RECRUITING: Football commits

[rholtgraves]

Good move for him. Get to a program right away instead of another year at JUCO.

 

[Clonefan32]

This is awesome. Big time recruit that can help this year.

 

[Gerbs]

Wow what a great and unexpected signing. Wonder if he'll redshirt this year or if he signed now bc he thinks he can get immediate pt

 

[Brandon]

Big time get. Great for depth this year!

 

[CYCLNST8]

So he hasn't redshirted yet? Think he'll play or wait this fall?

He has 4 years to play 3, so didn't redshirt last year.

Yeah... I got that part. I guess I was more interested in an answer to the second half of my question.

 

[SimpsonCyclone]

Wow and he's eligible this fall.
Big time get for this coaching staff. These guys are amazing.

I'd say that's why you reclassify, to get on campus and compete for a spot this year.
On paper it looks like we have decent OL depth this year so may you plan to redshirt but hope that he's ready to go if needed.

[ComCY]

I think the only thing he'd redshirt for is learning and getting up to B12 speed... no reason to redshirt to put on weight. That's a big boy right there...

I'd bet he plays a little this season.

 

[CyBlitz]

They can play four games and still redshirt due to new rule change right

3.9999999 it is or maybe 13.0 time will tell.

I don't believe we can afford to redshirt him.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

I think our starting line is going to be bigger than Iowa's when it comes to sheer size and weight. These guys are all huge.

Would someone dare to compare?

I'll see if I can't find their updated weights. *shutters* I have to go to the dark place... Don't judge me friend.

 

[clonedude]

I don't think you can judge too much just on size. Nearly everyone has huge OL's nowadays. Even MAC teams. Heck, even UNI. Being 6'5" and 300+ is pretty much the average now.

Ya, maybe it doesn't really warrant the effort especially when my message I was working on got delelted through my multi-tude of tabs searching information.

Either way from what I can see they are very similar, and we may even be larger if Foster and Knipfel are starters. We will dwarf most lines, with 3 guys over 6'7''.

Size and weight aren't everything but ISU hasn't always had the luxury of large bodies as we do now.

Whattttttttt? You can teach technique, add some muscle / quickness and improve on toughness, BUT size coming in as freshmen is the key to everything in my humble [cough, hack] opinion.
