Voice of the Hawkeyes Board

Yep, he is according to their website. I had no idea he was playing also. Must see TV for Hawkeye fans IMO.

Thanks for posting this! It'll be great to see all three of these guys in action.

Why the hate for Richardson? Btw...the US team has some serious talent!

Should be interesting to watch.

He was also a teammate of Laron Taylor and Ruben Lile who we lost out on.

Welcome to Voice of the Hawkeyes! That's so neat that you'll get to see them play. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on all three of them.

Once again,

Just returned home from the International Bowl and was able to speak to all 3 recruits after the game. I am very, very, impressed with these guys both as atheletes and individuals. We have three great ambassadors for the University of Iowa and they will represent us well. I'm looking forward to watching these guys under Kirk. Definitely class acts!

Go Hawks!

They all said they were excited to come to Iowa City and proud to be Hawkeyes. Talked to Garmon first since team USA was on our side of the field. Talked a little about Erie, PA and the proud Hawkeye tradition from that town. The International team was on the other side of the field and we were spotted by Tevaun and Faith who came over smiling and talked a little about the game. Greg returned from the locker room and we talked a little more with all three (added a picture to my last post)...so impressed, just blown away by these guys.

Smith looked very impressive in the game! He is very smooth and makes everything look effortless. He is fast, has great body control, and has very good hands - he snagged everything thrown to him. He ran an end around from their 1 yard line and showed his speed in picking up a first down. I am very excited about him and Mabin and think they'll both have great careers.

Garmon didn't have very many carries and looked very slim. I think he looks closer to 180 than 200 lbs. I'm starting to think that maybe Hill has a better chance to get carries next year just because of physical maturity. I hope he can put on some good weight before next season.

I'm high on Smith as well, and I know the Hawkeye coaches think he can be very dangerous in the return game and at receiver.

One thing to keep in mind about Garmon is that he weighed 200 entering his senior season, but probably lost some of that over the course of the season. Now that he's not playing three sports for the first time, I'd expect him to arrive in Iowa City bigger and stronger. And once he's able to train with Coach Doyle year-round, it will be fun to watch what he develops into.
