Re: Douglas
Yes. The register has 3 players from Iowa transferring.

Re: Douglas
Sorry, credit card fraud in IA isn't on the front pages on the news in Nor Cal, we have a body count odometer instead.
Back to the topic, it looks as Douglas has another court date to deal with yet, per the Press Citizen
Do we need another WR? I though we are stocked at that position. Change him over to a DB, and then I would Hawk him (pun intended).
Looking at that article, if UNI was able to take all of the Iowa players that got into trouble this year, it would be a short recruiting season.Comment

Re: Douglas
why is this always the automatic reaction from people? drives me nuts & makes UNI look bad.Comment

Re: Douglas
you realize that FBS transfers comprise a significant % of FCS players, right? it doesnt make UNI look any worse than other schools.
Douglas will likely end up at Rutgers.Comment

Re: Douglas
What part of it drives you nuts, the Iowa castoffs with problems going to UNI, or that we think that UNI will have the bead on the person because they are leaving Iowa? Or something else, just wondering?Originally posted by Mudrafan View PostComment

Re: Douglas
Define "Significant Percentage" please, we had 7 FBS transfers on our roster this year. Bergmann, Black, and Fiacco were all reserves. Whitney Lewis was a reserve who played some, Terrell Allen played more before his injury, Everette Pedescleaux was a rotational player, which leaves Brandon Keith as the only starter who was an FBS transfer. It's not like we are Delaware looking for starters from the FBS ranks, most of ours are homegrown.Originally posted by 9YRPLAN View PostComment

Re: Douglas
fbs transfers do not comprise a significant part of fcs rosters...including at uni so not sure where you got that. he is going to rutgers. i'm only saying it looks bad because whenever an iowa, isu or other midwest fbs school has a kid leave...people jump up & say this. it's almost like uni is considered a refuge for the troubled. i just think it gives uni a bad image. we have taken a few but it comes off as the roster is built w/ them & that's not true.Comment

Re: Douglas
i thought our insistence on throwing to whitney lewis really hurt us against delaware. he never got in shape & should not have been on the field IMOComment

Re: Douglas
I agree - we do not need to become the Boys State Training School. However, when you need speed, you are going to have to get the scraps that Big 11 Big 12 and SEC leave on the table.Originally posted by Mudrafan View Post
The balancing act is the key. Hartzell & Farley have done a good job of being out in front of problems (see Parsons). That, or they are exceptions in burying the issues, which I do not think is the case. CF is too small a town for that to take place on a regular basis.Comment

Re: Douglas
i would bet that the majority of FCS schools have at least one starter that transferred from an FBS school. you say we had 7 on the roster so that is more than 10% of our scholarships. I am not going to look it up.Comment

Re: Douglas
Definitely - No more Hawks!!!! I could see it if it was a local kid looking for more playing time or someone who wanted to transfer because of a coaching change, but what UNI does not need are players who were let go or left a program for disciplinary reasons. Especially ones that leave a bigger program and come to a "smaller" program with a huge chip on their shoulder - not saying this specifically about Douglas.It's about time we make the McLeod LOUD!Comment

Re: Douglas
It seemed to work out with Benny Sapp. Maybe he was the exception?Comment
