Links For Iowa: Robinson gone, KOK to UConn?

Adam Robinson dismissed

This is old news already, but I haven't had a chance to write about it yet. Robinson was kicked off the team on Monday following his citation for possession of marijuana (and he incidentally filed his paperwork with the Polk County District today). The pot charges were the final straw as Robinson already sat the bench for the opening quarter against Ohio State and was suspended from the bowl game for "academic indigestion"/"not taking care of business".

Following the chaotic couple of weeks the Hawkeyes had in December, dismissing Robinson was the right move. To get cited with marijuana possession while you're at home serving a suspension with the rest of the team in Arizona is just not very smart. So Robinson is now another running back to add to the list of casualties. It's amazing at this time a year ago Iowa still had Robinson, Brandon Wegher, Jewel Hampton, Jeff Brinson, and Jeff Brown in what looked like a log jam in the backfield. All 5 are now off the team for one reason or another. Thankfully Marcus Coker looks like the real deal.

Quick look at 2011: Starters

One thing that really stuck out to me during the Insight Bowl was the play of some of the underclassmen. It was exciting to see that there is young talent on the team and that the big senior class may be easier to replace than expected. Anyway, looking forward to next year, here's my first draft of what I think the starters will be for 2011. I cheated a little bit and listed 2 for a couple of positions. At this point too, I'm assuming all of the juniors will come back.

SE | Keenan Davis
LT | Riley Reiff
LG | Nolan MacMillan
C | James Ferentz
RG | Adam Gettis
RT | Markus Zusevics
TE | Brad Herman/C.J. Fiedorowicz
QB | James Vandenberg
WR | Marvin McNutt
RB | Marcus Coker
FB | Brad Rogers

Defense:
DE | Lebron Daniel
DT | Steve Bigach/Thomas Nardo
