I understand Shonn Greene (Running Back) has left the program. Generally understood to be failure to meat academic requirements. He’s left to attend a prep school and still has 2 years of eligibility (plans were to redshirt him in 2007 behind Sims and Young). He could come back for the 2008 season but that rarely happens once a student athlete leaves school.

Standout commits for the 2008 season are Jason Ford 4 star rating at Running Back from Belleville Illinois and 3 star (DL) Riley Reiff from South Dakota. Riley watched the Chad Greenway career at Iowa and had a 34-0 record in wrestling. At 6″ 5″ 240 as a HS Senior this guy could have a great future. James Ferentz (2 star rating, son of Coach Kirk) has also signed on for the 2008 season – he starting his senior year as a center with the Iowa City Little Hawks.

Here is a good, free, (I think) overview of the 2007 season, although they still mention Shonn as being on the roster, he is not. Amari Spievey, (CB) redshirt freshman, has also left the team – I’m assuming for academic reasons.

I usually won’t read much about Da Bears until the regular season starts.

The first Hawkeye game of the 2007 will be unusually exciting in that it will be played in Soldier Field, Chicago – home of Da Bears.
