De'Andre Johnson dismissed

[DexterMorgan]

Lynch > Iowa. Book it. Why else would he be waiting til Aug 5th to make a decision? He's waiting til August 5th to announce his decision...to transfer to Iowa.

I agree that any kid that trips up like that isn't too bright and probably isn't worthy of a scholly. That said if a high profile kid lets throw out Vandenberg for the sake of hypothetical land had done same thing...Would Ferentz do the same thing? I hope he would.

It's not even a hypothetical. He's done it before. DJK, Coker, Robinson come to mind.

 

[David79]

Ferentz didn't kick Coker off of the team.

Hope so.

 

[BLKNGOLD48]

I bet he stays, a lot of playing time just opened up in front of him

A lot has opened up at Iowa too. It will be a tough call, but I would want to start fresh.

I'd put DJK up there as high profile but when drugs gets involved the way that did it was a no brainer.
Wasn't Cokers leaving his own decision? Yea Ferentz did suspend him tho.
Robinson I'd agree with you is similar.

Or he could become a savior and a god at Penn State, going to be tough for sure, and why risk the curse of the Iowa Running back

Haven't you heard? The culture has changed in Happy Valley.

So, by my count, for the season opener we've got...

Barkley Hill
Damon Bullock
Andre Dawson
Michael Malloy (in a pinch?)
Brad Rogers

...as possible running backs, barring any transfers.

 

[NeilDiamond]

3 Headed Frosh Monster = Garmon, Hill, Lynch.

The last time we tried this in 2009 it worked out pretty well. Throw Malloy in there for good measure.

And Garmon. He won't be suspended.

 

[hawkfan2679]

And Garmon. He won't be suspended.

My mistake...for some reason I thought he would miss the opener.

Don't forget Garmon. We'll have 2 TR FR in the 3 deep to start the season.

 

[David79]

Im going to guess the first play from scrimmage this year is a pass.

 

[treychase]

Not sure why anyone would be surprised by this. The next player who returns to the team after being "suspended indefinitely from team activities" will be the first.

This.

 

[NeilDiamond]

Well, at least there is some serious potential with respect to the guys that will show up on Friday even if Lynch does not come. If any team has shown it can find a suitable RB its Iowa. Don't see why that would not be the case this year.

I am actually most curious about Dawson. Strange story with that guy.

He was waiting until he finished up Summer classes at PSU before announcing.

 

[HawkeyeGold]

Does anybody think hoiberg will court him for the basketball team?

 

[Bobandy]

but did he sneeze before being dismissed?

 

[DexterMorgan]

He was waiting until he finished up Summer classes at PSU before announcing.

exactly...rhetorical question. I think actually he's just waiting as long as possible. If he reports on Aug 6 I think he has to wait until next off seasno to transfer
