I like this kid's attitude. Interesting to see the coaches who are trying to flip him. Harbaugh, Bulimia, among others. He's holding strong with the Hawks. I hope he gets on the field next year for us. Can't wait to see him.

Not sure if they actually started, but Brandon Wegher, Marcus Coker, Akrum Wadley and I believe Adam Robinson. Although most were pressed into starting because of AIRBHG.
Desmond King. Mike Jones for the last half of '03 (injury related). Freddie Barr and Colin Cole during the initial rebuild. Dominique Douglas. Wegher (sort of). That's all that I can come up with off the top of my head. Bulaga played a lot in '07 on a really bad line.
Robinson had a redshirt year before he played. Coker doesn't really count as he only saw late season action due to A-Rob's injury. Only played in like 3 or 4 games. Wadley also had a redhsirt year and never actually started a game.

Bob Sanders started on special teams.. I remember the first punt coverage he was in on against KSU.. They had a stud PR.. He got there first,hit the kid and that kid didn't play the rest of the game. Its no wonder our defense was so good with him because he would erase the mistakes other players made.
True, mostly because he's going to Ann Arbor and probably going to switch.
Note that I don't want him to, and I hope he does start for us next year, but I think we lose this one.

What makes you say this? In the article he was adamant that he is a Hawkeye.
Sorry about that, I thought I linked this:

They were both seniors in 2005, so only one of those things can be true.

Hidgon's been offered by UM. Would you want to play for kfootball or Harbaugh? If this kid sticks with Iowa, kfootball better reward him with opportunity.

The odds definitely would lean to you being correct. But this kid sounded so sure, as if he already has his 4 years at Iowa mapped out. So, I am simply going to hold kfootball and staff accountable for getting this done. There is no more gray area for me with kfootball, having witnessed the past 5 seasons.

This is really disappointing. I don't mean to bash the kid, but after all he has said and done, why would he do this? Yeah, I know, its Michigan. If we have to go one on one with them over most recruits, we would likely lose. But this kid seemed so heavily committed, had his head on straight, and seemed to really love the Iowa Hawkeyes. If we lose this guy, I will really be disappointed and I don't usually whine around over one recruit or another. Of course, Iowa is desperately in need of running backs, so this is serious.
........and isn't it ironic that MI may get him on campus for an extra day due to weather. We can all hope but must remember he flipped once already.
The only RB in the class in a position of great need. I wonder if we might have told him early in the process that we wouldn't go after anymore RBs if he stuck with us?
