Watched Iowa/Lipscomb earlier today Did Jaidyn Coon play football in high school? Dude is a unit for a true freshman I do wonder who’s going to be the guy in close games.. Sage or Combs as of now but Ty’reek Coleman is an underrated option once settled in

Jack Campbell: “I have full movement in my lower body, and I’m continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I’m taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better.”
STATEMENT FROM JACK CAMPBELL My family and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers, and support we’ve received over the past few days. It means more to us than words can express. I’m incredibly encouraged by the progress I’ve made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body, and I’m continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I’m taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better. My faith in God has never been stronger. I know He has a plan for me, and I trust in that plan. I know there may be challenges ahead, but with my faith, my family, and so many people in my corner, I know we’ll get through this. I especially want to thank the athletic trainers and medical personnel who responded and cared for me on the field. I know those were difficult moments, and I’m incredibly grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and care you showed me. The way you handled everything and looked after me when I needed it most is something I’ll never forget. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I also can’t say enough about the incredible care I’ve received from the medical team at Henry Ford Hospital and the Detroit Lions medical staff. They’ve been amazing to me and my family throughout this process, and I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done. To my teammates, coaches, and everyone in the Lions organization, I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. This team is a family to me, and the way everyone has been there for me means everything. I’m proud to be a Detroit Lion and couldn’t ask to be surrounded by a better group of people. One thing I’ve learned about Detroit is that this city is built on toughness, resilience, and grit. That’s exactly how I’m going to approach this challenge. Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. We feel the love, and I can’t thank everyone enough. God is good. My faith is strong. Jack Campbell

Ben summarizes why I am not a coach and he is one of the best. This was just a bad matchup for Iowa and I should have considered that but didn’t.

He knows they have players. He just doesn’t know when they’ll gel. He will get it done.

Trevin Jirak is Iowa’s most improved player in my eyes. Holy smokes he’s a completely different player.

There’s one thing that we will always get from a BMC team…these guys play HARD. Cramps, diving for loose balls, falling straight on their backs for rebounds. Hustle is always going to be there.

Jaidyn Coon might be our best player. Kid has a high motor and crazy athleticism.
