You have to love the size this staff has recruited in the secondary. It wasn't that long ago when the average height was 5'10".
"I am choosing Iowa State for a few different reasons, one being how comfortable I feel when I am there. It's almost like I am at home.
I love the staff, and I can also tell they love me. Probably the biggest reason I know they have genuine love for me was when they first offered me.
Safeties coach Deon Broomfield was the one who offered me, and we had that immediate bond. He found my film and wanted the staff see it.
They really, really wanted me to get up there for a visit.
When I got up to Ames, the love was different. I was the first corner there, and it made me feel like I was a top priority for them.
I feel like we are all working towards the same goal — to win."

I'm glad to nab one away from Neal Brown. He's building something up there.
Guys like Reeves got the job done but youre absolutely right, it is nice seeing this staff look for guys with Noble’s size measurements

I'm always surprised when we get kids from FL/GA/AZ/even TX to an extent, to commit to playing in Ames IA and live up here during the winter months. Has to be some of the most insane culture shock known to man
Kind of like any non-Floridian visiting Florida.
I once bumped into a new student from Bermuda, outside Helser. It was a “chilly” day in September, temps in the fifties—and he was shivering like it was ten below.
He asked me if he should buy a leather jacket to keep warm when winter hit.
I said no. I suggested a parka.
