Hear about Coach Farley?

[OH BABY! I luv this team!]

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

Farley gave his recruiting class a B+ (he said he was being hard on them too).

Said UNI is under a hiring freeze, and b/c of that, they are working through things to get the positions occupied by Frost and Montgomery solidified. He said he has people he wants to fill them, but is unable to do so currently. Some he has wanted to get the job have since gone elsewhere due to the freeze.

Said there was discussions with Michigan. Probably not as much from Michigan as has been led on to believe. Said if we want to start playing multiple 1-A schools (yes, he still uses the nomenclature) , that we should go 1-A...which is not going to happen.

Said BJ Ray is probably the most intriguing prospect in this class. Several of the recruits are going to have a chance to play next year. Says they are still looking for a QB. Are in on two QB recruits still out there. Said that one of the KC linemen athletes ended up getting a last minute offer from K-State, but turned it down. Said that we had two verbal commits in the QB class. One went to Oregon. The other to Ohio (I believe it was the kid from Oklahoma).

Said that Dannen is looking at getting new turf, but due to the fact it has to be picked up and stored, it's made things a little more difficult (or particular to the Dome's needs) to get. Funding is also a concern. Said that locker room and weight room were funded mostly by 'friends of UNI football'.

I can't think of anything else at this time. Others feel free to add more.

Well done as usual PTTB!! Did also say that spring football starts March 31 with spring game set for 1pm in the UNI Dome on April 25.
Also said there may be a D-1 FBS guy or two make UNI his home next season but couldn't elaborate on that!

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

I really am interested to know how the recruiting rules affect the relationship with Coach and Jake when it comes to talking about colleges.

If I remember the recruiting rule correctly.....when you are a Division 1 head coach and it comes to recruitment of a sibling there are no rules or restrictions as far as talking to him about colleges or the team his dad coaches but he would be under the same guidelines as other athletes as far as official on campus visits and contact with other coaches on the staff. There would just be no way of controling or monitoring how much a dad talked to his son about playing for him. You have to believe that alot of Jake's football IQ has come from talking football with the all american walk on linebacker from Waukon! Lets hope he wants to follow in his dads footsteps!

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

Great idea and I am going to look into this. Also have been wanting to get a website of my own started and was wondering could I put a podcast on that? Anyone out there want to help me launch or know someone who can help me get onpressrow.com on the world wide web, private message me!!

OH BABY! if you want to podcast there are some pretty simple ways to do it. I know my future mother-in-law had to take a class for her continuing ed for her teaching certificate and took pod-casting at NU through UNI. I would see if you would be able to get into that. There are some pretty simple steps to it apparently. Here is a link I found a while back on it. I hope it helps. http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-11293_7-6246557-1.html

That is great information. Thanks for the answer Sports Guy.

I know that at some institutions of higher learning if your parent works there you attend for free. Is that the case at UNI, and if so would it apply here?

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

State schools do not let family members attend free. Private schools, like Wartburg, do.

UNI does have the Heritage Scholarship though I believe.
