Beau Freyler Commits!
- Thread starter cyclone4L
- Start date
We’ll graduate two of our three starting safeties. Every wide receiver except Landon Akers will be back, including a healthy Tarique Milton. Guys like Darien Porter will be better positioned to break through.
Exactly how to you plan to argue that WR is a bigger need?
I don’t think so. His routes aren’t crisp and I’m not so sure how good his hands are.
He has the athleticism forall the skill positions, but he fits best at Safety
It's not a knock at all bc the kid is a great athlete but you can tell from those highlights that he's a defensive player...and he's going to be a good one.
Guys like Scates have crazy potential, but need to learn how to run routes and properly line up before the snap or he won’t work out. If Scates can be as good next year as his recruiting ranking, then receivers will be our strength. If not, yikes. Remember that Kolar likely isn’t returning.
Yeah, Scates is frustrating. He has the talent to be a great player for us. But if he's jumping offsides and lining up wrong, he's not helping at a major position of need. Hopefully the staff can get through to him. WR is not a position that requires years of development to play. IMO if he can't figure it out by the end of the season, he may not ever at ISU.
Think my favorite part of that clip is when he’s returning the kick and just steamrolls over a dude trying to tackle him.
There are times I wonder when people using terms like “legit 4.4” realize that you round the hundredths to the nearest zero. Mainly because it would be just as easy to say “4.42”.
In Beau’s case it doesn’t matter, because whether he’s a 4.48 or a 4.42 right now, he’s still going to make for a great safety.
Jaylin Noel (ISU Commit) ran a 11.0s 100m as a Sophomore (and was injured). He has gotten faster from his sophomore to Senior season. I'd guess he'd be one of the faster players on the team next year.
I didn't mean WR versus safety from a graduating roster balance perspective, more of a talent perspective. We seem to be loaded in the pipeline at safety: the juco commited Langston, Chambers, and McDonald all likely are really good. Then we have 3 more years of Isheem Young assuming he doesn't go to the pros early (he may).
But if he's a better D guy, then so be it - regardless I feel this kid could make an early impact. Any kid that is offerred by wisconsin i am generally really excited about, they know how to recruit to defense at a really high level and put lots of guys in the league.

I’ll see your Langston, Chambers, McDonald and Young (and toss in Army for you), and raise with youngsters like Porter, Anderson, Jackson, Bitter, Michaud and Noel—and I’m not including a rehabbing James or an as-yet uncommitted Rhône.
Freyler just fits very well at safety. He basically cements the rotation.
Kind of reminds me of Nik Moser.

Try saying “the staff isn’t interested any more”, or “the kid seems to be looking elsewhere” without making flat out statements.
I saw a comment from him about coming up here a month or so on a tweet from TJ Tampa’s dad, so it would be nice to know that things have changed somewhere—rather than a pretense of omniscience.
I’ve been following recruiting one hell of a long time. No outsider knows exactly what’s going on in a 17 year old’s head.
What the heck, all of our recruits took a jump in ratings? This staff knows what they are doing!
Idk but when I look at this class, I certainly have movement.
51 to 50?
It’s the 247 rankings that got bumped, so minimal effect on the Composites. And everyone got them across the board.
