As expected . . .
Dominique Douglas, Cedric Everson and Abe Satterfield are gone, officially, according to a University of Iowa release.
Here it is:
HAWKEYES LOSE THREE PLAYERS
IOWA CITY, IA – University of Iowa Football Coach Kirk Ferentz has announced that three members of his Hawkeye football squad have decided to transfer. The three players, Dominique Douglas, Cedric Everson and Abe Satterfield will leave the University of Iowa.
Ferentz had the following statement:
“Dominique Douglas, Cedric Everson and Abe Satterfield have decided to transfer from the University of Iowa and will continue their collegiate football careers elsewhere. None of the three will be on Iowa’s roster when classes resume in January.”
Douglas is a 6-1, 190-pound sophomore wide receiver from Detroit. He was Iowa’s leading receiver as a true freshman with 49 catches for 654 yards. Everson is a 6-1, 175-pound freshman defensive back from Detroit. He played in five games this past season and had one tackle. Satterfield is a 6-1, 180-pound freshman defensive back from Erie, PA.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
No big shock on any of these.
Two arrests during the season pretty much doomed Dominique Douglas, who still faces sentencing after pleading his unauthorized use of a credit card (a Class D felony) down to an aggravated misdemeanor.
Everson and Satterfield stopped practicing with the team in mid-October after Ferentz said they were no longer in good standing. They never returned but Ferentz never gave a reason
for the decision.
Everson was considered one of the top "gets" in last year's recruiting class. The cornerback was a last-minute decommit from Michigan State.
Douglas, what more can you say? He's a talented wide receiver. He would've helped last year's team in a lot of ways, obviously. He threw it all away. His Facebook page says he might be headed to Rutgers. Priorities. He needs to have a few before stepping foot on another football field.
Everson and Satterfield were corners, so this is probably why Iowa has three corners already committed in this class, Shaun Prater, Demarco Paine and Jack Swanson.
There hasn't been any official word on freshman running back Jevon Pugh, who, the Quad City Times reported, is also gone. That would leave Iowa without a running back on the roster who has carried the ball in a game.
That's why you now see juco RB Nate Guillory and RB Jewel Hampton. And that's why a few more RBs might be on the way. And don't forget Shonn Greene, who may or may not return from academic limbo.
No word on Anthony Bowman. Educated guess, he'll probably be back this spring.
It's a long way to Feb. 6, when the national signing period begins. Applications are still being accepted, especially at RB.
