Auggie you're the first person I've seen on all three boards thats not impressed with the kid.
I would say thats enough evidence to come to the conclusion you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Jon I would say definitley top 5 of KF era. Which begs the question Jon, what would the top 5 of the KF era be?
Moeaki
Bulaga
Derby
Doering(yikes)
Richardson/ Keenan Daivs?

Fiedorowicz (sp) was a bigger recruit in my opinion. Bulaga as well. In my opinion.......and thats what this is about......opinion. Coe's commitment is obviously a big positive.
I disagreed to some extent with the OP.
In the threads where there is a difference of opinion I usually learn more about why people think the way they do.
I don't know.....maybe your right about the pessimism thing. I am probably more inclined to jump in a thread when I read something I differ with. Whatever, I don't enjoy reading this site any less than you do.
Come on, you are putting words in my posts that aren't there. Never said I wasn't impressed, I disagreed with the extent to which Jon touted the kid. I read the national boards and subscribe to a newsletter or two and if you read these things you see that there are some divergent opinions on Coe.
I have to agree with you. Norwalk is a bit of a mystery. Always a negative but still enough positive to be ok. Coe is a beast and will be a major gamer for the Hawks. His analyst of Coe is personal and sould not be taken as fact. Every school that has recruited him says he is the real deal and Norwalk says he isn't. I'm thinking maybe lets go with the people that know and let Norwalk sit on his porch and rule the world.

CJ was a great get, but our top 3 tight ends didn't transfer right before he committed, which is the case with Coe and our rb's (pending a-rob).
Like Jon said, an important thing to keep in mind is who was recruiting him... which was every school in the country. And you could say, well Benddontbreak, the alabamas and oregons recruited him early but stopped... or they recruited him at a different position or what have you. But you gotta realize most guys have committed by now and everyone has their classes pretty much booked because its getting fairly late in the recruiting process.
Blake Larsen?? OUCH!!

Coe looks like a John Clay type runner.....if Iowa adds another smaller back to compliment his size......

"Not dogging the guy. Just a little more skeptical than you. I prefer McCall. And his lack of a committment tonight is...well....not what I thought would happen.
Whats wrong with me being critical? I know somehing about H.S. football in Coe's neck of the woods and I'm not as sold on the guy. There is a lot of talk on the board about him tonight, as there should be, and I'm participating.
If McCall commits I'll have a different tone."
The above bolded comment from you and particularly the underlined part sure sounds like you aren't impressed with the kid.

Over the top.
That said, the kid does have talent. And, more importantly, he's a very good fit for our system.
For those who berate Coe, in his defense, he was dinged for much of the year and that made a significant impact with regard to his performance on the field. Lastly, he really didn't play on a terribly good team.
However, all that said, his high school squad also has a pretty intriguing DL prospect that Iowa already has an offer out to. Hopefully Coe is an added "lure."

i wonder what your friend would say about his ability at LB? I watched his first highlight video (great choice for music, btw) and my impression after watching was that over half the video was him on defense. makes you wonder if the offer list he had was for rb or for lb?

Many, in fact, liked him as an ATH ... where they probably projected him at LB first.
Of course, folks also projected John Clay similarly. I think that the Sweatervest would have had a better shot landing Clay had tOSU not gone so hard after him at LB first.

LOL! Lemming's consultant role strongly influences who gets the nod for the Army AA game. The fact that the guys is a Army AA really matters little.
How the kid's play translates to the college game is ALL that matters. I have high hopes ... but measured expectations.
All I know is that Iowa NEEDS a boost in depth at RB ... Coe could give us that.
And, FWIW, I've been high on BOTH Coe and Gordon from the get-go. I'm very pleased that Iowa landed Coe (fingers crossed that he signs come signing day) ... however, Iowa also lost a LEGIT talent in Gordon.

Iowa regularly gets commitments from pretty highly touted RBs ... Albert Young, Fred Russell (a Michigan commit before having to go the prep-school route), Jason Ford, Melvin Gordon, and Dale Martin. The problem is that not every guy ends up signing on the dotted line. Furthermore, injuries sometimes interfer with on-the-field production (like Albert Young).
The bigger issue is whether or not landing Coe helps us when it comes to recruiting momentum ...
