They need to find a coach first. Otherwise the portal will not pay dividends.. Dec 5th is going to be nutsThis staff needs to hit the offensive line hard in the portal.

Eh, not sure I'd trust the staff on O-Line stuff right now with the history of that position here under themGood write up. Cupboard is not bare at OL as the staff is pretty bullish on Tyler Maro, Hunter Deyo, and D Hasert was a big time recruit. I think we should go after 1-2 OL tho as I believe one or two will leave. LB we are set at, tons of talent there. Go after a stud WR and a RB
He's been hurt all year. First three games were 100+ yards, one of them against Iowa. He just needs to be healthy.I don't think we really need an RB. Norton has looked good the last few games. I think he should be the guy going forward. I really feel bad for Brock. He reminds me of Mike Warren. He's been loyal to ISU through everything he just doesn't seem to be able to get it done. I wonder if he would be better off in a different system. I wouldn't want him to leave but from what I've seen Norton plays more like Hall and seems much more explosive than Brock.
I really like the small bits of Norton ive seen. He's picked up 3 different injuries this year already though. Talent is there but im a bit nervous on his ability to stay healthyHe's been hurt all year. First three games were 100+ yards, one of them against Iowa. He just needs to be healthy.
That position just takes a lot of wear and tear. Breece was a bit of a unicorn in that regard. Sad that it caught up with him his rookie year.I really like the small bits of Norton ive seen.

This staff needs to hit the offensive line hard in the portal.
We've heard about young offensive linemen coming up for the last few years, and still no improvement.I agree that returning starters isn't reason to pencil those guys in as starters for 2023. But having potentially 4 starters back is a solid compliment to young guys like Maro, Bonifas, Akinshilo, etc. making big steps in the off-season.
Plus, I am hoping a change at OL Coach has a big impact on the development of the 15+ returning OL on the current roster.
The best you can hope for is a new OL Coach develops the current roster players.We've heard about young offensive linemen coming up for the last few years, and still no improvement.
The best case scenario for next season is a new OL coach that can get more out of the current group, and at least 1 or 2 starters are from the portal.
Norton with a year of strength training in the winter I feel allows him to catapult Brock. No slight at Brock I just don't like his ability to make people miss against good competition.I really like the small bits of Norton ive seen.

I think its a total grand slam if you can land 2 OL in the portal and hire a new OL coach who knows what he's doing. OL are like portal bigs in basketball. Gonna be very hard to land a good oneThe best you can hope for is a new OL Coach develops the current roster players.
IMO OL is a position it is hard to find portal guys who can step in and start right away. And if we can, probably 1 guy.
Apparently it’s not true…I heard Howard Brown entered the transfer portal
Maybe he will be in the QB conversation next year.......Apparently it’s not true…
Or at least our 4th and short solution.Maybe he will be in the QB conversation next year.......
