New Linebacker? This is could be good...

[9YRPLAN]

I just heard that Elijah Hodge is going to play at UNI. he was a highly recruited LB from florida that picked wisconsin over iowa. he is the younger brother of all-conference iowa LB Abdul Hodge but never did a whole lot in Madison.

Any links on this? Could be a good addition especially since I don't recall seeing any news on Harris.

Do you think he could get his brother to sign my Alamo Bowl T-Shirt?

I heard that he got wasted before games with the band.

Bret Bielema also announced Tuesday that QB James Stallons, LB Elijah Hodge and WR Xavier Harris will not return to the program next season.

All three were reserve players, but Hodge was the starting linebacker as a sophomore, recording 67 tackles. Last season he was slowed by injuries and only appeared in 10 games, finishing with nine tackles. Hodge has one year of eligibility remaining, but Bielema said Hodge expects to graduate in May.

So according to that, they expect him to graduate this month (the article was posted in early March).

Besides, didn't they change the transfer rules a couple years back, requiring that players had to have more than 1 year of eligibility left? I believe Hodge was a Junior, but I don't know if he had used his redshirt year or not.

Yep. He redshirted. Thus, unless they changed a rule, this one has m baffled. I guess if he's graduated maybe there's an acception for the 2 year/drop down one level rule?

This would be GREAT news if true.

There might be something where he could enroll in graduate level courses or something. I dunno.

This could end up being really good news for us... It doesn't really mean anything but Harris walked at graduation this past weekend. I have a hunch he gone boyz.

I heard Gatens is going to replace him.

That's cute... considering you have no clue how close Matt really was to transfering I find this post really funny. Bash me all you want, I REALLY don't care.

If you didn't care you wouldn't post. Also, if you didn't care you wouldn't post "I don't care." I love tough message board banter!
