  • Robinson, Hampton, Wegher

    Do either of the three end up in Purple next year? I'm not a big Hawk fan, but these three are all solid running backs with a combination of speed and strength that we desperately needed this season. Robinson is obviously still at Iowa, and I would assume will be a Hawkeye next year, but that probably depends on what team rule he broke... Hampton is the most likely in my opinion, as he has two years of eligibility and has used up his redshirt. Discuss.

    No on hampton coming off two ACLs but I'd take wegher in a second.

      The rumor is Wegher is home sick, and I doubt he will play FCS ball anywhere but one of the Dakota schools.

        Wegher will end up in Red and White in Vermillion, SD next year....with an outside chance at playing for the Bunnies.

        Hampton and Robinson - no.

          arob will be back in iowa city, but i would take him in CF as well, even if we do not have a pressing need at RB

            Yeah any of these backs could help our program. Robinson would be the best for us. Hampton and Wegher would be nice too.

            Wegher will be at a South Dakota school. Robinson sounds to be staying at Iowa, and Hampton has as many ACL injuries as J Collins. I wouldn't mind Hampton and he is the only guy that would could be thinking about here as of now. He could be going back home somewhere towards Indiana.

                I hope not we are good at running back. I would take their QB vandenberg though. Just sayin

                  Where will they be playing next year????

                  Robinson - Iowa, if he gets through the summer without getting arrested
                  Hampton - Somewhere East of Iowa, I would bet another MVFC school closer to "home"
                  Wegher - Likely USD with and outside shot of SDSU.

                  I see all of them looking for playing time, and they will probably get it somewhere. They wouldn't want to complete with what we have in our stable.

                    Hampton is from Indiana. ISU(b)/SIU?

                      this is my biggest pet peeve. Why is this brought up like clockwork any time an Iowa player leaves? You do realize that Hampton is from Indiana. When players transfer, many times...it is to be closer to home. Also, he has had two reconstructive knee surgeries. Beyond that, we are very deep at running back. In terms of Wegher, he's likely moving back home to the Dakota schools...if he even decides to play football again. Robinson makes the least since as he has had two concussions. Beyond that, he was offered a scholarship out of high school to UNI. He took it & then switched to Iowa at the last minute leaving us holding the bag. You think he would be welcomed back after that? No thanks.

                          UNI's (well B.S.') offense needs a between the tackles runner; we do not have a proven between the tackles running back. Carlos is not a grind it out runner. All three of the Iowa RBs have the ability to run up the middle as well as outside. I have a hard time buying that UNI is "very deep at running back" at the present time as we only return one proven player. Not advocating for any of the 3 from Iowa, but I disagree with this particular reason against any of them.

                            there are over 350 division I football schools in this country. If one leaves Iowa, why is it automatically brought up every time? For one, many times it's a player from out of state so they are likely to go back home.

                              I wouldn't want to see either Robinson or Hampton in Cedar Falls.

                              Wegher...undecided. I'd want to know more about why he really left Iowa before I weighed in on that one.
