If it's an Ole Miss recruit at QB odds are Freeze cut him loose.

Live arm...decent footwork, can throw across his body and a decent nose for the backside rush. He had a good relationship with Nutt and their old OC before changes were made...committed to Ole Miss in early May.

I don't see the reason for another QB. I think the Hawk Defense needs more bodies. What am I missing?

[CAARHawk]

He is more of a pro-style guy. He doesn't really fit Freeze's system. Probably means Hugh got Liggins or Gross to pull the trigger.

His granddad played for USC.

The fact that the coaches think they do

As of now, beyond the 2012 season, Iowa will have Rudock and Sokol on scholarship. That's it. That's about two too few.

A permanent staff on that side of the ball maybe?

True, competition for starting positions can't hurt and will only make others better. Like to see another 3-4* DL but that doesn't look great at this point. Maybe Curry will surprise us and become a Hawkeye!

Think of all the high school qb's that succeed at other positions at Iowa. I'm not saying this guy won't play qb at Iowa but you never know.

Yep, word is Freeze has got one of the better dual threat options to come on board.

CJ is way more Vandy than Aplin. Would have a really tough time running the QB draw and the zone read plays. Pretty much just a drop back pro-Style guy. Bad, bad fit for Freeze.

But he is a legit drop back passer. Think of the year Stanzi came on board. JC was the starter. Arvell Nelson was the preferred back-up. Ricky was an afterthought.

Looks like he would be a nice addition. Is he making any other visits? Who else are we competing against (Besides Ole Miss)?
