Weghner to Iowa

[Landshark]

I bet they'd much rather go to a school that fans don't even show up on Senior Day, with a conference championship on the line.

Sorry, but both Iowa and ISU have had season-ending games that neither fanbase is proud of.

That is awesome smack!!!! Sad, but true.....good one SH, we deserve that one.:notworthy:

I politely disagree with this premise. First, we're doing ok in-state. We beat Iowa for Boffeli, but Lichtenberg and Lenz are stretches that didn't have other DI interest to this point and shouldn't be compared to Davis, Wegher, or maybe even Cotton. Second, I'm pretty sure that Wegher isn't from their neck of the woods. Third, I'm still not convinced that we are out of the running for Barrent. If we have a surprising year, he could easily be swayed to stay in Iowa, and ISU has excellent connections to Valley's program.

I'm excited for this year because I think it could be the year that we make our move. Beating Iowa in Iowa City is the key. We pull that off this year, coupled with a thumping next year in Ames, and we will see Iowa high school studs finding it harder and harder to turn down ISU. Once we start going head-to-head and winning on the top Iowa talent against Iowa, we'll be where we need to be to have long-term success.

Couldn't agree more - we need to get the top talent in Iowa, and get kids to choose us over the Hawks. Not getting any of the top four for 2009, especially with three of them going to Iowa, is disappointing. You said it all - a win in IC will help.

Anyone else hoping that that Wegher hits his peak in high school? Ive seen his work out and training video on YouTube, and its impressive, they have a good weight/football program there. It looks like hes a man amongst boys, but how will he do against other guys just and strong and fast as he is?

He reminds me of a local player thats currently a senior on our team, but faster, hmmmm... who would that be? He hasnt really worked out like we all hoped, unfortunately.

If he is indeed a hawk, then I hope he hits his peek. If he chooses the good guys, I hope his best days are ahead of him.

well lichtenberg was a 3* and boffeli was 2* so that doesnt make a lot of sense... and i never said ISU was out of the running, is said iowa doesnt have a chance to get him back.

Yes. Me! Go Crusaders!

As for Wegher, I don't care if he goes to Iowa or not. I am not a fan of Heelan, so why would I really care about him? Any high school kid that can see what is going on in Iowa City, and the complete lack of leadership or character, and still thinks this is an option for where to attend college shows me all that I need to know. As of now Iowa athletics is quickly becoming a disgrace to both the University and the State, as are those who refuse to acknowledge this.[/quote]

C'mon bro, get on the band wagon! Hopefully we'll get one of the other Crusaders we're recruiting.
