Ferentz going after PSU players

[FCAS]

Illinois should just go ahead and set up a booth in the PSU student union.

Correct, it would not stop them from playing somewhere else AFTER this season. I was thinking more along the line of a lower level player who might assume he would not play early in the schedule and thus would have longer to make a decision to leave and finish the season somewhere else (if he could find an open spot). Meaning, that if he played in the first game he could conceivably never play another down for Penn St. and still not be eligible to play midseason at another school. That's taking a chance for sure.

I think we'll see just as many leave after this season as we see leave before this season. With the short time frame, I think a lot of them will take a "wait and see" stance. If the team doesn't perform and the future continues to look bleak (recruiting and such), I could see more leave before spring semester starts.

I guess we'll see.
On another note. I hope the Illini get smacked around on the field by Penn State this year. They deserve it for sending 6 coaches to Not-so-Happy Valley.

+1. On more transfers at end of year if things don't go well and +1 on Illinois getting smacked around.

Akeel Lynch

Just to remind.

I don't see why everyone is so crazy for Akeel Lynch. There are already two freshman running backs and Garmon was ranked more highly than Lynch. If it was an experience back I would be more excited to possibly get him because that is really what they need.

 

[bhawkn30]

I can't imagine why any of them would stay

If AIRBHG takes Garmon what do we have? We need depth at RB and talented depth. I for one am not huge on Johnson, and Bullock is pretty decent but the more the merrier imo. Who knows who will be the next victim.

^ Iowa can never have too many RBs with a vengeful deity hanging around lol

That's true, now even our running back's houses are trying to get them in trouble.

I'm not saying that I'm crazy about him. I think most people figure he's the guy, or one of the guys, that KF is going after because we have history in recruiting with him. This would give the hawks more help and competition, which is always good. I'd like to see Anthony Zettel (sp) come this way, DL that has history with Iowa as well.
