I like that this staff prefers to recruit defensive backs that are taller than me.

That's not a huge challenge.

I wonder how this class is going to end up. How many kids are they going to take? They seem to have quite a few they are still after/in need of and we already have 15

Good size and good tackler, average quickness. I see him playing our hybrid type safety/OLB spot.

Nice pick up!

No it isn't. But expecting munchkins to defend against giant receivers and tight ends is.

Besides Tribune, I'd have a difficult time recalling a DB Rhoads recruited that was above 6'

Tribune is only 5'10.

He recruited a couple guys that were over 6 feet. Not many but off the top of my head Cliff Stokes, Jay Jones, and Lawrence White were all taller than that.

tackling is huge. I've seen enough broken tackles against ISU football to last a lifetime.

It's hard to recall Kamari Cotton-Moya?

No; it's just a lot easier to recall Iowa State's long history of vertically challenged players.

Jeremy Reeves
JJ Moses
Ellis Hobbs
Leonard Johnson
James Smith
Jarvis West
Todd Miller

Et cetera...

Well I counted 18 DB commits since 2010 who were 5'11 or taller. I'm sure there are 50-75 others who were recruited and didn't commit that were that height. Rhoads had plenty of faults, but the constant bagging on him in every ******* football thread is really played out. ISU football was bad before him. He didn't kill the program. And not one Campbell recruit has won a game at ISU yet.

Was a big, big fan of Jeremy Reeves. When he took Texas Tech's onside kick back for a td that was epic.

I agree, these guys are terrible! Fire Campbell!

Yeah, those guys were horrible.

I don't care if you're 6'4" or 5'4". If you can play ball, you can play ball.

I will agree that referencing CPR all of the time is kind of weird. He's gone.

No disagreement here. I played linebacker at 5'6" in high school, but I would have loved to have been about six inches taller.

So some of the best players ISU has had were short?

I'll take all of them again and 10 more like them.

Why have the coaches not tweeted anything about this? Maybe I just missed if but usually the coaches are tweeting stuff out with every commitment
