Rutgers doing a solid job of closing on kids after Schiano leaving.
I’m guessing hiring within helps.

So basically we're waiting on Curry, who seems to be a Nebby lean?
And that’s it for the excitement today, barring any huge surprises?

This might be a long day, only made longer by calling teenagers names because they didn’t choose Iowa, so let’s not do that.
Perhaps my best years are gone... but I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back.

Thank you for this by the way
These are 18 year olds making what is probably to date the single biggest decision of their lives. It is completely natural for them to struggle with it. Losing your shit because some kid doesn’t want to play sports for the school you root for is just silly.

Kozan not listed on hawkeyereport.com
Kozan is not listed under commitments on hawkeyereport.com. What’s going on?
I may love the Steelers, but I live and die by my Hawkeyes.
One of their admins posted
That they have to get word from coach/player/parent about the commitment before they’ll list it. That hasn’t happened yet. I remember seeing a few sbnation sites reporting it, and possibly a newspaper. But since none of the above have said he’s committed, they won’t list it.

Delany wants the $
Rutgers is getting to be a fairly popular program and it brings in East Coast money.
I may love the Steelers, but I live and die by my Hawkeyes.
Actually, Rutgers (it was revealed by Matt Hinton I believe) is one of the biggest money losers in all of college football
and it’s athletic department is not self-sufficient. They pay for football with student fees. I am surprised by this because their attendance is rising but apparently they get no donor money. So, if all this is accurately reported, Delany probably wouldn’t stand in a lunch line with anyone from Rutgers.
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
Does Rutgers have a pretty large enrollment?
It would be easier to charge every student a $50 fee if you have a ton of students, compared to if you are a smaller school and charge every student $100+ (I think that’s roughly what UNI did when I went there).
We will become more intensity!!! --What Reading Rambler thinks Tom Brands should do.
by WaterlooChazz on Feb 1, 2012 8:22 AM CST up reply actions
Universities charging students fees is a major problem
from an accounting standpoint. Yes, it’s a large school but it’s an admission of failure to charge every student a fee for football. Only about 20% even care for it and the fee entitles them to nothing, other than having a football program that loses money. You charge students fees for things they need and all use.
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
Ah.
Only about 20% even care for it and the fee entitles them to nothing, other than having a football program that loses money.
I guess the fee I paid at UNI could be more accurately described as an “athletics fee”, and we did get “free” tickets to most UNI home games. I enjoyed it most when UNI got good after they moved to the McLeod Center. I only made use of it a few times for UNI football games (as I was going to Hawkeye games more often then).

No 5 star.
As much as I am happy that we brought a lot of good players this year, I would like to see one 5 star, just one. And don’t tell me it’s location. Lincoln, State College and Madison are not hotbeds of excitement. Whomever we bring as D-Coordinator should be a recruiting stud.

There are a only a fairly small handful of 5* propsects each year
Even the very best recruiting schools only get two or three a year. None of those teams you mentioned have signed one this year either, and we’re very competitive with them in terms of 4*s (which is a very good rating), depending on what happens with Kozan. It’s a good class.
Location is a big limitation on our recruiting, but so is the school’s history and brand value. We’re fairly comparable to Wisconsin (who is not out-recruiting us) in that regard, but we’re pretty far from Penn State (the only real super power in the entire Northeast) or Nebraska.
Also in-state recruits
Wisco has a lot bigger pool of in state talent so they are more likely to get a 5 star out of that. Nebraska is the true outlier in that regard but they have a pretty glorious history to sell. Otherwise your traditional 5 star grabbers are from states that tend to produce a bunch of five stars
"If you need a rah-rah speech at halftime, you’re playing the wrong sport." - Pat Angerer
Maybe a little, but Wisconsin isn't exactly a recruiting hotbed either
But, again, they’re also not pulling in 5* kids either. Like us, their strength is in scouting and player development (especially up front), not recruiting.
Dienhart just posted that OSU/UM have combined for 5 5* recruits
The rest of the B1G = 0
So Lincoln, State College and Madison aren’t doing that much better than us (at least this year).

Are we recruiting Blood Bath Kornbrath more as a punter or a kicker?
A baseball park is the one place where a man's wife doesn't mind his getting excited over somebody else's curves
Punter, right?
Isn’t that gray shirt Aussie supposed to be the new kicker?
I may love the Steelers, but I live and die by my Hawkeyes.
The Aussie is Johnny Mullings and is on scholarship and is a punter.
He’s got a big foot but supposedly takes too long to punt the ball – something about coming from rugby. One would think that in rugby you’re always so rushed it wouldn’t be an issue, but actually (having played rugby), you don’t kick unless you have the room, and you’re almost always running. Starting from a standstill would be a tough adjustment for a non-flyhalf.
meh
Definitely a punter from everything I've read.
But he’s got a big leg so he will have a legitimate chance at being the kick-off specialist.

Have we ever actually done that?
Generally speaking punters stick to punting here. Donahue had a huge leg and was a highly regarded kicker coming out, and they quickly shot down any talk of him doing both.
It seems like
when we have a good punter, we keep him there, because we can always get a kicker out of high school. I say this because a kid at my high school (older than me) kicked (mostly kick-offs) for the Hawks in the mid-to-late 90s.

I can confirm this
We had an assistant coach time me at 4.34 when I was a freshman—in high school. There’s a margin of error to human timing a 40 yard dash of ~0.5 seconds, and of course all the players and coaches just take the best time the kid puts up (which is half a second low) and then round down to make him more attractive because that’s in all of their best interests. And heck, I still choose to believe I was that fast in high school :-)
Only ever trust a machine-clocked 40 yard dash, which will only ever happen at the NFL combine. High school track times are the only meaningful speed indicators.
I thought the Combine used guys with stop watches?

2 if you count Raymon leaving (a bit of a stretch). That's pretty hypothetical, but it would be nice to have not lost him.

He just had a kid and the kid's mom is in PA...
this appears to have nothing to do with Coach K.

Good to know.
Thought I remembered him saying (though it was more likely speculation) that if he knew K was leaving, it might have been different.
BORK BORK BORK
He was quoted in a Decembeer article to such effect.
But that also might be a wee bit of revisionist history on his part, too.
There has there has been a lot of rumbling to that effect from other players too
I’m inclined to think that it probably played a role. I think he was a good coach but by most accounts Rick was not an easy guy to deal with
Might have been a case where a different coach had a different effect
on that situation. Other coaches might have found ways to support Raymon in IC. Maybe not, too. But if you have things pulling you away, and don’t get a good reason to stay/vibe from your position coach, it makes your choice easy.

He's been to two conference finals with teams that overachieved to get there
that means something to me.
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
He's usually had a couple decent-to-good RBs, too.
I don’t really expect Sanchez to win a ton of games with his arm.
His first two years were not very impressive, but also not awful for a young QB.
His stats have improved each year.
And, it appears the Jets are a locker-room (and organizational?) mess.
I’m not impressed with him, but he also hasn’t earned a demotion, IMO.

No QB had less time in the pocket than Mark Sanchez
the whole offense was predicated on a serious running game, which never really existed. I love SG, but there are 15 or so RBs that are better than him in the NFL. Tebow would have won 2 games for the Jets last year in that offense.

During our scrimmage even before my freshman school year started....
…there was a drive-by about two blocks away at about 5 in the afternoon.
Two years later, there was a car backfiring during practice. Mickey Joseph (former Nebraska QB) was an assistant coach, and he sprinted towards the school, hurdled over the fence (normal yard height) with no hands, leaped from the bottom bleacher to the top (about 8 rows – it was a practice/JV field), and into our school in what would probably have been a 3.87 40-yard dash.

Obviously, I only saw his highlight tape, but I really like everything about him. His release point is a little low, but everything else seems really good.

Also (and this is waaaay too much speculation)...
…but in talking to scout.com, his dad said something like, “it’s probably a pipe dream, but he wants to play in the NFL, and he thinks Iowa is his best shot of that”. To me, that means he has goals and aspirations but probably not an inflated sense of ego. i.e. he works hard.

Schiano and his staff did a really really good job on selling local kids on the idea of staying home
That was probably his biggest achievement as a coach there. Seems like the message has stuck. It also probably helps that they retained a fairly large portion of his staff, so there was still some continuity and familiarity for them.
It seems like a backup for a lot of kids who dream of PSU
To them Rutgers is probably second best if they want to stay in the Northeast. Or Rutgers recruits with visits to NYC where you stay in a five star hotel, meet starlets and bang an expensive call girl. One of the two.
Rutgers has three pitches that they use
1) we put guys into the NFL and in upper rounds (which is true and a big time HS player will buy into the notion that Rutgers will not degrade his talent)
2) you’re mamma will see you play
3) we are a Top 50 research institution and your degree will mean a lot if you get it
That’s it. It loses more than it wins but as mentioned above, lots of talent in the state and a lot of the players that Rutgers gets is from the more urban areas and those kids couldn’t find Ohio on a map and many have literally never been to NYC which is all of 17 miles away from Newark.
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
1) we put guys into the NFL and in upper rounds (which is true
Not quite sure about that – since 2000, they’ve had 7 guys taken in the first 4 rounds of the draft.
"There are few things graven in stone, except that you have to squat or you're a pussy." -Mark Rippetoe
That would --- would it not -- be guys, no?
Schiano didn’t turn that program around until 2005, and since then they have 6 guys taken in the first three rounds. Whereas, in that same time Penn State has 13, so they’re in the ballpark. More importantly they have 13 guys active in the NFL and Penn State has like 24. They are not destroying talent that comes their way.

are going to regret that move. The SEC thought everybody was going to jump to 16 teams, they were wrong.

"If you need a rah-rah speech at halftime, you’re playing the wrong sport." - Pat Angerer
I know the BigTen rejected them.
I’m referring to the belief that they’ll regret their choice to go to the SEC and be a doormat.
I still think they should have hung in with the Big 12 till it imploded.
That seems like a pretty terrible idea
They probably will struggle on the field with the transition, at least initially, but the SEC is the premier football conference in the country and they’re going to be bringing in way more TV money than Mizzou is now. You jump at that chance. If someone else grabs that spot and then the Big 12 falls apart, suddenly they’re either hoping for the Big Ten to expand or again or that they can catch on with, like, the Big East or some shit.
Yeah, I think this. The Big 12 is a fucking mess. ESPN can’t sell the Longhorn Network for shit right now, A&M is gonzo, TTech is heading back to irrelevancy, I think OSU is going to be a shooting football star as soon as Gundy leaves. Mizzou was lucky the SEC wanted them, and they’ll be happy with their teevee $.
Or, they might become the Indiana of SEC football.
But, they will have cash.

Buford whenever he signs
I could see them moving Lile to WR now.
well,he had'nt signed so i was just trying not to count chickens or something
Also, about Lile, it was interesting that the GoHawks site listed him as an athlete and showed exclusively (I think) offensive highlights.

How many does Iowa have to offer?
I count 23 signed including Reid, Moss and 2 JUCO’s. B1G rules only allow 25 or up to 28 but with good reasoning. Could they apply any to last year’s number?
2 JUCOs could apply to last year
as they are signed and (we think) are enrolled this semester.
They say you're a pitcher, you're sure not much of a dresser. We wear caps and sleeves on this level, son.
I believe they've been confirmed enrolled,
I thought they would be put to last year’s numbers since so many left and they are still in the academic year. Just wondering. so that would be 21, still hope for Kozan then.
Yes I believe this is correct

Of all the offensive things I thought I'd get called out for
I never thought it would be for using the word “tranny.” Apologies, I’ll use “transvestite” from now on.
I wasn't necessarily calling you out, just giving a heads up
Just from my interactions with trans people I know they find it derogatory or dehumanizing, so I try to avoid it. Not saying a word certainly does not hurt me any, and if getting rid of it makes a group that already has a hard enough time feel a little less persecuted then all the better.
Also, transsexuals and transvestites are not the same thing.
Transsexual vs Transvestite
Aren’t they mutually exclusive? Don’t you have to be one sex to dress as another (Transvestite)? A transsexual is by definition of both sexes in some way, so cross dressing is both impossible and what they do all the time.
Yeah pretty much
Transsexual is someone who psychologically feels like one gender but is biologically the other. They may engage in what would traditionally be called cross-dressing, but in their case it’s just dressing according to the norms of the gender they most identify with.
Both sets of organs
would be a hermaphrodite.
"If you need a rah-rah speech at halftime, you’re playing the wrong sport." - Pat Angerer

He's a straight man that sometimes dresses in women's clothing.
Dress to Kill is his most famous show, and generally the best introductory hour for his comedy. Sexie is hilarious, too. I’ve got all of his DVDs and would recommend them all. He’s not putting out much new stand-up now because he seems to have decided to pursue a job in politics.

There has to be some reason for that
Maybe he’s talked with the coaches and plans to transfer eventually.
I think he probably just meant to say that he was going to school in the state of Iowa, but maybe
As far as I know we were not previously recruiting him, and I’d seen rumors of academic issues, so this makes a lot more sense
Does Ellsworth have a good rep or something?

Colorado is an interesting state and yet I think most of America that is well beyond it's borders think it is

I sense that Colorado, which I learned last night has the fewest number of votes separating the candidates of the last 4 or 5 presidential elections, is a state of extremes to a degree that is very unlike most of the Midwest (Minnesota—home of the most recognized cults in the US being excluded of course). In other words, unless he goes to school in Colorado he is going to need to adjust.

One of my step-cousins (if that's such a thing)

He told a story that the very first question they asked during a class-wide orientation was “How many of you are Democrats?” Less than 5% of hands went up, and to his recollection only 2 of those guys were there for year 2.

Where are you getting that Iowa is completely out of it?
Everything I’m seeing suggests that he doesn’t know where he’s going, and that he’s back down to his original Top 3 (with Iowa/Auburn likely leading in some order).
I've no confirmation that he's out. I simply said that it's probably safe to assume that he's going elsewhere.
He’d already verballed to Iowa and then he backed out. Seems to me that if Iowa were still the leader he would have gone with his initial gut-feeling and stuck with his verbal. Since he didn’t, it suggests to me that he’s no longer excited about playing at Iowa and is trying to decide which of the other 2 schools he’d rather attend.
If he ends up signing with Iowa, then great, but I don’t expect it to happen.

I don't know that we're the leader, we're just still in the running

I was kind of disappointed in them
Loved the Iowa one (admittedly it’s not a huge change). The only others I really liked were the Illinois and OSU
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
The Iowa one was fine, although I prefer a black base with a gold tigerhawk.
Illinois’ was pretty eye-catching.
MSU’s was dumb. PSU’s looked like what I imagine theirs would look like if they ever changed from the all-white lid.
jNW’s could have been nerdier only if they put a stack of books or a diploma on the side.

Didn't MSU already wear that helmet this year?
The game where they pretended their colors were green and gold?
Minnesota’s and Wisconsin’s were pretty laughable.
I gasped when I saw the Indiana one. The Nebraska one got a big eye roll. Pretty sure you’d have to have separate helmets for the offense.
I really like Michigan’s.
My brother made the same crack about the Nebraska ones.
