Why would he mention Kirk and Ken at all if he did not have great respect for them? He certainly could have skipped them and just credited coaches he had worked with more recently.

What is your point here?

There is a difference between players from Iowa staying home and players from other states. It is numbers. There are not enough slots on the major programs in most of the other states where we get recruits. Illinois is a good example. At the B1G level just NU and the Illini. Not all of the top...

NCAA student athlete have something like a 30-40 percent higher graduation rate than non-scholarship students. The graduation rate for Iowa football players is around 75%. The graduation rate for incoming freshmen is around 50%. They are not as dumb as you think.

No matter who wins or loses that game, Iowa most likely has to beat both of them and Michigan to make it to the conference championship game. It is pretty much the same thing for every team. you pretty much have to roll you division or you will be watching the championship game form home.

Gregory may say he has an offer and even believe he has an offer. We have seen similar situations where kids say something but are not correct in their assessment.

It would be nice to see more top talent coming from Wisconsin to Iowa instead of the other way around.

This is double secret stuff so don't tell anyone where you got it. Read line 7. Football recruit follows father’s path to Iowa | Hawk Central

One major thing I see in Fran that we have not had since Lute or Davis is that he has as history of being able to turn programs around. Alford did it to some extent in Missouri, but Lick started with a successful program at Butler and maintained it. From the looks of what their current coach is...

Do you mean the duo in Wichita?

Not having seen the show, my question is, "Which players sold them originally, and were the players still playing for OSU when they sold them?" If they were already done playing, no big deal. If they were current players when they sold them, then this sort of establishes a pattern that OSU may...

A lot of people were, but the slow style of play had many fans worried from the beginning. There was concern that Lick would not be able to attract athletic enough players that could compete at the highest level in the BIG TEN.

It is not illegal or unethical to tape record your own phone conversations. It is only illegal if neither party on the conversation knows it is being taped. Now asking leading questions to try and entrap a recruit is a very questionable thing to do. The bigger question though is, was Illinois...

Pearl taped calls with recruits, probably so he could remember what was said the next time he talked with them. When he told Bob Knight about the conversation with Thomas, Knight contacted the NCAA. The NCAA told Pearl they wanted the tapes and Pearl complied. The resulting investigation...

I wonder how the sales are going on his book of inspirational thoughts and ethical living?

If these kids had practiced harder and played a little better, they could have gotten in on the big Can Newton style money and not needed to resort to armed robbery.

I was sitting in the stands with a friend and as soon as they lined up we looked at each other and said "Fake!" It was so freaking obvious what was coming.

Linemen rarely get to be "household names" or have a lot of guys wearing their jerseys, but think of the Iowa guys who have had the franchise label stuck on them or made all pro or defensive player of the year. I'd say that Sanders, Clark, Kampman, Yanda and Wiegmann all continued to develop...

It sounds like Harrington could be a really good point guard at Iowa. At 6'0" and 170 he would not be a big pg or wide receiver in football, but his speed would make him a dangerous at either sport. Sounds like he could run a little track too in the off season. Cedar Falls smacks C.R. Xavier...

It seems strange that he only got an offer from SD State.
