For sure 4th string. Even though he started every game last year ahead of every guy that is now going to beat him out.
Everyone take a deep breathe. I have not actually spoken to Campbell but I think it's obvious he likes his backers fast and athletic. Moving Seonbuchner to DE, is a strong sign that he likes to move his backers around and try to confuse the defense.
Here's why I think this won't be as damaging as some are saying. We now have Northrup and Jones in the open field tackling for us. Seonbuchner and Nerness gives us length and athleticism on the edges. Is losing a physical player good? No, but it's fairly obvious that Harvey, Jones, Northrup, Nerness, Seonbuchner are the kind of bodies and athletes who can get the job done. Both Tribune and Peavy tackle well, so I'm optimistic for once we may tackle well again. Spears, McMillen, Mills will need to be ready to play.

Disagree with this, both those guys had definitely shown they were big 12 players. They really came on at the end of the previous year and have done great things since. I don't think we'll see Harris in the NFL.
I'm pretty sure grad transfers aren't restricted by this, with that said, we aren't getting him.
I'd like to hear from the "didn't want him any way" crowd what players would hurt if they left. Maybe just put it on record. For those with any idea what they were talking about, Harris would have been on the list a week ago IMO.
You should prob not watch any games next year because all I've seen I doom and gloom..At least Seeley didn't have to RS his junior year because he couldn't grasp playing the actual position he's supposed to be playing..forgot to add Northrup as well. I never once said losing Harris doesn't have some effect..seems like every single thing I post you completely take to a level 10..go drink so beer man. Is it ideal losing Harris who by all accounts was passed over by Harvey? No as it affects depth..but it's not like we just lost Jake Knott for the year either..Harris was not good in pass coverage and struggled reading the QB..hence the reason he played a lot in a 3-4 and the year before in our 4-3 he had to RS..With moving to a mostly 4-2-5 I doubt he would even be 2nd string Mike. As for Seeley..I don't disagree with you to a certain extent but he can at least read pass plays.
Yes. To be closer to home. It isn't like Southern Miss is somehow much worse than us. They won 9 games last year.
Pretending this transfer doesn't hurt is denial to the Nth degree. All the rosy things being said about other backers were the same things said about Harris last fall.

I think I've been pretty fair in my thoughts of him transferring. Comparing Iowa State to a Conference USA team is stupid though, he's going a step down
I'm not comparing anything. He's going from the Big 12 conference to Conference USA. He's transferring a step down.
I would not have included Harris on that list..and that's being honest..it was known that he didn't have a good spring and was passed over. Moya..Peavy..Tucker..Any Olineman..Lanning..Warren..Lazard..Harvey..Payne..Those are guys we can't lose and woild really really suck to lose IMO. He was a returning senior LB who had to RS as a jr because he couldn't grasp the playbook and pass plays who didn't make an All big 12 team..sucks for depth but that's about all I feel.
Losing Harris hurts. Harvey may be a nice player and by all accounts was at a minimum pushing Harris to start. But anyone who thinks Seeley is a Big 12 caliber, or even D-I, linebacker must have been asleep in the last few years.
