Get the ink dry on his paperwork and fit him for a helmet and let's go

I think we need a board-wide prayer. Fervent-like.

Is this their payback for "stealing" Eno Benjamin?

 

[RobHowe]

We kind of have to connect the dots here, I think. Not sure he's able to say yet that he's committed to Iowa but from what he's telling us, it's pretty much done. He still is at Arizona State and needs to graduate, which might be keeping him from saying he's committed.

Two words: Johnny. Mullins.

Two words: Johnny. Mullins.

Did Johnny Mullins have three seasons of college punting under his belt when he came here? Did he average 43.8 yards per punt as a junior in college?

Asking for a friend.

 

[Motigerhawk]

What, no boosters kid need a spot on the team?

Hope he works out.

 

[HawkleberryFinn]

This was the only film the coaches had on Mullins. He just couldn't handle the snap!

Punting and running the football were are two biggest weaknesses last year. We are going to have to improve in both of those areas to make up for losses elsewhere.

This would be a very solid pickup.

I have been to east and west coast of Australia. Beautiful place. Plane time to get there and back is a long long time. The people are fantastic. Was there for work and some were fixated on how people in the middle of the US deal with all the tornadoes. I just laughed and said they are not that common and you don't see one a week. By tv coverage they see one might think that. They also though the tv show Dukes of Hazzard was cool. I was like yeah not reality.

 

[RobHowe]

It's just about a done deal. There are some hoops to go through (paperwork, etc.) for graduate transfers.

It took a couple of years, but Eno finally recruited someone to Iowa.

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

 

[uihawk82]

the young man seems like he has his wits about him as far as expectations, what he wants and what he wants to experience and aim for. i would be very happy for him and the program if it all works out

 

[Motigerhawk]

He can punt with either foot. Cool.

Averaged 43.8. Good deal.

19 inside the 20 and 10 over 50 yards, plus 20 fair catches.

Guy sounds pretty good.

 

[skinnykilmer17]

Hold on. Slow down. Did we clear this with Uncle Bruce?

 

[GesterHawk]

NICE!!

Two words: Johnny. Mullins.

So one transfer doesn't work out...therefore all don't. Right.
