Can someone tell me if it is true BW is back enrolled at the U of I? If is is true is there any intention of putting pads back on? IT came across my Twitter a few hours ago.

Even if he is at Iowa taking classes no way he is back on the team, its water under the bridge now.
I have no problem with him coming back, I just dont see it happening. Had he not left the team i think he would have been the best back Kirk has had when all was said and done. And what I meant by water under the bridge, is Kirk isnt going to worry or waste time/resources on him, he has to think about the present and future and as of know BW isnt apart of it. But I would welcome him back.While I mostly agree with you, The more I think about it I don't see why he shouldn't be welcomed back. What are the FACTS on his release again?
If he truly left to deal with personal issues (fathering a child) I don't see why he couldn't come back. Sure he left at a pretty inopportune time but it's not as though he was kicked off the team. But I guess i could be miss remembering the situation.
and I'll be honest...we could use him. Assuming he's in shape.
I for one would welcome him back to the Hawks.

Really? He got a couple girls pregnant - flaked out - left our team - left school - went to Oklahoma - joined their team - flaked out again - left their team and their school and moved back home. Sounds like a winner to me.

here's the tweet:

Forums: Brandon Wegher returns to the U of I http://bit.ly/rrmrim #hawkeyes
My guess is it's just a clever headline. Would be extremely interesting if he's enrolled though.
Do you know the details of his personal situation? If not, then I don't think you should judge the kid. You don't know what kind of situation he's in.
This is exactly what it is. It's just the title of a thread over on HI discussing if Kirk would allow BW to come back to the team if Brandon decided to do so. I suppose it's a good way to get site hits though.

if if if if if.....think of what a great combo Coker and Wegher would be.
Not that great actually... Huge drop off actually when Coker rests.
If Weghery left for personal/family reasons then why did he try to transfer to Oklahoma? The whole family excuse is bogus. It boils down to seeing the writing on the wall that he wasn't going to get snaps his sophomore year if he wanted to stay at RB.
There were 3 better RB's on Iowa's FB team the year Brandon quit. He got to play as a freshman because 1 of those better RB's tore his ACL (Hampton) and we were thing at RB.
Barring injury to two of the three better RB's on Iowa's football team entering the 2010 season... Wegher was not going to get snaps at RB his sophomore year so he quit. End of story.
Unfortunately, Wegher quit before we got to see an official depth chart for a game when Jewel Hampton was not suspended. I suspect entering the Arizona game this is what the depth chart would have looked like:
#1 Jewel Hampton
#2 Adam Robinson
#3 Brandon Wegher/Marcus Coker
And if #1 or #2 went down and we were mid-season Coker would have gotten the nod ahead of Wegher. No way to prove it... just my opinion.
So by this logic, the Chicago Bulls should not have let Jordan come back after he "quit" on the team following '93 season?I won't welcome him back. He quit on the team.
