We only have 5 players at safety and free safety. We also need depth at wr for next year so look for Kevonte M-Manely to play a little. We will also need a big DT for next year and Carl Davis might fill that need. And of course, everyone's favorite, A.J. Derby at linebacker.

Wasn't VanSloten in there a week ago?

We have to get ready for next year with huge holes to fill. Special teams will help get them ready.

A couple of really good years and a couple of really bad years thrown in. I believe over the years their offensive average is 62nd or 63rd out of the 118 - 120 D1 teams in the country. Where as Norm's defenses are in the top 20 over the years. Just saying our O has struggled over the years when we have had some good O lines.

With our senior dominated O line last year and our mediocre O ranking last year, I have some reservations about this year.

It is difficult enough for the ISU's, Kansas or Iowa to recruit top level talent being in premier leagues. The best kids want to play on the big stages and if you don't have an invitation to that stage, your not going to get a look from them. If Iowa was in the MAC, how well would they recruit then?

His penalty was going to ESPN. You would think some of this stuff would follow the coach.

Also, ISU's long term perception is at stake. ie; alumni athletic donations and school donations.

Ferentz is always big on the guys who have been with the program the longest during spring ball. The new guys always have to go thru summer conditioning and fall camp to even be in the mix. I'll bet a beer or two that a couple of the following guys have something to say about the lineup; MacMillan, Orn or Hundermark. Am I the only one hearing that this group of O linemen have a little bit of a nasty attitude and like to mix it up?

Many with little quips from BA. Remember the Cheers episode where Norm goes to work at a brewery and Norm is hugging the vat? That's Marc.

Size seems to be in vs. the build them bigger route. With 330 OTs that route seems logical. Ballard is not a small man, nor Clayborn. The new DTs are big and mobile.

If he does get bigger and he continues to improve on his reading the blocks like he did at the end of the year, he has the most upside. Hampton runs nasty, but it's more like 18 mos to two years on a new knee. A Rob's red shirt helped him to emerge last year.
