This week has been tough on Spring (Tex.) Westfield offensive lineman Cordel Iwuagwu. While his teammates are out knocking each other's heads around, Iwuagwu has been nursing an injury. All while several college coaches have travel through the doors of that program in hopes of finding the players needed to add to their college rosters for the next couple of years.
But for Iwuagwu, this is where things have not been bad at all. In fact, it could actually be his best week yet.
"I have offers from Iowa State, Nevada and Houston, and I got Purdue this morning."
This was what the 6-foot-3, 285-pound Iwuagwu said on Monday evening. By the end of the week, things had drastically changed.
According to the high school coach of Iwuagwu, TCU, Northwestern, Fresno State, Tulsa, Louisiana-Lafayette and Tulane have all extended offers as of this past week.
What are the coaches seeing in Iwuagwu to draw all of this attention?
"I'm real explosive off the ball. I power clean 315, and I just broke a record the other day," Iwuagwu said. "I can also hold my own in the pass rush."
Iwuagwu continued as he shared some of the feedback he has been getting here as of late.
"I played on the strong side and we ran to my side mostly. I gave up no sacks and I had a pretty good season," Iwuagwu said. "I was told I was being recruited for the interior, so strong guard or quick guard. Either works for me, but I prefer the strong."
So far through the process, Iwuagwu has made two trips: Texas and Houston. He gave high praise to both stops. And even though things in recruiting can change by the second, Iwuagwu said that he is still looking over all options as it pertains to his recruitment.
Even more so, he's not sure where his next stop will be either.
"I'm in the running for everyone and still looking around. I have no idea where I'm going next," Iwuagwu said. "I need to get with my parents. They're schedule is real tight and I'm not sure how all of that will work."
Iwuagwu said that in another week or two he should be back ready to get to work as he gets over his injury, which he said was a left shoulder sprain. He has been diligent in his treatments and said when he returns that working on his run blocking will be one of the first things he addresses.

Clary Sage College switches to Wella Professional Color Line
"Our students and faculty are excited to have Wella's education program and innovative Color.id technology,"
The innovative Color.id technology allows stylists to apply color next to color without foils, delivering supreme color results without the risk of bleeding.
According to their website, Wella began in 1924 to aid in wig making and quickly developed into a worldwide beauty leader. From developing the first hair dryers with built in motors in 1930 to launching the new Color.id technology in 2013, innovation is the heart of Wella.
"Wella has been around for many years, just like barbering, and we are excited to be a part of all the new and exciting technology that Wella has to offer," said Paula Matthews, Barber Department Head.
CSC is excited for the opportunities this switch will bring to our students.

Female American Staffordshire/English bulldog
2 yrs old; 40 lbs
This pint-sized girl was surrendered to the shelter with her previous owner citing 'works too much,' but it was later revealed that Madeline and the other dogs she was turned in with had been living on a tether. Madeline has quickly become a staff and volunteer favorite with her undeniably cute underbite and soulfully sweet eyes.
Madeline was a tiny 45 lbs when she arrived, which was fortunate since she had never learned how to walk on a leash and was overwhelmed by the noise and activity of shelter life. It appears as if she had very little appropriate human family interaction, yet she was lovable towards people and did fine with dogs and cats in the shelter.
Madeline was in desperate need of an adoptive or foster home to give her the chance to live in an environment filled with human compassion and and nurturing companionship so that she could develop her self-confidence. Otherwise, she was not going to make it out of the shelter.
Madeline soon gained another fan. The volunteer shelter photographer took some time after a shelter photo session to study her subject. No longer restrained at the end of ropes or chains, Madeline seemed to look hopefully beyond the chain link fencing of her shelter home, as her new friend sat patiently next to her in the shelter play yard. Ashley spends two Saturdays a month sharing the gift of her photography with the shelter dogs and seemingly capturing the very essence of their spirit in hopes of revealing them to the world. But, as she peered through the lens one day, it was the photographer who was captured. Unbeknownst to both of them, Ashley would soon come to play a huge part in saving Madeline's life.
Unable to get Madeline off of her mind, Ashley carried her out of the shelter one day soon after, filled with hope that she could teach Madeline that good things do happen and that there was so much more to be discovered.
In foster care a month after arriving at the shelter, Madeline still could not even walk on a leash and was hesitant to follow anyone for a distance. She had yet to comprehend that the limits she once knew were no longer a daily part of her life, or at all. She was still tethered in spirit.
Fast-forward almost 4 months later, and Madeline now walks on a leash. She sleeps on her foster sister, Priscilla, a Weimaraner. She plays and is joyful and brings joy to those around her. Now it is time for Madeline to move onto a loving and patient home that she can call her own, filling it with delight and reward as her family witnesses her continue to blossom into the beautiful companion that she was always meant to be.
Madeline's is current on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. She tested low positive for heartworms and can stay on monthly heartworm preventative, which is required for all dogs, anyway.

The compensation scheme that protects savers if their bank or building society goes bust was beefed up this week in the wake of the Northern Rock debacle.
As of October 1, you are guaranteed all of the first £35,000 of your savings money back. Previously, you were only sure to get 100% of the first £2,000 and 90% of the next £33,000 if your bank or building society went belly-up.
This is designed to be an interim measure, because the government intends to bring in legislation which would mean up to £100,000 of savers' money is protected.
So, if you've got less than £35,000 in an account, you can relax. If you have more than this amount tied up in one bank or society, and you are worried about the possibility of another Northern Rock-style collapse, now may be the time to think about finding another home for some of it. In fact, this may be a good time to check whether your cash is earning the best rate that it can.
"Spreading your savings around a number of accounts, while in my view a bit of an overkill, is a perfectly sensible strategy ... Yet be very careful not to unduly sacrifice interest rates for safety. If you're lucky enough to have very substantial savings, remember the likelihood of a bank going bust is tiny," says Martin Lewis at MoneySavingExpert.com.
It is important to remember that the protection you receive under the compensation scheme is not per account but per financial institution. Things can get complicated when you bear in mind that some banks are owned by others, and that in some cases, all the different arms of a group count as one institution. For example, the HBOS group includes the Halifax, which uses singing employee Howard Brown in its ads, plus Bank of Scotland, Birmingham Midshires and Intelligent Finance. Birmingham Midshires also provides savings accounts for Saga and the AA. However, for the purposes of the compensation scheme, all six of these count as one institution, says Mr Lewis.
So if, for example, you had £35,000 in a Halifax account, £35,000 in a Birmingham Midshires account and £35,000 in an AA account, and HBOS went bust (which, let's face it, isn't going to happen), you would only get one lot of £35,000 protection. The same also applies to the Co-operative Bank and Smile. However, in the case of the Royal Bank of Scotland group, which also includes NatWest and half of Tesco Personal Finance, you get a separate helping of protection for each of these three savings providers (just to muddy the waters further, Direct Line, another part of the group, doesn't count as a separate institution).
Northern Rock is, of course, a slightly different case. Last month the government announced it was guaranteeing all deposits in Northern Rock, though it later emerged that this only applied to accounts in existence at midnight on September 19, new deposits in existing accounts and accounts re-opened by customers who had pulled out their cash between September 13 and 19.
The official deadline for customers who wanted to reinvest money that they withdrew and receive a refund of any penalty charges, was yesterday. However, a bank spokeswoman says: "We will take each case on its merits and be sympathetic to late applications during the next week."
If you are looking for somewhere to stash your cash, there is no shortage of accounts paying more than 6% gross interest. Fixed-rate savings bonds offer some of the very best returns - Anglo Irish Bank has a one-year bond paying 6.9%, while Derbyshire building society's one-year bond and the Halifax's two-year product pay 6.85% and 6.75% respectively, according to financial data provider Moneyfacts.
When it comes to online accounts, Bradford & Bingley is top of the heap with its Internet Saver paying 6.4%, while Landsbanki's Icesave account and the AA are both offering 6.3%.
There are a number of notice accounts paying good rates. Nottingham building society has a postal account where you can access your cash with 60 days' notice; it pays 6.45%. However, the minimum deposit is £1,000. And Chelsea building society has a 30-day notice account paying 6.4% on £250-plus.

Lazy, complacent, boring and inconsistent. Who am I? If you're a private practice lawyer, you might want to look away now – according to various in-house counsel, these words describe a private practice partner during a pitch. Meow.
The round-up of leading GC opinion kicks off a forthcoming series from The Lawyer, analysing the nuts and bolts mechanics of panel review processes. Some of the biggest bug-bears from leading GCs include complacency, laziness and marketing waffle, while long responses and "not working out when you are boring the client" also come in for criticism.
Particularly caustic was one GC who slammed law firms for not being open and honest about their weak spots, commenting: "It is very disappointing when the chat is better than the legal work. Law firms shouldn't simply rely on their supposed reputations and their positions in the directories."
Readers have been firing from all cylinders too, with one commenting that big law firms reward salesman rather than lawyers. "They are run by puffmeisters for puffmeisters," the reader – dubbed 'Realist' – said.
But private practice girls and boys, dry your eyes – law firms had their own list of complaints about corporate behaviour during panel reviews. Rile yourself up with a read of this week's feature, Partners on Parade.

The disputes chief of UBS Wealth, Philippa Simmons, has been named as Lloyds Banking Group's (LBG) new head of legal disputes and contentious regulation
Real estate investment fund Ashby Capital has recruited a former Berwin Leighton Paisner corporate associate Tom Hill as in-house legal counsel
Along with the other world accountancy titans, Ernst & Young is considering launching a legal arm, says its GC for UK and Ireland, Lisa Cameron
