Griz new running back from Iowa State

Don't know much about him (Coleman) except he was kicked off their team. Here's his rap sheet:

Coleman and Williams were arrested after a skirmish at Club Element in Ames. In 2003, in a separate case, he was found guilty of interference with official acts causing bodily injury, and for assaulting a police officer in Iowa City.

Nice pick-up griz.

1: Posted in the wrong place

2: Everybody should get a second chance.

3: Cats should understand better than most about a 2nd chance ask one of your coaches

4: If this was on the smack board you could have some good natured fun with it just like the Humbolt state thread.

1. I didn't realize we gave him a second chance.

2. If this was a transfer to the Cats the Griz would be all over it.

3. If Lex and Bradshaw are so good why do you need to bring in someone of that character?

Nice to see a sensitive griz fan. Everyone should get a second chance like one of your current running backs. We're cool with that. Good pickup.

If Carpenter and the other QB are so good why did the cats bring in the kid from Hawaii?

2: He's not going to play Running back at the U.

I don't have a problem with you guys being all over this. But what does it have to do with Bobcat football.

If Bearbac posted this line with Junior Adams. 15 people would start asking him to be banned. I just want the orginal poster to man up on the issue.

I dont think Rolovich ever ASSAULTED A POLICE OFFICER. I could be wrong though.

He has not used his red shirt yet, and he was a star D player in High School

BTW he played Fullback at Iowa State.

Great pickup griz! Build that team chemistry!

Maybe they convinced him to sign by taking him down to stocks? "This is my kind of place he said afterwards"

Looks like Iowa State game him a second chance, and a third chance, and decided that a fourth chance was enough.

This looks like it could have been in the smack section but I really don't like to see this kind of a transfer at either school. Don't mean to seem so judgemental but he got kicked off their team. Kind of like was it really fair for the NFL teams to completely ignore M.Vick in the draft?

I don't like being drop down U either PDXkat. (but it's not up to me)

They better move him to the D if they don't want to waste him there. Lex is the man there at RB and they have 1-2 good ones already behind him so this year is a wash for him anyway if he plays RB in my opinion. He may only get one good year in at the most.

Nice pick-up griz.

Is there a link? The only article I saw said he may be moving to Montana, didn't specify the Griz - and I was thinking maybe Kramer was looking at him after Rank changed his mind? He looks pretty good but I'm not sure if he could beat out Lex OR Groves...

Darn now this has gotten all serious and ******. (Thinking of some way to take this one off topic or smack on someone)

Oh boy:

Coleman and Williams were arrested after a skirmish at Club Element in Ames. In 2003, in a separate case, he was found guilty of interference with official acts causing bodily injury, and for assaulting a police officer in Iowa City.

The reason, IMHO, Lex struggled late last year is because we had NO passing game. Hopefully Swogger can give us that this year. If not, it's going to be a long year.

It's nice to pick up a player from a major conference. Kind of like the SEC back the Cats got. Let's hope for a Griz/Cat sucessful year and a deep run in the playoffs for both!

I'm excited about this year, both Missoula and Bozotown.

Sounds like Taylor Rank changed his mind and is staying at SC.

Does anyone else find it ironic that not too long ago, many of the Griz posters on BN and on egriz were criticizing us for our JC transfers and dropdowns. And now, they are pinning all their hopes on:

1 Dropdown QB (Swogger)
2 Dropdown WR's (Chambers and Allen)
1 Dropdown RB (Bradshaw - yes I know Hilliard will get most of the playing time)
1 Dropdown RB/DB/LB/DE (the new guy from Iowa State)
1 Dropdown QB/WR/slash (Washington)
1 Dropdown DT (the kid from Boise State)
1 Dropdown OL? (Rossum? from Arizona?)
Am I forgetting anyone?

Go figure

I remember the outrage when Western Illinois beat them soundly in the playoffs due to all of the dropdowns that the Leathernecks had. Although I think the "If you can't beat'em, join'em," pragmatism is the right answer. The problem is that it has turned all of 1-AA into a "dropdown division" in the eyes of the national media and sports fans. You couldn't watch a playoff game this year without the announcers developing all of the back stories about which 1-A school that so many of these guys used to attend.

Changes need to be made to the Division as a whole. Getting rid of the one year transfers is a good start, but more needs to be done. I would be in favor of requiring all dropdowns to sit out a year, just as though they were transferring to another 1-A. I think the current system allows kids out of high school to roll the dice on a major school, but bail out at the slightest impression that they won't be the star and go 1-AA (where they probably should have gone in the first place). It makes 1-AA a fallback league whose success if based on dropdowns as opposed to kids developed in the program.

And yes, dropdowns have been good for MSU ... but I would be much happier if all of 1-AA stepped away from the dropdown mentality and became a legitimate division of high school recruits and JC transfers ... not a fallback position for guys who couldn't cut it at a higher level. At least then the subordinate status of 1-AA wouldn't be so obvious every time an ESPN announcer makes a reference to "Texas A&M transfer X carries the ball to the 15, tackled by Baylor transfer Y."

It also frustrates the hell out of me every time a malcontent from a 1-A school announces that he's not happy, and immediately every 1-AA board in the country lights up with fans with chubbies over the idea of landing a new savior for their program. We are virtually begging for scraps from the 1-A ranks, and it just looks bad.

But for now, it is what it is, so I will hope that MSU gets the best of the 1-A transfers, and that they allow us to be successful. In a perfect world, though, I would like for the entire process to be different for everybody.
