    Abandoned Golf Course in Newton

    I recently moved my daughter to Newton and noticed a nice but abandoned golf course on the West end of town. The land is for sale. I am a golfer (not a very good one though) and it looks like it was a pretty nice course at one time. It makes me sad to see abandoned golf courses (there is...

    Golf Club Advice

    Hello fellow fanatics, I know there are some pretty good golfers on this site and need your advice. I am in my early 40's and just started playing golf again. I played a little in my 20's and then didn't golf for nearly 20 years as I was busy with life, work, kids, and I was really into...

    IPAD/IPHONE repair in Ames/Des Moines Area

    My 9 year old son is a good kid and has been great with his IPOD 5 until he shut it in my truck door today. He had a nice case for it. The glass is not broken or cracked and the power and home switches work, but the metal case is slightly bent (you care barely tell) but the touch screen does...

    Pheasant hunting

    With pheasant season approaching, I had to start a thread. Who is going out this weekend? I am going to hunt in North Central Iowa. A lot of farmers I have talked to report they are scarce, with one saying he didn't even see a pheasant when harvesting corn this year. His place is usually...

    Kale Abrahamson

    I read that Abrahamson was at the ISU game last week with Peter Jok. I saw him play on the Mediacom station on a rerun against Waukee and was impressed. I found his highlight video that was posted a few weeks ago on Youtube. I read that he has grown 4 inches in a year and could still grow a...

    Half Marathon Recommendations

    I turned 40 last year and went through a brief midlife crisis and started running again. I really enjoy it and ran the Dam to Dam and the Des Moines Half last year and loved it. I want to run them again this year, but was looking for 1 to 2 more runs and was wondering if anyone had any...

    Akoy Agau

    I was wondering if anyone knew anything about Akoy Agau or where we stand with him? I found this video on Youtube of his highlights from Omaha Central. I found the music annoying so you might want to mute. I believe that he was a freshman last year. He looks like he has good size and...

    Kareem Canty

    Does Chris or anyone know how hard we are pursing Canty? I see that he made the rivals top 150. I found this video of him on you tube. He has some serious handles. YouTube - Long Island Lightning Mix ft. Kelvin Amayo, and Kareem Canty serious highlights

    BJ Young

    Does anyone know anything about BJ Young and our chances with him? Looks like he is a stud who is from the same high school as Anthony Booker. Can't believe MU isn't on him. Scout.com: B.J. Young Profile

    Devin Lemke

    A good friend of mine (whom is actually a Hawk fan) at work is from Iowa Falls and reports that ISU offered Devin Lemke. He is good friends with his family and feels that Devin will commit to ISU. He told me that he is a great all round athlete (wrestling, football, track) and possess great...

    Chasson Randle

    I watched the first half of Rock Island and Davenport Central today on mediacom. Chasson Randle looked good. Is there any news on him and where do we stand? I haven't heard anything about him for awhile on this board.

    Naadir Tharpe

    I apologize if this has been posted before, but I see on Rivals that he is now considering ISU. I know he plays at Brewster Academy and is from England and was reclassified into the 2011 class. I think I read somewhere that they think he will be rated as the #1 PG in the country. He has an...

    Chris Colvin Dunk

    I just found this on You Tube. I think it is from this season. Pretty impressive for a point guard. YouTube - Chris Colvin dunks vs Marshall (Whitney Young)

    Capitol City League

    Sorry if this has been posted before, but when do they draft the teams and when do the games start? Does anyone know who will be playing this summer? I have heard that Pomlee will be arriving on campus early to start working out, so I guessing he is one of our new recruits playing. I hope the...

    Kyle Kelm

    Does anyone know anything about Kyle Kelm from Wisconsin? I know that he is only a sophomore and I read that we have offered him a scholarship. I know he is 6'9' and can play. I don't know how to do it, but I wanted to add a You Tube link of him dunking. I know he comes from a high school in...

    Chris Babb and Harrison Barnes

    were at the Iowa game today (puke). I am ashamed to admit that I was listening to the Hawkeye pregame while my wife and kids were shopping in the mall. The Cyclone pregame hadn't started. Dolphin said they were attending the game. I would hate it if Barnes went to EIU.

    Indian Hill Community College

    Maybe this has been posted before, but I was wondering if anyone has information on us recruiting Indian Hills Players. I know we are in on a guard, but they have a couple of decent big men. Leon Powell and Laron Dendy. Has anyone seen them play? Dendy is 6'9' and was rated as a 4 star PF...

    Favorite Freshman

    I know that Brackins has played in streaks this year, but I still think he is going to be a great player. That kind of inconsistent play is typical for a freshman. I got to thinking about all the other freshman in the country. I am not a basketball analyst by any means, but this freshman...
