I like all the action we are getting from recruiting in Wisconsin. And I really hope we can stay strong at TE. It seems like wise use of TEs can cover for some of our struggles at QB and WR by taking short passes over the middle. I would like to see us make more use of TEs for these simple plays.
What does that have to do with this year? Seriously?
Believe it or not, the quarterbacks and wideouts from "the last eight years" are fresh out of eligibility...
Edit: ^^^^^ Wry humor, not "condescending". Figured I needed to point that out. :wink:

According to Paul Clark at CR, Nebraska is "a little ahead of Iowa State right now based on its tradition." This is from Paul's interview with Elmore. The "a little ahead" is a quote from Elmore, not Paul's opinion. Lots of other stuff in the article, but it is a pay site so I won't go any further.
If you don't understand that chances decrease when they visit some high-profile program then you don't understand statistics or human nature. It's no guarantee that they will go there but it definitely decreases the chances of going to ISU.
If I had a nickel for every guy we've recruited who was projected to play a Percy harvin type role
I'm not too worried because I have a feeling that Brun is going to have a good year and show that ISU is a destination for TEs not only to see the field soon, but have an active role in passing and blocking. People forget that Bibbs coming here over OU was probably more attributed to the fact their TE had a handful of catches all season and seeing the field would be more difficult there. I would love it to be his love for the clones but lets not kid ourselves.

Actually, they were in high school and junior high. In other words, they have absolutely nothing to do with the performance of the last eight years.
Im expecting Colin Franklin numbers out of Brun this year. Richardson will need someone to lean on as Bundrage, Ecby and West grow into better feature receivers. Brun is certainly capable of it.
Dont get me wrong... I hope we have a bunch of true freshman playmakers. But we haven't seen a consistent passing game in years. I can see why some people are pesimistic on the ability for this years team to change that
