Coach Mallory has been there for over a decade. He's had some good and bad years. Recently he's been on a tear. I don't know much about the program and feeder system but if I had to guess, if they have one, he's the reason or has improved it. Maybe someone on here that knows more can provide us more insight. LN has always had the talent. A ton of professional athletes come from LN. For example, Todd Leary, Eric Montross, Greg Oden and Mike Conely Jr. are all LN alum. Also, I forgot to mention Donaven McCulley is from LN.

@jermhoosierfan, yeah like @Stuhoo mentioned, it's Lawrence North High School. Omar Cooper Jr., Davion Chandler, Monshun Sales, and now Ethan Adbulraheem all have been offered and/or on or have been on the IUFB roster. It's most definitely a trend. I see this as all very good for IUFB.

Ultimately, we're probably 5 to 7 years away from this. There are massive contract obligations already signed and the amount of money lost and/or have to be repaid isn't going to happen.

Also, Matt Hayes apparently doesn't understand what bowl games are.

IUFB would have more than likely played: bye, 2 v 15/18 winner, quaterfinal, semifinal, CFP Final. I think the higher seeds in the 2nd round might also host a game or at least that is being discussed as well. Let's just adopt the FCS format and be done with it.

If I had to guess there are probably a lot of differences between the two programs. The milage from home is different. Both offensive systems are different. I'm also assuming the time spent on the practice field are different. NIL payment might be different and could be the driving force here. I'm just speculating all this stuff. Regardless, Iowa has a solid track record and Coach Cig gave all kinds of flowers to them last season. Both he and his teammate Caleb Johnson are in a really good place and have to make difficult decisions. I wish him the best of luck and hope he stays only a few hours from his family. Selfishly, I hope both of them end up in 812.

16-0, OL coach developing players into NFL potential. Seems like a good enough pitch to me. I'm biased though. Lol. Best of luck whatever this young man decides. Hope he chooses 812FB when it's all said and done.

This is a storied football franchise talking about a walk on. I'm seeing quite a marriage between the two.
