Jeff Jones

I'm not so sure we're in a position to be making comments like these, considering Minny had 8 wins last season.
He is 3 spots ahead of Lazard overall in Rivals rankings. He would be an absolutely HUGE get.
There's always need for talent. Get the guy on campus and sort out position and playing time later. Injuries and attrition are a part of collegiate sports, so if there's a even a slight chance at landing a player like Jeff Jones then the staff should be doing whatever they can to bring him in.
Good weight is pretty hard and that much weight can't go on fast without losing speed. Also, no need for him to play fullback since we likely won't use one much if at all. If we can have an effective, fast, 6 ft 210-215 lb rb thats plenty good in my eyes
To those saying we have higher areas of need, you do realize this kid is 44th best player in the nation, right? I'm not talking about the state, or the region...the NATION. We all lost our **** when Lazard committed here, and righfully so, but this kid is a higher rated prospect than Lazard. If he's interested we will take him, position of need or not.
Exactly. Plus, we have a new OC and RB coach, so hopefully the days of playing musical RBs are over and Mangino will have an actual method to getting them all involved.
So when Trey Scott says he isn't returning ISU's calls, does that mean he is still interested?
4 out of 8 wins for them were against joke teams and you could argue 2 out of our 3 wins were the same
I'm always amazed at the perception some of our fans have at ISU. they must just see our jerseys and think we are USC instead of ISU.
I meant WVU wasn't a joke. They weren't very good but they did beat Okie State and were competitive at Oklahoma
Not a single one of them is in a power conference or was even in the positive in wins last year. It's a little easier to get to 8 wins when your playing in the big 10 and get 4 con conference games against those teams. I'm not saying we're better I'm saying that I've grown up a gopher fan my whole life and the gophers have always been a laughing stock.
I'd agree that they were decent early in the season, but were torn down by injuries (sounds really familiar.) When we played them, did they have a non-gimpy QB?
