Bates Interested In Iowa

[superdorf]

Rivals.com College Football - Iowa State QB Bates will transfer

Bates said he also plans to inquire about quarterback situations at Kent State, Buffalo, Toledo, Western Michigan, Georgia Tech, Iowa, Michigan, Houston, Southern Miss, UAB, SMU, San Jose State and West Virginia.

Wow... Just wow.

[CYVADER]

haha!

I'd love to see him go to Iowa.

If he goes to a team that we play... we need to do with him at Jack Trice what we did with Adam Huluska in Hilton - Boo every second of the game he has the ball.

It'd be worth his transfering there just so we could do it

I predict this thread will explode rather quickly... two sore spots: Bates + Iowa =

[brianhos]

He would fit in well at GT.

Iowa would remind me too much of Haluska the traitor.

I hope he goes to Iowa. I can only imagine the bullseye he would be wearing when he comes back into Jack Trice.

On a side, note, I doubt he would beat out Stanzi.

[timc243]

So does that mean we would compare him in the look-a-like thread next to Haluska?

Not me. I think Bates would have been the best running QB ISU ever had (best combination of strength and speed) and he's also underrated as a passer. I definitely don't want to see him stick it to us later ala Adam Haluska.

He would fit in well at GT.

I understand he is a good student, so he could handle it there.
One thing though - Paul Johnson would not take any **** from Father Bates, so I don't know...

[TheHelgo]

honestly, what a tool. Sounds like the RB that left Iowa because he didn't win the starting job. Quit and find an easy starting job to win.

What makes you think Bates would have turned out better than Wallace ? Wallace could run like a scat back and had a cannon for an arm.

I didn't know that completing under 50% of your passes was considered good. So I would not consider him underrated as a passer.

With all the schools listed, makes me think that he had this planned out for a while. Should have QUIT before the season even began.

He is the wrong type of QB for Iowa. If he goes to Iowa, he will either have to change positions or sit on the bench. He is not going to Iowa.
