Good for him!!!! Best of luck!!!!!


Just gotta say....called it!!!!!!

Surely hate to see him go but you have to be happy for Howard that he's put himself in this position.

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

Good for him, he's a great player.

 

 

Redding/Majette should be able to be solid backs for us next season. 

[Hurryin' Hoosiers 1,999]

this stinks.

 

On one hand, you would think NFL teams would be wary of picking Howard due to his injuries.  Playing another season at IU and being healthy for it would show he can stay healthy and help his stock.

 

On the other hand, he could get injured even worse and lose out.

 

Guess he's hoping teams will overlook all the time has missed.  Seems like he is the RB version of Bob Sanders.  Duels out pain but always injured because of it.

Figured another injury plagued season and he was doomed. Go get your money Howard how about a great Bowl game to go out on a high note.

He won't play. Stay healthy for combine.

And Andrew Wilson, was a stud vs Purdue

Congrats and best of luck JH, it was great to have you this year. Doubt he plays in the bowl game, but we will see.

Injury prone and from a school not known for football? A Baakle specialty! He will fit in on the Niners. Probably our first round pick.

He's hurt an awful lot to think he's a very high draft pick.  Very nice player, but can't stay healthy.   Good for him, but I think he needs to show more than he did.  A great back....like him very much.

Why wouldn't he play in the bowl game?   Embarrassing for him if his owie prevents that.

Another chance to show off how prone he is.

Wouldn't it matter what the knee scope reveals?  It could be worse then a little owie.

He missed one game in two years at UAB while racking up 450+ carries. He got nicked up this year, still managed 200 carries but now he's injury prone?

I'm just speaking as a scout. They are vultures. Im not mad at him. Guess you have to be used to the culture.

The culture of what? Scouts? Whether I am or not has no bearing on the fact that I think labeling him injury prone a bit premature.

I guess I'm just saying the kid has a future but if I was him I wouldn't play whether the scope said yes I'm good or no I'm not. I'd support the team, go be a leader on the sidelines like he was at purdue. Things happen but I'm not gonna play and get a label as injury prone if I come back and injure myself in another game. I'm going go into the combine and put IU on the map for football. Sheesh my b

lol, gotcha. And in agreement. If he's leaving, he has almost nothing to gain and a lot to lose by playing. As a fan I hope like heck he plays but would understand if we don't see him. Of course, this is the cat that tried to sneak back on the field against OSU, so who knows

Best to him. As an IU guy, I would love to have him back, but RB's take a ton of punishment and you have to go Pro when you can.
