Nice recall!!! I think Kelly went to Emporia St.? He's my uncle's homeboy and I've seen his ring, it's pretty cool.

In the article, Bofelli's mother is quoted, saying that her son is looking at both ISU and eiu. Conor is going to revisit ISU. A decision has not been made, she says.

Well, it helps when you're from the same home town and said home town is pop. 150. Emporia State is right. I think Kelly lives in KC now. Saw him tailgating before a game there on TV. I saw his old man at the bar a few nights ago, should have asked him.

Did you watch the same game I did? After completely dominating the DE for over 3 quarters, and having the Valley RB's go to his side for big yardage the other team had to move their nose guard on him for the 4th quarter. That didn't seem to help much either though as they continued to run to Boffeli's side.

He is a dominating run-blocking TE that would be a great center in my opinion. Simply put, there was not a tight-side DE in 4A this year that matched up with Conor in the run game.

I would love to see him in a Cyclone uniform.

He could move his feet and push people backwards, unlike his highly rated teammate that just locked up on someone and leaned on them.

I try to keep to myself most of the time, but people need to understand how good Conor is. He was a tremendous get for us and I'm hopeful that in his discussions with Coach Rhoads, he sees what I see - a fantastic coach and person that I was honored to be around in my time at ISU.

Please don't. Your insights and opinions are much appreciated.

Only we never get the 5th best player from Texas we dont even get the 10th best TE from Texas. Most Texas players come here after Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Okie St, LSU, Arizona, Arizona St, Missouri, Kansas and now Baylor & Rice don't offer. Mostly we fight with SMU, UTEP, North Texas, Wyoming, New Mexico St and New Mexico for the leftovers. If saying we don't need Boffeli makes you feel better OK, but if you really think we don't need Boffeli or players like him from Iowa you are flat out wrong. I don't usually come right out and call some one wrong. Maybe you were being sarcastic if you were I am sorry. But some people out there believe that.

I think his injury is shoulder related that may have a greater impact on his baseball future if it is his throwing arm.

I think I remember Tim VanGelder played quarterback and pitched for the Cyclones in the mid-60's (if anyone can remember anything from the sixties).

I'm not going to get upset with any of our recruits who verballed for Chizik if they decide to re-think their decision. I would hope that they would give Coach Rhoads first shot to plead his case. If thats not good enough then best of luck. These are 17 and 18 year old kids(not men) we're talking about...

**desertbound** · 12-30-2008, 11:11 PM

I agree. We need players at ISU who WANT TO BE AT ISU. If this kid decides that there's a better place for him, then let's wish him good luck - even at Iowa. And like the previous note said, he's an 18 year old kid! Cut him some slack. And let's go get the next kid.
