On Iowa with Marc Morehouse

Shonn Greene update (sort of)

One thing to keep in mind with Shonn Greene is that it's going to be a process.

He left school last summer and has been attending classes at Kirkwood CC ever since. I've made a big deal out of the fact that Greene hasn't carried a football in 18 games. But the bigger deal, probably, is that he hasn't worked out at Iowa since last June. He won't be in playing shape when he returns to Iowa this fall. (I don't think he'll be done at Kirkwood in time for summer workouts, so I'm not sure that will be an option.)

I heard a number on his weight Monday night that was about what I thought it'd be.

"We've got to be smart on how we bring him along," Kirk Ferentz said Monday night. "It's been a long time. If we run him to death early, he won't see October. . . . We just have to be sure we're smart about it when he gets back here."
