BTN at Iowa Open Practice

[tm3308]

Mikail McCall...

McCall only weighed 215 when he was at Iowa, at least according to his bio on hawkeyesports.com. Greene had 20 pounds on him in 2008.

Based on reps in practice - looks like LeShun Daniels has a good chance to see field at RB. At WR, seems Tevaun Smith could have bigger role

Ok good point. Coker was pretty big but I think he was slower than Greene.

#Hawkeyes no-huddle won't be confused with Oregon's; reminds me of Kansas style under @KeepSawinWood. And that is a good thing.

WAY slower. Coker would never, in a million years, have been able to slip out of a tackle and reverse his field to pick up 30+ yards like Greene did against ISU. Or pull off the wicked spin move that Greene used to break off a 75-yard TD against Purdue. The list goes on.

If Daniels does turn out to be a faster version of Greene, he will go down as the best back in school history.

Iowa is one of those practices where there is constant coach feedback. Ferentz provides a lot of it - particularly w line play.

Favorite so far. This is why kids and parents should choose Iowa.

Side note: this entire thread is getting my über pumped for the football!

Thx CPHawk & Casey388

I am getting the feeling KF is finding it hard to say no to Beathard.

I bet we see a Rudock/Beathard depth chart Week 1 and Beathard is taking all the snaps by midseason.

He sure must be good if he's moving above an upper classman.

First time I have ever heard a sophomore referred to as an upperclassman.

Meier also had offers from UNI and South Dakota.

wow

I had heard about true frosh RB LeShun Daniels prior to coming to #Hawkeyes camp. And he looks good. A faster Shonn Geeene?

Ok, that settles it for me. If that truly is the case, play him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It isn't the case. He clearly put the question mark at the end so he wouldn't have to own the quote, but hawk fanboys across the midwest would still retweet it.

That said, I look forward to seeing what LD can do.

The emergence of Daniels is great. It allows them to use Bullock as more of a receiver and maybe even Canzeri too.

Seems like the D sounds like it will be improved. A lot is being said about Lbs DBs and DTs. If they can find a couple guys at DE to put some pressure kn the QB they could be vastly improved from last year.

Granted, I only saw one play from Daniels during the scrimmage the other night (from Morehouse's video), but he definitely showed a similar burst through the line. I would be interested to see how his 40 time matches up against Greene's from his junior year.

Kevonte Martin-Manley, Jordan Canzeri, Desmond King. Riley McCarron working as punt returners. #Hawkeyes

Kinda what I'm thinking.

I thought Sokol was a Junior. And he's moved above him, right

correct. 136 apparently thought you had put beathard in front of rudock too. i meant to respond to that but spaced it

 

[hawkeyebob62]

I think he means elevating over Sokol, who is definitely an upperclassman.

Does this mean Sokol will quit or transfer? That seems to be the prevailing trend in college sports, any way.

Still, kind of weird that KF states who is leading, in second, etc., while at the same time stating he will let it "play out".

That's not all that weird. It's like a third quarter score update. If the race ended today, it would be Rudock, Beathard, Sokol. But the race isn't over just yet.

 

[whammer33024]

perhaps beathard is closer to rudock than we realize and could overtake him
