Re: Bates?

What are the chances of putting a redshirt of Davis next year to give him another year?

He redshirted last year.

I remembered that right after I posted the question, but didn't get the posted edited.

Re: Bates?

FWIW, Marty and Miller on KXNO in Des Moines said Bates can't throw the ball very good at all. He was throwing it way over their head, they said it was bad.

If that is true and Davis is as good as some say he is then I don't see how Bates could come to UNI and expect to play QB.

I was suprised UNI didn't offer the Peschong (?sp) kid from Marshalltown last year. He put up huge passing numbers and from everything I have heard he is a super nice, well grounded kid who did lots of volunteer/church activities.

Tyler Peschong (sp) was a GREAT qb, but he also had a very very good WR in Derek Williams to throw too. I was shocked that UNI didn't offer him as well. In fact, I'm shocked he ended up at a D2 school and didn't get anyother FCS looks. However, from what I've saw from Davis on the field, and HS clips, he has a lot of talent and throws the ball very well. He could be one of the best pure passers that UNI has seen, once he gets his shot

Re: Bates?

Anyone see the "interview" on WOIwith bates? He made Obama & McClain look forthcoming. He quits the team, but has not told HC Chizick face-to-face?

And does not have an idea where he wants to go, but wants to be a QB? Cart before the horse (at least publicly).

Thanks but not thanks.

BTW - Grace is leading the Valley in QB rating with 152.91. Sanders finished second (by 2 points) to SIU's Hill in 2007 with a 165.02.
