He will be one of the best after his career ends here. The kid is smooth and smart. We’re lucky to have him on our team.
Extra players without needing to burn a schollie…
6-7 230 same size as Julius Peppers when he played ball

Exactly. Whenever Hoggard played against us, I always felt he was one of their better ones. This isn't classy from Izzo, but then again, he never was.
In his defense, he did lose a B1G Championship game ~20 minutes prior to this video. Rather my players look like that than the Mr Clappy Hands two seats to the left.Looking back, the clues were pretty obvious.

If he did, I would be sad, but understand. This guy gave blood sweat and tears to us for 4 years. Sometimes guys want a little taste of a different environment before moving on.
In short, he owes us (fans) nothing more.
Same team that took Dickhead. Probably work out about the same.

Rumor here in Decatur is he wants to play both BB and FB... Sure he wants to walk on the BB team. He is a big kid could help in practice dont see him ever playing for real
So basically you’re proposing he utilize the Tom Arnold Plan. That guy practically started that movement. He’s from Iowa too; so maybe he could offer some pointers.I wonder if Patrick McCaffrey has considered this route? Girfriend Caitlin won't sign with the WNBA unless Patrick is guaranteed a spot in the NBA.

1. Local kid … He follows the team … He’s also a pretty good basketball player himself … Could easily be a PWO here … And something he might want to pursue …
2. FamILLy … It’s not just a FB thing … It’s an athletic department thing … Brad has met with FB recruits on many occasions … Anything that helps us close the deal … Mom & Dad are BIG time Brad fans … His Mom told me it was her highlight of the visit …

No rumor … It’s true …
And we might be one of the only programs who would approve of it …

I mean to be fair, he just lost a title game 20 minutes prior to this. That would be my face, too.Looking back, the clues were pretty obvious.

I despise all things Badger, however, I really respected the effort Chucky put in against us.
He gave it his all and was crushed when it wasn't enough. I respect that.

If letting him walk on gets him to play football its a big bonus good kid and has talent receiving,,, Maybe bulk him up he can be like that monster Purdue had back in the 90s

If my memory serves me well it was common (at least through the 80's) to have FB players as Walk-on's on the MBB team. I swore that was a thing and I swore we used to sometimes have over the amount allowed to dress for games so they would sometimes get them dressed for a single game and if possible into the game at some point near the end. Of course my memory could just be shot and I'm not remembering right. LOL

All of our coaches and AD get along and help each other out whenever it’s asked … Lot of universities can’t say that …

I seem to remember Micheal Finke's dad was recruited for FB and switched to basketball. I could be wrong though.
Geez...am I stupid. I thought FB meant "Fall Back" as in fall back option.
This right here is awesome. Warms my fuzzies.
We should be encouraging this as much as possible. You never know what will turn up.
