    Running back targets before signing day?

    I don't have a problem when these kids change their mind. There is no pen to paper commitment and coaches can do the same to them. Is there anyone out here who thinks ISU should stop talking to players when they commit to other schools? Should Rhoads should tell Cousins " I way you to come...

    Et tu Barkley? And Ishmail? - Hill to Iowa

    I don't think this is an indictment on his character. I think he just decided that Iowa was a better fit for him and that is probably right. It stinks that it is so late in the process, but it is probably the recruit we can most afford to lose. Hopefully we replace him but even if we don't it...

    Kelechi & Leonard at Senior Bowl

    I agree but it is important that in the one on one drills the offense has the advantage in the passing and the defense in the rush drill. So both guys were in drills that are built against them. LJ looked good in 1 on 1. Fluid hips and good back pedal. The higher rated Nebraska cb looked like...

    Also on topic, I would like not to have any more defections.

    So.. with Signing Day only a few weeks away...

    I actually disagree with the idea that those TE prove that TE are less important. Those receivers excel because they are big strong guys who run routes designed to exploit their skill set. Instead I think the TE position is more important than ever because you need players who can block ok and...

    Young talent a reason for offensive optimism in 2012

    I am pretty sure this is the first time Wally's name as been credited with the analysis about Nealy. I believe it started as an opinion, then a trust us a coach said it, and now Wally said it. Speaking strictly for myself, I tend to believe statements that have a name attached more than...

    Young talent a reason for offensive optimism in 2012

    It is probably unfair to take statistics about fumbling and then talk about rushing statistics and other "less tangible" parts of the game. It appears that those statistics were put together in response to the believe that jantz fumbled more than barnett. Clearly that isn't the case. It is...

    Young talent a reason for offensive optimism in 2012

    More prolific than Troy Davis? Strictly from a statistical stand point that would be fantastic.

    ***Official Pinstripe Bowl Prediction Thread***

    I am concerned a bit that this might be the right storm to get picked off by RU. Away game, coach who clearly does well in bowls, in a big city where maybe this week of practice isn't great because of all the distractions. I still like ISU but 20-17.

    Herman Gone? Some possible replacements

    Re:***Offensive Coordinator Search Thread*** I think Fitch, kingsbury, Anderson, and frost all look like good candidates. My only question about frost and finch are their recruiting areas. Fitch seems to be Fla and Oregon seems to have their coaches recruit their positions, I guess that's what...

    Charlie Weis to KU?

    I don't like the hire for KU and love it for Iowa state. I don't think a guy whose beat talent is recruiting is a good fit there. It is one thing to bring guys into Norte dame. But he isn't going to get the same level of talent as he used to. That means he is going to coach them to improve...

    Gary Simon

    When I was in 2nd grade I got 3 stickers on my spelling test. However, I did go to a really good pre-school so I probably had an advantage.

    Sean Culkin

    Hopefully he decides to come to NYC so he can see us both play. And by both I mean us and by play I mean win.

    FOOTBALL RECRUITING: JUCO DB to visit this weekend

    Not that it would ever be enforced, but isn't tweeting a recruit a NCAA minor violation. I seem to remember seeing another school's compliance twitter reminding fans and students not to tweet recruits.

    ***OFFICAL: I BOOKED MY TRIP THREAD***

    We are in. Taking the amtrak from DC and staying at the Hilton in midtown. NYC is super easy to get around in. I would def. suggest buying a pass for the subway rather than paying each time. I love New York is great and I can't wait to get back.

    George Wine

    I am just saying this makes the polls credibility slip, not that they should take votes. I fine it harder to take them serious about being a group of "experts" when I see this ranking.

    George Wine

    The people (Rick Wright, Jeff Van Note, Craig Morton, Scott Johnson, Bob Wagner, Derrick Mayes, George Wine) have completely undermined the Harris poll as legitimate. And by extension the BCS. I don't even have a problem with the people who put Stanford 3. I don't agree but it's not an awful...
