RB Prospect Rodney Coe

[JonDMiller]

Forgot to mention this in the 'What I Saw' item.

I got to take in a bit of Rodney Coe...no, he wasn't doing a cone drill or anything like that, but I saw him a few times on the sideline before the game.

Goodness, he is one big kid. He is listed at 6-3/240. He is a giant, but he looks in shape.

Here is a link to his profile, and below are some videos. Iowa is in top four...along with Arkansas, Kansas and Kansas State.

No way we should lose this kid to Arkansas, Kansas, or Kansas State. NO WAY!

Fine and dandy, but how does he look on a moped?

All I want for Christmas is Rodney Coe in a Hawkeye jersey for the next 4 or 5 years.

He's a big boy.

[cynical & sarcastic]
Hopefully we can bring him in, burn his redshirt as a freshman, then sit him on the shelf for 6 weeks collecting dust even though we've only really got 1 other healthy running back to play the meat of our B10 schedule.

From what I understand Illinois one of his favorites, too.

 

[HaydensHawk]

D-End.

 

[hawkdoctor]

I'll let him play any position he wants except QB. I see a dominant LB but a damn good RB too.

 

[rjhindm]

For as big as he is, he does not seem to be a very powerful runner. I can LB out of his though. Could be a great player!

 

[big10fan]

wow, didn't realize he's that big!
you can never have too many RBs at Iowa.

 

[HawkeyeNTexas]

Everyone is going to forget about Gordon once Iowa lands this kid.

Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but don't be too surprised if Coe ends up at Arkansas. Teams in the BCS seem to hold a lot of sway over young players.
I hope it's not the case as I'd love to see him wearing the black and gold, but won't be shocked if he ends up in Fayetteville.

Here is a write-up on Coe's recruiting that states that Iowa is really pushing their running game on him and is going after him hard. "At this moment this appears to be Iowa's battle to lose."

Second coming of Nick Bell.

 

[big10fan]

he surely saw what we can do with a dominant back. people can say all they want about us not being a sexy team, but we can really pound the rock!

Just read on Twitter that Coe will have an in-home from Illinois tomorrow. Zook might make the trip.

Same guy on twitter (SWiltfong247) said:

Kansas Coach Turner Gill was going to make an in-home tonight with four-star RB Rodney Coe, but snow kept him from making the trip.
