Guest coachacola Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 From the Hawkeye Sports News: Junior LB Jacody Coleman plans to transfer from the Iowa football program. Coleman has asked for and been given his release. Jacody played in all 13 games for the Hawkeyes last season and was the starting MIKE Linebacker in Iowa's first two games against Maine and FIU. He recorded 28 tackles last year, 7 solo and 21 assists. Coleman, a Beaumont, TX native, was one of 11 true freshman that saw action during the 2007 season. http://www.hawkeyesportsnews.com/2009/04/iowa-lb-jacody-coleman-plans-to.html
Guest mffl Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 Called this... look for more WB alum to come back.
Guest mffl Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I don't know about 75%, I'd say 40-50%. And honestly, I don't care, as long as we win.
AJ25 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 No offense to Lamar, but I'm not leaving Iowa for Lamar unless I have no shot to start at Iowa.
Guest coachacola Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 No offense to Lamar, but I'm not leaving Iowa for Lamar unless I have no shot to start at Iowa. That seems to be just the case from some of the online articles I've read. He's a great pickup for Lamar because he could have transferred to any other FCS school and not have to sit out a year. 75% Of Lamars Team Will be From SETX Looking at who Coach Woodard has signed so far (not counting walk-ons), less than 40% are from SETX. Mffl got it right, 40%-50% players from SETX, but more importantly they have to win.

Guest mffl Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I hear former Kelly player and current UH d-end Dorian Guillory is coming back to Lamar. Also Torrian Henry (sp?) WR/ATH is coming to Lamar also. He was looked at by quite a few Division I schools out of high school
AJ25 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I looked at Iowa's website, and they did have Jacoby as a second string outside linebacker after the fall season, so he wouldn't be starting yet again this upcoming year. And that sounds great. Lamar might have a more talented team than Mcneese, becasue almost no one from setx will go there anymore, plus we can probably convince a few of the future special teamers (IMO ben wells) at big programs to stay at home at Lamar.
UNLV Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Lamar will win a few games year 1. At least a 6-5 record would send a loud message to SETX.
LUFAN Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 I agree UNLV... Lamar will make some noise in their 1st year... I think we are gonna add a couple more games to the list I think we have 9 games listed so far.. I am sure we will play 11 our 1st season...
Guest coachacola Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 I think Lamar will attract more quality players from SETX than they did in the 70s and 80s. Back then Lamar was new to D1 and the SWC was king. Cardinal Stadium and Higgins field house started going downhill in the 80s and with Lamar not having much money and not much to play for, getting good players was next to impossible. Look at that scoreboard they just tore down, that wasn't even high school quality. Now Lamar is investing a lot of money into football and into the campus in general. And while Lamar stays at the FCS level they can compete for a national championship. I think we'll see more local players go to Lamar rather than sit on the bench at some FBS or BCS school.
