Bo Williams Article

Great story but, man, that is a long time to wait to ever see the field. I really hope he stays motivated despite the long wait.
 
I thought it was finalized that Bo had 4 years of eligibility.
 
Cool story. I hope bo tries to get his elegibility from past year back. He is gonna be good. Him and a rob will be unstopable

I don't believe the cases are granted until the summer, but apparently it's assumed he will.
 
What I was left with after reading both of those articles is that we are recruiting kids with their head screwed on straight, who know what they want and believe they can find it in Ames.

That's really good news too...

Hey, Coach Petersen was on the ball and did a great job, didn't he?

And Bo, everything you read about this kid, you like him a lot for what he does off the field as well as on it. Bo seems like a super young man. It's just so terrific to cheer on a kid for who he is as well as for what he does on the field.

I've wondered why, exactly, Gene Chizik chose to come to Iowa State University.

In addition to the power tandem of Dr. Geoffrey and Jamie Pollard, who were in position to establish the means for Gene to succeed (not having to deal with a slow and cumbersome search committee just had to help), I've got another thought, too.

At a Texas or at a Nebraska, Gene would have been "the next man in," really. At Iowa State, he has the opportunity to become "The Man." By that I mean Gene can be the author of his own success and take this program to places it has never before been. He couldn't do that at one of the power programs; they've been to the mountain top.

ISU, the ultimate challenge, maybe. If Gene succeeds here, he won't be just one more in a line of fine coaches, he will have proven that he's something special.

And, Bo Williams is here to help Iowa State achieve something special. Bo says so in the interview linked here. This program has an opportunity to go where no Cyclone Coach and no ISU team has gone before.

Just rambling, I know. . . .

Iowa...the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Iowa State Cyclones...
 
In the Hammerschmidt article, it mentioned that the coaches sent him a workout regiment before he gets to Ames. I don't know if Mac had done this, but it helps the players prepare physically and gives them the idea of what the coaches want from them.
 
In order to get a 6th year of eligibility (Settles, Yelk) the player must appeal to the NCAA for an exemption. I don't think the player can make that appeal until after their 5th year.
 
I imagine Chizik came here for the same reason Fry went to Iowa. He liked the fundamentals and liked the opportunity it afforded.

2 things jump out at me when I read this:

1. kinesiology major - good for him, that is no joke of a major.

2. Is he running track for ISU or can you run as an independent? Excuse my ignorance but why do you sit out a year for football and basketball but not track?
