Higdon

Congrats, he looks like a great addition!

Hope to see the Hawks improve, and the Huskers too, so we get more great games to finish the year. Good to see you guys landing some potentially great talent.
 
looks like IA will go into this fall with 5 healthy RB's at this time of year, but this was said last year at this time last year.

Malloy after the semester ended left for UNI
Hill after the semester ended left for UNI
Canzeri hurt off n on all fall
Daniels 4th game knocked out for the season
Bullock knocked out the last few games because of injury
Weiman last man standing bashed by m,any on this board as was KF for not using somebody else when there really was no left
Wadley best game was against NW where he had 106 yards on 16 carries, Chuck Long was quoted as saying he ran to much east-west vs north-south, and danced to much He said nothing about fumbling problems
Parker was lining up in the slot and was the KO returner but had fumbling problems

this fall the RB's will look like this

RSSR Canzeri 4.4 40 out of HS but has been slowed by the multiple injuries, going into this season same question will/can he stay healthy, stay healthy and can be a every down back
JR Daniel every down back in the mold of Shonn Greene same speed and at 6'2 230 vs Greene at 5'10 230
RSSO Wadley 4.4 40 every down back and speed to take it the distance from anywhere on the field
RSSO Parker 4.4 40 looks to be in the slot this season again
RSFR Hilliard another every down back but with limited speed good enough for 15-20 yards but not the speed to take it the distance like a Abdulah or Gordon, Hilliard runs a 4.58 40 another smaller Greene type of speed RB
FR Higdon a 4.45 40 the type of RB that will be a every down back

that's IA RB's in a quick look.
 
Making final decision tomorrow at 8am. Visited Michigan least weekend.


Personal opinion, HE GONE
 
Link or any info on this haydenhawk? Not finding anything on it.

Hopefully its just a signing ceremony. If he does switch be interesting to know why he tweeted other iowa recruits as some have said he did today about attending the iowa spring game.

For him to say he is solid Iowa to now deciding between us and Michigan isn't a good sign. Wait and see.

HAHAHAH typical Iowa! This kid will go on and be the next Melvin Gordon at Michigan! Watch..
 
my info is as good as you morons.
Why say anything without any substance to it???
Talked to 2 memebers of the premium site today who said he is solid.............
 
If here solid to Iowa, he would say so by now. Recruiting is such drama these days especially when you have snakes like Harbaugh out there.

Since visiting Michigan he has publicly reaffirmed his commitment to Iowa on a couple of occasions. You're right he gone . . . to Iowa.
 
This I also don't understand he has reaffirmed his commitment in tweeting other Iowa recruits and even people who run this site. If he does stay with iowa don't understand the need for an announcement. Unless he wants to enjoy his recruitment spotlight until the very last second until he signs his LOI.

Why is Harbaugh a snake ? KF and Iowa have grabbed last second MAC recruits before. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
 
Like I said over the weekend, Iowa just lost their best recruit. Sad sad state of the program. I will be going to the Arizona State signing day ceremony tomorrow and welcoming a bunch of Top 250 players, 4 stars, and 5.7 3 star players that had MANY MANY offers. Iowa should join the MAC.
 
Did he publicly reaffirm his commitment after the visit? The only things that I saw was a tweet from Blair that said "We are hearing that Karan Higdon has reconfirmed his commitment after visiting Michigan" It does not say that he talked to Higdon himself. The response to the Paulson's seemed almost too short for me to feel good about. Now he's making a decision? Thought he was already committed.....
 
Some moron (michigansomething) said he was announcing at 8am in the morning.
Like I said, SOURCE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He pretty well has dried up my enthusiasm with this silly charade. Makes it easier when the obvious occurs tomorrow. The whole recruiting process is absurd and extremely expensive given a February signing date. Does keep the powerful on top however.
 
Also, the last thing that "coach" said was that the insiders were not well informed and that he morally couldn't divulge more. Then the coach changed his username and went silent. Not good.
 
Michigan probbably through some exrtras in. He won't be the next Melvin Gordon there becasue they will recruit all over the top of him next year with 4 and 5 star kids. Lets face it, if not for Harbaugh coming in late and wanting to get something going they would not even likely be looking at him.
 
That would would be a pretty sad deal that someone in a week can make up ground from months of recruitment. I know Iowa isn't sexy and we aren't really relevant in college football but we have a major time/relationship advantage over Michigan.

That's what I'm hoping for.... he just wants to do a little announcement and put on an Iowa hat
 
Well I hope to hear good news tomorrow morning. Im not going to stress over it in the mean time. Higdon sounds like a great student athlete and would be great fit for Iowa at RB.

You write this like it's a sure thing. Where are you getting this? I see him announcing his decision tomorrow. Kids across the country are having signing ceremonies tomorrow morning at their high schools. At my school we have 13 kids signing LOIs in the gym lobby tomorrow morning.

You're assuming the worst. Basing this entirely on my experience with these things, it looks to me like he is going to have a signing ceremony tomorrow and will pick Iowa. This is based on his Tweets to other players, information provided to Blair, etc. It's also based on having seen several of these ceremonies with my own eyes. People in the know are fully aware of where the kid is going, but the rest of the school and community don't know. The ceremony is largely for them.

You write that it was a done deal on Sunday. Is this information from the Lounge? From some other insider? From some random Michigan fan blog? Are you sure, or do you think you are sure?
 
hope so but I just saw a video of Garbutt he was his teams RB,KR, OLB and he looked real good as a RB + HE RUNS A 4.34 short shuttle and it shows in that video.

even Hockaday might get a look at RB, 6'0 200 lbs and I am very comfortable with what we have now, we will know at 8 AM Eastern 7 AM Central.

if he flips I will not be surprised

1st he commits to USF
2nd IA comes along and that is a better offer so he flips to IA
3rd now Michigan offers and now Michigan is the better offer, does he flip or does he stay committed put yourself in his shoes.
 
Foley, why do you just yell and scream and put 37 questions marks ? Grow the hell up

Blair, and others have said that Higdon texted saying he was making his decision at 7am Central.

Which has come and gone.

What's the verdict?
 
It's Michigan. I was wrong. That sucks. What at one point looked like it would be Markel Smith and Karan Higdon ends up with neither.
