Willies leaving

Derrick Willies says he's leaving Iowa football team

That sucks. I wonder what the reason is.

well, he is a talented WR that can catch the ball and run the deep routes, there is no place for him on this team since we have those routes, but run them once every other game and those are for Powell. Willies should be on the field and a target now, not wait til next year or the year after that. He is a big body that fits the McNutt mold but they aren't using him at all, why not go somewhere where you can be a part of an offense?

Because Ferentz runs talented players out of town, he has no place for them in this program.

It sounds like to me that he's just not into football anymore. It sounds like he's burnt out.

Edit. He is transferring closer to his father, who is having health issues. LeShun Daniels is out for the season due to an injury during practice.

The health issues is a convenient excuse. Had Willies been receiving playing time due to him being infinitely more talented than the scrubs currently hogging playing time at WR (yes, YOU Kevonte and YOU Vandeberg) he'd still be a Hawk and with he and Smith our future at WR would have seemed slightly less bleak.

But Vandeberg is a good person and he practices real nice

That shouldn't be an issue because KF will continue to start a FB at RB and we will continue to avg 1.6 ypc

That's exactly it and exactly why Iowa football will never be a true contender for anything under Ferentz and this joke of a staff.
