Gone Baby Gone: Jewel Hampton Transferring
by Patrick Vint on Dec 12, 2010 10:53 PM CST
in Iowa Hawkeyes News
Email
PrintThe next domino falls: Jewel Hampton is leaving, per his Facebook page (if it's good enough for Morehouse and Hlas, it's good enough for us). Hampton entered Iowa has an unheralded halfback from Indianapolis, but quickly assumed the spot behind Shonn Greene and racked up 463 yards rushing and another 530 in kickoff returns. He was the de facto starter entering 2009, but blew out his ACL in late July and missed the year; in his absence, Adam Robinson and Brandon Wegher gained ground, giving Iowa three potential sophomore starting halfbacks. Hampton was cited over the offseason after a downtown bar fight, earning him a one-game suspension and losing him the starting position against Iowa State. The next week in the desert, after sharing carries with Robinson, Hampton's other ACL exploded and ended a second consecutive season prematurely.
Again, the rumors surrounding his decision are just that, and we won't speculate as to his reasons. We feel like he's giving up even more than Wegher, though. Where Wegher's departure was the inevitable byproduct of whatever tripped in his head or his life, Hampton was walking a road previously walked by halfbacks like Albert Young. There was something to fix there, and while it would be difficult work getting another knee back to 100% just for the chance to play two more years with Robinson and Coker, it was at least doable and worthwhile if done right. It appears to be all for naught, as it is.

Super secret theory
KOK is next and Mike Leach is the new OC, we’re goin’ FIVE WIDE BALLS DEEP BABY!!!
If that is the case...
then we will be using a lot of our seemingly dozens of TEs as WRs soon.
I don’t think this Hampton thing is a done deal yet, at all. Morehouse and Hlas are usually right more often than not, but I need a little more evidence than 5 words on a facebook entry that don’t include “I’m transferring.”
And I really don’t think A-Rob is leaving. What other BCS-level program would he be a #1 RB at this point in his career? Maybe ISU, maybe not?

MSU and WISC both have a slew of running backs
and the last I checked, they play with only one ball too. Yet they all seem to hang around.
Wondering why our RBs get happy feet?
Perhaps the notion that we are a featured RB “system” might be contributing? Watching, again, Ferentz drag his feet on Coker, when other coaches instead say things like, “We go with the hot hand” and we certainly don’t, or else Coker would have played more against Ohio State.
Although, a lot of bad injuries and misfortune have really beat up that position to the point it is almost comical.

You are not saying...
that Coker’s lack of playing time is playing into Hampton and A-Rob’s possible transfers, are you?
I would think they would be happy that they have and probably will get the first shot for the rest of their (healthy) Hawkeye careers.

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I've left plenty of jobs on good terms
And in the coaching world, I would think your superiors would understand that if you want to move up, you have to move out. Because that’s what they did.
While on the subject, reading through some Burnt Orange Nation stuff, they can’t decide if they are pissed Muschamp left or happy because he was actually a terrible DC. Or maybe they are mad that their Head Coach In Waiting took off or they are happy that Florida gets to break in somebody with no HC experience.
"If you need a rah-rah speech at halftime, you’re playing the wrong sport." - Pat Angerer
There is an awful lot
of self-delusion rationalization going on in the Texas sphere. Friday night, before it was announced and only rumored that Muschamp was leaving, the same fans at Burnt Orange Nation were busy convincing themselves that Muschamp would NEVER leave. After all, why would he? Texas was a far better job than Florida and Muschamp had been promised the job at some indeterminate point in the future, probably, assuming they didn’t change their minds!

So much for me as the next Nostradamus
I was 110% sure Mullen would end up at Miami. Shows you how little I know. Nice to see Malzhan’s career as a HC will be over before it starts.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
The threshold for success at Vandy is pretty damn low, though.
If he can win 6-7 games there he may be able to land a better gig.
Also, if Vandy is paying Malzahn $3M/year (reportedly) and Arkansas is hooking Petrino up with an $18M buyout, Ferentz’s contract no longer seems strange at all.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
True
But winning 6-7 games at Vandy has proved to be incredibly elusive. More often than not, Vandy is the job that a career assistant at a lesser SEC school or another school in the region gets late in his career as a final chance to be a head coach, only to basically be another in the long line of unsuccessful Vandy coaches. As hot as Malzahn is right now, I would be surprised if he went there, if for no other reason than there are plenty of places where he would only need to be as mildly successful and would have a much easier time of doing it.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
If Malzahn is going to Vandy, and it definitely seems that he is
It’s for the opportunity to get “Head coach” on his resume and for a nice pay bump. As Ross stated, he doesn’t have to set the world on fire. If he gets Vandy to consecutive bowl games, there’s a good chance he’ll got an opportunity elsewhere. Look at Fitz, he’s consistently considered a darkhorse for other, better, jobs.
We have to remember, Malzahn was a HS head coach just 5 years ago. He’s climbing the ladder in a hurry. Why wait if a school is going to open the checkbook for $3M a year?
by The Mexican't on Dec 13, 2010 9:50 AM CST up reply actions
Agreed
And I think that’s exactly what Malzahn is thinking. I also think, however, that getting to a bowl game, let alone consecutive games, at Vandy is a much taller order than a lot of people think (including Malzahn). IF he does it, then Malzahn can punch his ticket to a much better job, but that’s a big IF.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I understand.
But I thought Miss. State was a similarly no hope job (especially in that beartrap of a division), and then Mullen went out and won 8 games this year. So hey. I’m willing to give Malzahn the benefit of the doubt for now.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Miss State is erratic
and a historic underachiever, but nowhere near the level of hopelessness that Vandy is (for no other reason than MSU is more than willing to cheat). Vandy has the misfortune of being an academic jNW in a conference where every other school doesn’t even to pretend to care about the academics of their football teams.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Moot point now.
Apparently Gus is staying put at Vandy — or at least waiting for a better job to open up.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Staying put at Rambler's mom's house is what I really meant.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Yeah, but who isn't?
I swear, her place is lousy with random dudes just sitting around, waiting their turn right now.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
It's certainly no guarantee.
But with SEC non-conference scheduling what it is, it shouldn’t be too hard to schedule 3-4 non-conference wins (assuming he can get some decent players to Vandy) and the SEC East appears to be in utter turmoil right now so the prospect of stealing 2-3 wins there doesn’t seem as daunting as it would have back when programs like Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee were humming.
I agree that it’s kind of curious he didn’t hold out for a job where it would be easier to win, but I guess he really wants to scratch that HC itch right damn now — especially if Vandy is ponying up $3M/year.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"

Jewel failed his 3rd drug test and has been kicked off the team.
A-Rob, Ballard, Binns and others have all failed a drug test as well. Kirk will announce what players are suspended for the Bowl Game at the end of the week.
They have a 3 strike policy, so as long as the other guys clean up before the next test, they should be fine.
Wow. What a bunch of retards.
I’m probably most angry about Ballard. I thought he was better than that.

depends on how much you smoke
I passed a drug test about 9 days after getting high as hell, because that was the only time I had done it in about a year.

Depending on what test they use they can test a lot further back
I think I remember reading about a test that used hair and they could find drug use 3 months back.
They can find stuff in professional cyclists even though that crowd is probably more fanatical about trying to stay ahead of the testing geeks when they’re cheating with chemicals…

You'll notice, however,
that his sentiment/thought applies equally to both sides. Sure, if you’re a pot head, you’ll tend to associate with more pot heads leading you to conclude that most of your fellow students are as well. Conversely, if you’re against the stuff and convinced “only criminals and losers” are getting high, you’ll tend to believe a much higher percentage of those around you are 100% clean and sober. Neither is a good conclusion to jump to.

Presumably, if there was a three-strike policy, and we haven't heard about it, and we've known the reasons when players were out for a game,
then strikes one and two don’t equal 1-game suspension.
by The Final Gun on Dec 13, 2010 12:35 AM CST up reply actions
Or
it could be:
Strike 1 – laps/internal punishment
Strike 2 – game (or more) suspension – would be under the “violation of team rules” rubric
Strike 3 – your bags are packed and you’re ready to go…you’re leaving, on a jet plane, don’t ever come back again.

Let's develop an IowApocolypse drinking game:
1) Take a drink every time Hlas posts an unsubstantiated rumor and then cajoles someone in the comments section for posting an unsubstantiated rumor.
It's only wrong if YOU do it
otherwise, it’s called being “an investigative journalist”. That being said, I appreciate Hlas at least sharing rumors he thinks have a high degree of probability rather than just burying them than making cryptic remarks about them much later. As much as I like Morehouse, he will make a comment on his blog about “knowing” something that isn’t out in the public domain and using that to explain a situation, while not divulging what that information/rumor is. My thought is, if you’re unwilling to share the rumor you than cannot use your knowledge of it to steer the conversation or cast aspersions.

I bet he graduated in the last three years or so, or was unfortunate enough to be laid off
Legal market was already going south a bit around 2007. Bottom fell out later on, many firms weren’t hiring (our summer program numbers dropped probably 80% or more from the high point), and a lot of corporations only hire people with at least a few years of experience. And there was a glut of those people available after the layoffs during the down economy. Friends who had been laid off mentioned they’d apply for a job and they’d be one of a hundred-plus applying. And people I knew who were laid off didn’t really do anything wrong. Lots of people couldn’t make their hours, and I’m still not sure how they figured out who to ax.

Otherwise we will run that guy until concussed and then we will play you, but when you prove effective we will throw incompletions 3 straight downs especially if we are getting close to the end zone.

Thus, opening the door for Coe.

to find that in fact it may have been the sound of distant shoes dropping that woke me up. If so, caring is no longer creepy. We got any RBs verbally recruited yet?
Just as my disappointment was waning long enough to decide to drive the full 8-10 miles to the bowl game.
In the context of competitive sports, "quit" is the most profane of all four-letter words.
No RBs as of right now
So that’s looking really good for us. Gordon decommitted, Campbell out of Florida is projected as a DB. Some rumors that we’re #1 on Coe’s list though (from message boards other than immediately above this one, so you know it’s full of truthiness!). But whatever, it’s not like we need a ton of RBs, nothing ever happens to ours.

oh, derrr.
yeah,t hat’s what I was thinking. Maybe he’s just keeping suspense up for Wegher. It wouldn’t be the first time someone on Facebook said something offbeat about a friend on Facebook.
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
And maybe what Robinson said is what Wegher said he was going to do when he trasnferred and had to sit out.
Although, that part doesn’t sound as likely.

The ARob comment makes little sense to me either way...
whether it’s Jewel commenting on Wegher or Jewel saying he’s gone. And I guess it’s conceivable that ARob misunderstands Jewel’s comment as well.
What is increasing clear to me is that contemporary athletes make decisions about transfer that seem less about the sport and more about lifestyle/personal issues. It is VERY rare that a transfer flourishes at his new school to a greater degree than he might have at his original school. WIth one exception…quarterback. If Jewel leaves he better go down a notch in terms of program profile. I also have written him off as relevant to the position. Coker is clearly going to get stronger and smarter and he’s physically built for what Ferentz likes to do. You have to assume young, fresh blood will come into the picture next year and the year after as well.
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
In the caring is creepy dept... yes, Iowa is still recruiting RB's.
And really, IF they still healthy, Robinson and Coker are almost plenty to work on a regular basis. Of course, they won’t stay healthy, but all you really need is another RB to start one or two games and playing in blowouts. A good recruit (that Rawls kid: 5’10", 210 lbs, 4.5 40) would be nice.

Re: Jewel's transfer options...
I can’t imagine schools are beating down the door to sign a running back with back-to-back ACL surgeries to both knees and whose only success came as a back-up running back. I like Jewel and I wish him well, but there were certainly gigantic question marks hovering around the extent he was going to be able to contribute to things going forward.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
bingo
that’s the cruel truth and I am beginning to think that of all the skill positions RB is the one that is easiest to find a “serviceable” player. Obviously we want more than that, but the sky is not falling if Jewel does not return. And as much as I love the guy and hope his head is on straight, or ARob for that matter.

Jewel, A-Rob, and Wegher would all be missed because they're experienced.
And that’s certainly handy to have around, especially when it comes to blocking (which could be even more important next year with a new QB). But I agree that running backs are far and away the easiest position on the field to replace. If Ferentz can get over his phobia about playing freshman running backs (and we sign a few more to supplement Coker and Johnson, which is a must — and lord knows we can sell the hell out of playing time right now) and actually use them, we may still be OK in the running game.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Yeah, and besides, I think the running game is much more than just the guy carrying the ball
it is the line, balance, etc. I watch the Jets and they have all the individual tools to be a strong running team, but their QB is such a non-concern for DCs that they’ve just focused on taking it away. I think our running game has taken a hit because a) our line play has been inconsistent, b) our RBs are not game breakers right now, c) our passing game does not strike fear into the heart, and d) play calling.
The running game needs more than 5 plays attached to it.
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
Our offensive model needs to be Wisconsin.
They do everything we want to do and (most years) they do it better than we do. I don’t think they have significant talent advantages over Iowa on offense most years (this year they definitely had a few advantages like a senior-laden and talented OL and a game-breaker at TE like Kendricks), although they seem to have much better luck keeping their RBs healthy and/or out of disciplinary trouble and/or not transferring away.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Wasn't their OL also twice the size of ours?
How does that happen? Is Iowa recruiting smaller guys or is Doyle just having a harder time filling out their frames?
by The Mexican't on Dec 13, 2010 10:15 AM CST up reply actions
Our guys don't eat enough cheese curds.
I think schematically we prefer slightly smaller, quicker OL to the massive beef-eaters that Wisco seems to cultivate (unless you can get a dude who’s huge AND really skilled, like Gallery), so that’s part of it. And then this year we had a lot of younger guys and they had a lot of older guys, so that’s another part of it. I would think our younger linemen should be adding a bit more weight in the next few years.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
It's a few things
Wisconsin repeatedly has monsters along the line, generally 6-5 and above. I think they basically just like to get massive boys and stick them on the line, but they tend to not be particularly mobile (Joe Thomas aside). Our OL, due to the zone blocking scheme, need to be able to move quite a bit more, and therefore aren’t usually quite as big, especially along the interior.

Its all about run schemes
Iowa runs, for the most part, a zone scheme which requires a lot more lateral movement. This requires more athletic lineman, making it very rare for Iowa to be able to land one with elite size and speed.
Wisconsin on the other hand is a power run team, allowing them to simply recruit the biggest people and just have them go strait ahead
This
I always have to laugh when I watch Florida because when Emmanuel Moody transferred from USC he called it a “business decision” because they had so many backs there (McKnight, Stafon Johnson, Allen Bradford, CJ Gable, Marc Tyler), and yet he’s getting probably even less playing time now than he would if he had stayed.

Testing positive for weed should surprise no one
It is tried by nearly everyone in college, especially rowdy football players.
Also for the sake of rumors, it has been said that the Indiana football team is especially bad with it and that there are many who smoke all the time, including in between practices during camp….
I read that Fitzgerald is a major pot head
and Rich Rod is a glue sniffer.
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
Some players failing a test for pot
wouldn’t be a very big deal. To me anyway.
Cocaine and prescription drugs are another issue. Plenty of guys on the team are on pain killers prescribed by team doctors, becase that’s the nature of BCS football, but the team is supposed to be keeping track of all that. If guys are going outside of the system to get those drugs or worse, selling them, then it’s a real problem.
"If you need a rah-rah speech at halftime, you’re playing the wrong sport." - Pat Angerer
I guess I feel differently, having lived in California for a while
Where pot use is, if not widely accepted – since the Prop to basically legalize it failed – tolerated to a point, I see far too many people indulging in the weed and it has nothing but negative effects on their life. For every person that you hear “oh, tokes, they’re a doctor, head of a corp, they’re cool” you see 10 losers who can barely make it to work (if they are working) and keep their lives together.
Getting a medical OK for medical pot is a joke too. There are actually places locally where you go in and TELECONFERENCE with a doctor that’s in SoCal (I live in Sacramento), who just looks at you and gives you the OK to buy medicinal pot. One of my GFs friends does this. Did the doctor examine her and her BF? Nope. They’re 50something long-term stoners who now can get a bag for $150 and sit on his inherited horse property up north of town and um, do nothing with their lives. That’s cool if they want to do that, but they’re always complaining about being broke, but they always have money (and time) to get stoned.
Yeah, I tried it a few times at Iowa, as a student, and figured out pretty quickly that alcohol will pretty much do the same things pot does, legally, and you don’t end up stinking up a room or your clothes with the reek of weed, either.
Drugs and alcohol can be used for recreational purposes, but, as I’ve gotten older (yeah, I’m one of those middle aged 50 year old guys that’s out of touch with the rest of society), I see more people using substances to avoid dealing with personal issues rather than using them to have a good time.
Bottom line is, we are basically paying these kids, via room, board, and a scholarship, to play football for Iowa and to generate revenue. That means that they are to show up for their “work” on time and follow all of the rules, and those rules should include – if they don’t already – staying out of trouble with the law and not partaking in illegal substances that there is no question impacts their ability to represent the University of Iowa as football players.
And, BTW, I’m all for having the teachers, employees of the school, and the football staff pee in the cup too. In my job, I can be subjected – as I’m an employee of a sub-administration of the USDOT – to drug testing at any time. I’ve never been tested during my 15+ year career, but I can be at any time, and it simply is not worth it to fuck up your life and then have to go through all the unfucking process that goes with drugs.

Jewel’s transfer may have absolutely nothing to do with DJK’s situation. Everything said above is conjecture. CL Rucker was a convicted prisoner released and on the playing field within 48 hours. The situations are not the same.
And even if Jewel did break the law, how is his leaving the program anywhere near the same thing as Dantonio allowing a player take the field the same week he was released from jail?

Well, assuming that any of the rumors are true, drug testing is probably going to become a regular feature of Iowa football
Which is sad. But I know someone that struggles with drug use, is 31 and can’t hold down a full-time job or even teach and who has a BA and MFA in music performance and a very talented guitarist. He started smoking a lot of weed in college and its pushed him into borderline schizophrenia.
Drugs and excessive alcohol use are, in general, bad. I’ve know several college athletes and few players off of Iowa teams in the past, and you really can’t perform on game day or even manage to stay in school if you’ve got substance abuse issues, and a lot of this 7-5 season could be explained by substance abuse issues.
While realizing that the coaches cannot put tracking bracelets on the players when they’re not in practice, a game, or attending class, I think the real question that’s nagging behind all of this is whether the coaching staff knew during the season how much drug use was going on (this is assuming that it is as rampant as may be inferred from the rumors… or we are being trolled well here on BHGH :-p) and whether they ignored it as long as long as we were winning, or, tried to hide it and hoped it wouldn’t surface.
Because if they knew about it from the top down, and hid it, in my mind I don’t see how Ferentz survives once this is all out in the open. Drug testing after pictures emerge on computers might be a smart, self-protective move for the program, but its not going to help save Ferentz if its obvious that he has lost positive control over the program.

This reflects solely on one man – KF. Even if all of this is bullshit it doesn’t erase the fact that DJK was a drug dealer, and he can’t keep half of his players on the roster for more than two years. We wonder why guys have been bolting for the pros ealry, because shit is fucked up in Iowa City.

Right.
It’s not because they were a 23-year old running back (Greene), or a projected top-20 draft pick (Bulaga), or a new father wanting to provide for his family (Spievey). Guys leave early for the pros for a few reasons but the biggest is MONEY.

RIGHT
money to buy all the DRUGS that KF was selling!! Why can’t you see the truth Ross?!?!?!?
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I can't see the truth because I'm high as a motherfucking kite.
Duh.

Easy there
DJK, to my knowledge was not a drug dealer and KF keeps well more than half of his players on the team for more than 2 years. also, bolting early to the pro’s likely has nothing to do with opportunities to make millions and is likely the result of KF leading a terrible organization… Calm down and think.

I spent half my life's earnings on wine, women & song. The other half I wasted.

Put your footy pajamas back on
and drink more kool aid. 3 grand, lots of drugs found, and charged with running a drug house sounds pretty damning. Obviously its all about the money for the guys going pro, but look at the last five years and this kind of crap is the trend not the exception.

If the prosecutors had evidence he was dealing drugs they'd charge him.

"All these guys going to the NFL"
You mean like Bulaga, Greene, Spievey, and Clark? Wow, 4 guys in 11 years. They are just flocking to the NFL.

Well, im off to turn in a paper
Stupid finals week.
Hopefully this all doesnt blow up by the time i get back. I can just see us leading sportscenter at this rate.
If anyone's interested
I started a new thread specifically for live-blogging the press release here. This thread was getting a little slow on load times and thought it might be nice to have a clean slate to start on.

All this is making me feel like pooop
I think I’m going to head over to Burnt Orange Nation. At least there the pain isn’t my own.
