more this year than the nation's best DL that they face in practice each day. The concern for the OL should not be new starters, but injuries during the preseason and in the first few games to the projected starters. That's where the weakness was last...
