Re: Mass exodus at Iowa?
Sounds like he is sick from his quote in the article. I wonder what is wrong. I feel sorry for the kid. He should go to Minnesota state and win a D-II national championship with davis.Originally posted by 9YRPLAN View PostComment

Clinton Mann also at the bottom of the article - was that already known?Comment

Re: Mass exodus at Iowa?
He had a number of illnesses and injuries this year, I really feel for the kid. Rumor is he was asked to redshirt next season to get bigger and didn't want to go that route. I'm guessing there will be more transfers before it's all said and done as well.Originally posted by williebat View PostComment

2 out the 4 good recruits they had are now gone. Depending on why MANN is leaving seems like he might make a nice addition to the panthers.Comment

Re: Mass exodus at Iowa?
When Clinton Mann left ISU got a JUCO immediately. That kid is already better than Mann so that shouldn't hurt. Eikmeier can really shoot the ball, but it sounds like he feels he isn't good enough to compete at that level from his quotes?
Looking at ISU and Iowa, ISU has gotten the better recruits, but a lot of them haven't stuck around. If Wesley Johnson was there and healthy this year I think ISU would probably have been an NCAA Tournament team. That would have been a good 1-2 punch with him and Brackins. This is a big year for Mac so hopefully Brackins comes back for another year for his sack.
Iowa's situation is odd as well. Lickliter seemed to basically push Freeman out the door because he wouldn't play his style. Which basically put the ball in Peterson's hands, now he's gone too. There has to be more to the story. I can see Davis leaving because of playing time, I can even see Jake if he really does want to be closer to his dad. But Jeff Peterson makes no sense to me. He isn't even that good, there is no way he would get as many minutes as he's getting on any other "BCS Conference" team. I don't get why he would want to transfer to a smaller school with his PT at Iowa. These players must really dislike Lickliter or something?Comment

Re: Mass exodus at Iowa?
He wants more playing time. After sitting out next year during Egleseder and Koch's senoir years there is definetly an opportunity to earn some solid playing time by that next year. We have some guys redshirting this year but aren't really bringing in any true post players. I wouldn't be opposed to having him in the purple in gold. But I don't think he is looking at us.Originally posted by williebat View PostComment

do you know where Mann is looking? he seems like a good fit in CFComment

Re: Mass exodus at Iowa?
I'd be wary of Mann. I just don't think he's athletic enough, tall enough, or skilled enough to be successful. He was originally offered both by Creighton and Iowa, will be interesting to see if they get in on him.Originally posted by 9YRPLAN View PostComment

Re: Mass exodus at Iowa?
None of the Iowa State guys will come to UNI as I believe it's ISU policy to not grant releases of scholarships to schools on upcoming schedules within that sport.
Regardless, UNI needs to upgrade athleticism in the 3-5 positions. I'm not sure Eikmeier or Mann (or Creekmur) meet those wants. If UNI is going to bring in a transfer, I would like to see a 3/4 slasher type. UNI could use some depth in the post, but I would rather keep the post positions open so that UNI could offer alot of playing time opportunities to HS post players in the 2010 class.The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.Comment
