Wadley seems to be doing pretty well:

Akrum Wadley/RB/Iowa: Wadley wowed scouts on hand Wednesday with his ability to make quick cuts and maintain speed when changing direction. His pass-catching ability has been extremely impressive, and he quickly transitions to picking up yardage after the catch. He's shifty in the hole and uses his lack of height to his advantage, staying behind his blocks until the last second before quickly cutting into the hole.

The only criticisms of Wadley I've seen this week are that he's tiny (duh) and extremely uninterested in even trying to pass block. The latter is a bit of a worry since his role is going to primarily be as a third down guy, but seems like he's generally doing well for himself and has made some money this week. There's definitely a place for a guy who can be that kind of weapon in the passing game.

Fant getting some nice recognition

Good article on Foster. He interviewed in '17.

They still don't say what position he is coaching.

Wadley had 8 carries for 38 yards at Senior Bowl. No receptions.

 

[Bob]

Foster will be either RB or TE which are probably the two easiest spots to coach so yeah ultimately it probably doesn't matter a ton. He's primarily there to recruit

Wadley had 8 carries for 38 yards at Senior Bowl. No receptions.

The game itself doesn't really matter much (though it'll probably help Josh Allen since they're begging for an excuse to love him), scouts care a lot more about the practices where he was really good by most accounts

edit: no need to be repetitive.

 

[nolookpass]

I fully expect Fant to leave for the NFL after next year

 

[hawkeyealum]

On his own or against his will?

 

[TJones3312]

On his own or against his will?

Both. He will have to when Ahmad Wagner takes his job.

 

[ChipHilton]

Agree. 2020 draft.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

@The Incredible Hawk got screwed

 

[eclone]

That’s a good dude right there!

 

[BuffettHawk]

Ryan Foley remains a twat.

 

[Herky823]

I read the image in the tweet. @HaloLawyers chime in here, but if the Ferentz's agree to start chipping in for the paved road, the turnabout, etc. could that not be used to force them into the HOA?

I am going to go find a Stinky post and give hom a like, you likethief you

None of that will matter if the judge rules the way he should and has all the neighbors' homes demolished and forces each plaintiff to do a walk of atonement down Melrose before the first home game next year.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

LOL I don’t know when, but Foley blocked me. I dont even recall responding to him in a long time.

Maybe he can send me a PM to explain why he’s such a hack pussy that he can’t take fair criticism of his own content. Or why he continues to operate under the guise of unbiased journalism.

Shit I even voted for Hillary.

I've never hated any of my neighbors as much as I hate Kirk's neighbors.

Apparently I've been blocked as well. What a pussy.

I thought he blocked me, but now I can see his shit again.

He's just terrible at his job.

 

[MikeyJoe]

You can tell that he sees himself as some sort of hard hitter that upsets Hawk fans because he's not afraid to tell the TRUTH.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I was not blocked as recently as 1/25. I havent interacted since.

Someone is finalize beginning to understand the depths of my power.

 

[MikeyJoe]

I'll be 100% honest, I did not know there was a player with this name on Iowa's roster.

 

[hawkeyealum]

I remember when they recruited him. I had no idea he was still around.

 

[Wanderer]

I'll be 100% honest, I did not know there was a player with this name on Iowa's roster.

You probably just knew him as the Prince of Haiti.

 

[Orestes]

Probably nothing to feel bad about, considering the stock photo used in the announcement came from a scrimmage.

 

[Geese]

Yeah I would have guessed he'd been gone a few years

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

I’m pissed to find out that he was still on the roster!

 

[Bob]

 

[Bob Sanders]

Smart move. The development of this talented young TE group is too important, both to the individuals and to the team, to leave it to a guy learning the position from scratch.

 

[Bob]

And Foster has way more experience coaching RBs than Brian. It's the most logical fit for both with their respective coaching histories

"While they may desire a moat between themselves and the outside world, the Ferentzes cannot appropriate the right-of-way easement, up to and into the Roadway surface — as their personal rampart," Tarr wrote in a filing.

Spoiler

Ferentz had been advised by his predecessor, the legendary football coach Hayden Fry, to live outside Iowa City and "build a moat."

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Where did Hayden live? Dr. Tom was obvious, but I have no idea on Hayden.

I just love that Hayden told him to build a moat.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I’m getting pretty fucking excited about the future of football. I think Kirk wants to go out on top. Im not thrilled about the idea of Brian being prematurely tagged as his successor but if he earns it it’s because Iowa had a great run on offense, which means that we were likely really fucking good. This final coaching slot is a sign to me that Kirk is paying attention to what is needed and he’s getting the right guys in the right chairs.

 

[mac50702]

Brian didn't need the offensive coordinator position to be HC. They could have given him some associate head coach position and it would have been great.
Hell, KF never called plays.
Fleck was never an OC nor was Dabo before he became head coach.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Please don’t use Fleck as an example of anything other than a dipshit douche. Thanks.
