Does anyone else find the rate of dropouts disturbing? Does anyone find it odd regarding the extended delay in naming a DC? Does Kirk HAVE a CLUE?!

While many of us are not D1 coaches many of us do understand kids, life, etc. It would do Kirk good to ready the Tipping Point so he has a clue what is transpiring within his program.

please go into detail regarding the 'rate of dropouts' as it relates to letting the public know about the new DC.

Just you.

Wow it's amazing how many people log on to this board! Never thought I'd get that many responses!

Here is the list of players who committed to Big Ten schools over the past 5 seasons- 2007 to 2011. The reason I limited it to 5 years was that a commit from the 2007 season would have played his final season this year following a red shirt. Iowa has had the third most turnover in the conference over that time period, lost 43 players who had eligibility remaining for a variety of reasons. In this time period only three players left early for the draft from Iowa- Bulaga, Sash and Rieff.

One last thing- other than Ferentz, only Zook, Bielema, Dantonio, and Paterno were head coaches for this entire time period.

Team 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Total
Illinois 21(23) 28 20(22) 23 27 (28) 124
Indiana 20 20 19 25 24 108
Iowa 22 25 21 22 25 115
Michigan 20 24 22 27 21 114
Michigan State 22 (23) 21 23 22 21 110
Minnesota 24 29 20 26 26 125
Nebraska 27 28 20 22 20 117
Northwestern 19 20 18 17 17 91
Ohio State 15 20 25 19 24 103
Penn State 21 14 27 19 16 97
Purdue 19 26 20 24 15 104
Wisconsin 18 26 21 24 19 108

In case y'all hadn't read the other guy's thread. Maybe my thread should have been titled does Kirk or Kool Aid drinking Hawk fans have a clue?

[Cover3]

Yes. In that other thread, it was pointed out in that list that Iowa has the third-most often used 'revolving door' out of the program. What I see though, is that we have had a number of players comparable to the league average.

Our player attrition is unremarkable, so I have trouble blaming Kirk for it. I do blame him for the recent Minnesota losses, though.

This, although the biggest issue regarding the attrition is that it's largely from just two position groups.

Exactly. Supose this has anything to do with coach K being shown the door?

Hey Springsteen, are you really that bored?

Why don't you hop on over to the BBall forum?

Misery might love company, but company surely doesn't love misery.

EDIT: and yeah, we get it. Ferentz is the greatest.
