Phil Steele thinks

[quote=wsrgohawks;2995554]Morris played hurt pretty much all year last year and still tied for the team lead in tackles. You are going to see a completely different player with him this year. Every NFL scouting website I have seen says Morris is pretty much a lock to be a top 100 pick in the draft. Iowa has an incredibly SLOW linebacking corps, and with the amount of teams in the B1G that have switched to a more spread offense it should be a group that costs the team games
FIFY

The entire linebacking group is slow as a whole, all I needed to see was Shontrelle, Steele and James White consistently getting to the outside in the only Iowa game I cared to watch last year. Carry on being a loser, loser.

I usually think Steele is pretty knowledgeable, but this is crazy. Knott, Klein and myself should be ranked higher than that :shocked:

Yeah, and Jake Knott has not played injured for the past 2 seasons???? I think this ranking is complete BS.... With 2 should be all-Americans there is really no comparison here.....

It's a little more difficult to move on a bad ankle than with a bad shoulder.

If you want to think that, go ahead. No one is stopping you. I can guarantee you you'll be singing a different tune in about a month, though.

Even if Morris is a different player, I would still take ISU's LBs. No offense to iowa's guys. I also would very much doubt Morris is a top 100 pick...because I would bet that neither Knott or Klein are. Then again, iowa players seem to get the benefit of the doubt in the draft where ISU's don't.

From NEpatriotsdraft.com

If Morris stays for his senior season, I think he’ll end up being a lock top 100 pick.

Wasn't that the same source that said LJ was 3rd-4th round pick last year after the OSU game?

Oh you were? I didn't realize that! Durrr i's just a dumb cy-clown.

You've only made about 6 posts in this thread thumping your chest about your boner for morris and how awesome he's going to be now that he's healthy. Because he's the only guy in D1 last year that played with an injury.

Just go **** yourself squawk troll. Go crawl back under your rock and stay there.

Morris < (Knott || Klein)/10

We have plenty of good, legitimate Hawk fans who stop by and provide realistic observations of both teams. Not sure why we still feel the need to give this guy the time of day. One on hand though, he did provide this unforgettable gem:

With other teams offering Iowa recruits, it is simply because Iowa just offered them. I have seen several mentions in articles (from Lemming and other analysts) that once Iowa offers, other schools take notice and decide to offer too.

I stand by that quote. I may have worded it wrongly, but the concept is the same. If you don't think that Iowa offering a lightly-recruited recruit early in the process causes other BCS schools to (re)evaluate their tape then you're an idiot.

Right, and in 1942 there was mild tension between the US and Japan.
