Is Iowa really going to miss Shonn Greene?

**Racer68** · 01-19-2009, 04:28 PM

Has anyone seen the stats on future Hawk Brandon Wegher? What's everyone's thoughts...

3238 total rushing yards (8.94 ypc)
4.28 sec. 40 speed

Had quite a few offers from BCS schools, the biggest appearing to be Penn State...loaded mostly with Big 10 and Big 12 schools.

who cares. find an iowa board

**hobbsfan27** · 01-19-2009, 04:30 PM

Yeah leave us alone!

the 4.28 is not legit... i can guarantee you that. it will also take a miracle for anyone to win the job over Hampton.

....that being said. get this Hawk garbage off CF

The short answer is yes, Iowa will definitely miss Greene. I watched the Heelan kid play in the state championship, and he is no Greene. He will never be as good as Greene. However, he is very athletic and hard-nosed and will end up being a solid player.

Hawk Homer/troll. See ya.

Wegher will end up being a good player whether it is at RB, WR, or safety.

His 4.28 speed is LOL. There is a 0% chance he runs a 4.28

Agreed. Not to downgrade the kid at all, but he doesn't possess the size and power that Shonn Green has... that may change over time, but he won't be a Shonn Green. The job belongs to Hampton.

Penn State and a few others wanted him to play Safety. One of the reasons that he chose EIU, if I recall, is that they were willing to let him try a hand at RB.

I think that EIU is hoping for a Tim Dwight type guy, but he's not even close.

I miss him already.

A 1st year former Iowa High school player replacing the Doak Walker winner and future 1st round pick?????

**Wesley** · 01-19-2009, 04:41 PM

Shonn was valuable like Troy Davis was to us. They are hard to replace.

**intrepid27** · 01-19-2009, 04:43 PM

I would hate to count on much production from a true freshman no matter what position he plays or how many stars he has behind is name.

Future Husker Weghner

I think Iowa is going to miss the easy schedule.

4.28 sec. 40 speed

Seriously? I mean come on people. That is getting down near Deion Sanders. I doubt any kid from Sioux City is going to be world class speed straight out of high school. Why not just say 3.9 and really make a statement?
