Since he committed Iowa's strength staff are making him use straps on his cleans now so he's lost a lot of his power

Yep, really set Scherff back.

He's a pretty good guard, probably would have gotten LT money if the strength staff wasn't so soft

Ha, aside from the fact that his rookie contract was bigger than any OT drafted, spot on. Hey, were you alive in '73?

Scherff has what, a 4 year 22 mill deal? His offensive lineman teammate got a 5 year 66 mill deal. One of them used straps in college, the other did not.

Haha, nice. I'm guessing you were around in '73, but very young. No?

You'd be wrong

This kid will be iowa's LaQuan McGowan. I'm scared already.

One is also on a rookie contract, which is based on a predetermined value rather than the market value.

Hopefully that means you're older. Magical year. Alternative would be sad.

WOW they updated the article that they just posted yesterday

Edit: a previous version of this post said that Harris was the nephew of former Bears defensive lineman Tommie Harris. That evidently isn't true, as Juan Harris apologized for making that up on Twitter.

This just makes me sad, actually. Poor kid. I really hope he can land somewhere stable and get a decent education.

I'm too lazy to go back in the thread. What caused the bump?

He camped at Illinois this past weekend.

This. Oh, and apparently isn't very literate.

Yeah, even if he ends up a Hawk, seems like one of those cases where you just hope the kid can get some solid support around himself and some good mentors there to help give him some of what it sounds like he didn't get growing up.

Maybe AIB-East is right for him after all!

I would agree with this. Whether it's at Iowa (which I'd put at no more than 50/50 right now), Illinois or wherever, he needs to get in a program with some structure and can help him get focused. Perhaps going to a school more distance away from his family/friends would be a good thing for him.

How is this dude going to be at all academically eligible?

The U of I will let anyone in, just look at their basketball program
