    From Rhoads Himself

    Agreed. We will hire the right guy when he is found. We just need to be patient.

    Anyone think ISU should be looking at Zach Bohannen?

    My guess is that if Tyrone Appleton falls through, Kaylon Williams would probably be a decent option. The kid averages like 8 or 9 assists on top of 20 or so points.

    No way, no how! He is the project manager of the Jack Trice construction going on! He isn't going to give that one up! The guy already has three jobs!

    Moser is one of my faves of the past! He was just a playmaker, straight up!

    Yea I guess you could call Robinson a "walk-on" since he walked back onto the team after leaving or being kicked off or whatever it was. But he is on scholarship again now and was recruited to be on scholarship!

    We have really had a great walk-on program over they years. You can count on them to be good role players and occasionally turn into very good players. Nebraska's teams of the past had quite a few successful walk-ons that were key to getting them the title. Bryce Braaksma Lane Danielsen...

    Agreed, what I really like is the speed in the trenches. Yes average speed might be nearly equal but this is where I notice the difference. O Line! Joe King 4.9 David Grant 5.0 Adrin Haughton 4.9 Ethan Tuftee 5.08 Mac Guys...

    How important are recruiting rankings?

    I think stars do matter to a certain extent but are stressed more than they should be. A lot of the five star and four star guys turn out to be nothing! It is really all about coaching, yes some guys are naturally more gifted than others and they are obvious stars, but others aren't and it...

    New Year's Day commitment?

    KMAC, you have to remember that LB was our most heavily recruited position last year! We have Bell, Matthews, Mathis and Green. Add Ferguson in there for next year and I really feel pretty good about what we have. We have a young crew of LB's! The only senior this year will be Bibbs, other...

    New Year's Day commitment?

    I think a lot of teams do a bit of it, the key is to have someone with the game speed that they can keep up if they add some weight. The problem with some of our guys in the past was that they were undersized and we were playing them on the line. Tyson Smith was never a good size for a DE...

    Agreed! But that is how it works, you build S to LB, LB to DE, DE to DT! Sometimes TE to DL, often TE to OL!
