architects and kansas city based hntb are the project architects i m not even going to speak to that a timeline until we know where this last pricing comes in and we make sure everything is in order meyer said earlier this week athletics director gary barta said the utility project will lead to carver s renovation the actual carver project hasn t gone to bid yet he said it s a precursor it s a

in rushing with 1 064 yards on 168 attempts and scored 13 touchdowns with derby s frame and versatility many wonder if colleges are recruiting derby as a quarterback then switch him to tight end linebacker or safety other speculation involves whether derby could play the role of a running quarterback like florida s tim tebow everyone is recruiting me for quarterback derby said some schools want him as a running quarterback and some don t some want me to be a pocket passer it s kind of a little of both derby also faces outside pressure to remain with the hometown school iowa his father john was an all big ten linebacker at iowa his older brother zach plays tight end at iowa they tell me to go iowa all the time derby said of his friends these coaches baseball coaches from cedar rapids kennedy were trying to tell me to go to iowa after the game i m kind of used to it my dad just said do what you think is right for yourself and don t just do what he wants but do what i want i

basketball have only a few select scholarships open each year once they re gone those scholarships aren t coming back iowa had four open scholarships for 2010 in fall 2008 sioux falls s d roosevelt forward cody larson committed to iowa shortly thereafter chanse creekmur from marshalltown committed and later decommitted in march when four iowa players left the program iowa suddenly had four available scholarships for the 2010 season one obviously is on hold for larson but within the last month iowa secured three commitments while somewhat playing those recruits against others mundelein ill guard ben brust was the first to jump on board picked iowa over northwestern and butler on july 1 then in stunning fashion iowa nabbed detroit s roy marble jr son of the school s all time leading scorer roy marble one day later marble who had several offers from mid majors and had looks from michigan and michigan state was interested in other schools but was comfortable with iowa he didn t want to risk losing a scholarship to play the scholarship waiting game elsewhere i committed early because kids are starting to commit early he said because i had some idea i wanted to be a hawk i didn t want them to take my scholarship and give it to somebody else mccabe became a summer camp superstar receiving scholarship offers from minnesota arizona state utah northwestern and other schools in the region he received an offer from iowa in march but wanted to wait almost to validate his commitment he knew iowa had only one scholarship left for his class and he couldn t leave the coaches hanging forever i think for me it was kind of nerve wracking for a little while he said but i was excited when iowa got ben brust and roy marble jr i played against ben brust in a tournament in chicago he s a very good guard of course i know about cody larson he s very athletic i m just excited just knowing those other players are coming in take our poll all of iowa s 2010 recruits also received boosts from people connected with the iowa program marble jr s dad is the only player to score more than 2 000 for iowa mccabe s former high school teammate brennan cougill will be a freshman this fall at iowa brust is good friends with cully payne who also is an incoming freshman larson grew up in the same town as wisconsin s joe krabbenhoft who told larson that iowa s program was headed in the right direction iowa could have other scholarships open up in 2010 if someone leaves the team early here s a look at iowa s class of 2010 and their numbers last year roy marble jr a 6 foot 5
