C N Red Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I don't think we're making a serious play at Noah. NSIS......Is it serious when your HC takes over recruiting him?? 1 Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I don't think we're making a serious play at Noah. LOL......Of course we're recruiting him. But it's pretty hard when the recruit already has his mind made up. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Visiting Minnesota Jan. 29. Probably not going to visit here but says we're still in the mix. He really likes Iowa because they wanted him at TE all along while others were recruiting him at DE first. He doesn't think he'll be able to bulk up enough to be an every-down B1G DE and would be more of a pass-rush specialist. Quote Link to comment

Wonder if he realizes those pass rush specialists make more money in the nfl than regular DEs. Quote Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Giving you a "bump" Mr. Fant. I still have you penciled in as a TE for the BIG !! Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Hughes screwed the pooch early with this one, particularly with his parents. I would say let this one go. TE is not a major need right now anyway. What we need is this staff to focus on the two lines. Quote Link to comment

ADS Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 i wouldn't put that on Hughes. We were recruiting him as a DE like other schools outside of Iowa. Only when he actually said something about not wanting to be a DE is when Riley started recruiting him on his own, iirc. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yeah, too bad Riley didn't know early he wanted to be a TE, this could have been wrapped up months ago. Quote Link to comment

So Hughes was sent to Fant to recruit him as a DE when it turns out the kid wanted to play TE instead and Hughes screwed the pooch? I mean, I know people on here grouse about Hughes being weak at recruiting but it seems odd to lay it all down at his feet. Quote Link to comment
Mike Mcdee Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 It's been stated several times that from the very beginning this recruit and the process to get him was botched. I think there is blame to go around on both this staff and the previous. I'm pretty disappointed that we can't keep the top recruits in our state, but we did get some of the top recruits from other states. My problem is that with some with instate kids, sometimes, they come with their own internal motivation to be great and we are missing out on them (DeLuca, Stick, Urzendowski, Phillips, Lewis, Ott). Instate kids can also come with added pressure too so it cuts both ways. Best of luck Mr. Fant in all except against Nebraska. Quote Link to comment

He said from the start if someone would have returned his call in the first month of the hire when he was trying to make contact he would have been a Husker. Quote Link to comment
