2008 Football Recruiting

[wartknight]

Ben Cotton got offered by Iowa.

[kurimski]

Is he still committed to ISU? I wouldn't be suprised if he went to Iowa or somewhere else though since his dad isn't around any longer.

[Goclones1727]

No he has de-committed but still has interest in ISU

[Wesley]

The more the merrier. We still have lots of job openings. We even need one more coach.Jordan Scoggins went North Texas on us so maybe Alex Cook is coming our way. Looks like the outstanding tribute oif these 1 to 4 star recruits is speed. Even the linemen do 5.0 or less.

I believe i saw Ben Cotton sitting in Cyclone Alley last sat at the Kstate game. At least it was a tall, decently built kid in an AMes high letter jacket. Ive seen him in person before, but id bet it was him.
Hopefully he doesnt take it personally about his father being let go. He has a lot of relationships here im sure, maybe he hopes to continue them in a cyclone uniform.
Youd have to think GC and co would have interest since hes one of the top returning players in Iowa.

Oh come on now. The kid's dad got let go! It might be different if he was already playing for the team. If I was him, I would be looking elsewhere and it would be a cold day in *&^# before I went to the school that did that to my dad.

[dinger]

if i was him i would change my last name...his dad is a horrible coach

[benjay]

Apparently at 18 years old, he is already a better man than you. Proud day for your parents.

[dinger]

is that you barney? it would make since you arent busy at 11am on a week day since you are unemployed.

[ljs6756]

If Ben is smart he would stay and i would have to agree with dinger7203 he was not a very good coach..

[dinger]

thanks ljs...the name change may be drastic but at least YOU got the point i was making. im not just refering to his time in ames either. he sucked at nebr too...i was not happy when they got him from solichs staff.

[benjay]

I understood your point and even agree with you. just didn't see any reason to rip his son.

Especially since as of now he is the top recruit in the state for next year.

[Wesley]

I hope Ben plays for the Cyclones. The team needs all the help it can get.
