Absolutey. Not since Majors's and then Bruce's staffs in the '70's. These guys are outstanding.
Camp battles
- Thread starter CYCLNST8
- Start date
I’ve said since he was recruited that if Foster was ever our LT, it was not a good sign.
I hope that Kempt throws a "boat load" of short passes..... to Kene Nwangwu, David Montgomery, ReAl Mitchell, Tarique Milton, Deshaunte Jones, and Johnnie Lang. Get the ball to them (with some space) and let them due their thing.
I think the Cyclone nickname started in the 1890's . . .
So you're a youngster, eh???
I’m suprised at his ability to use any technology at his age.

Oh gosh, I meant the Seneca years.
They went on to have success in the NFL after great careers at ISU so they should certainly be in anyone's top 3. Seneca was the best athlete and could really throw well on the run. But at 5'10" he wasn't always able to see the open receiver. Sage had a great senior year but never beat any teams that were ranked. Plus 2 of his wins came against bad Iowa and Colorado teams.
Kempt's decision-making puts him at the top. He knows where to throw the ball to give the receiver a chance. He keeps his cool even when the game is on the line. He takes what the defenses give him, and consequently, ISU went from a horrible 3rd down team under Park to a great 3rd down team all in the same season.
I say you have to go with how they preformed for us. Using playing in the NFL isn't always the best. You have David Archer, who even though he was a 2 year NFL starter, I wouldn't say he was a great quarterback at any level. He knew where tracy henderson was and would just get it in his direction.
That’s a difference. But some of you must not have seen Seneca”s pass protection...if you can call it that.
That's a good point on the travel roster. The only TRFR that actually travel would probably be the ones in the two-deep. I would guess that most will still have a game available for a bowl game. I wonder if there are travel size limitations for bowls...guessing not.
You just described Kempt also. Many of his throws last year were horrible and Lazard made him look great. Should definitely be the starter, but the best in the last 35 years is ridiculous.

Exactly what I was going to reply. Kempt did an awesome job last year, was a great manager and did throw some really nice passes, but Lazard made a lot of circus catches last year. Don't know if anyone else is as capable of doing that. We will see.
LT may be his best position. My point is that if he’s the starting LT, we’re in trouble.
Isn't it Jack Whitver who takes partial credit for "the run" by not getting open and forcing Seneca to scramble?
Kempt has put on what 15-20 lbs? He says he's worked hard this offseason to improve his arm strength. That coupled with an improved offensive line and more tailback and tight end options should put him in a great position to succeed. I think big things are ahead and only if KK gets hurt does he not start all the games.
Jamal Montgomery was the primary receiver and he slipped and fell at the top of his break.
He struggled last year but he's still young. I'm not going to write off the kid, especially considering he was a top 350 recruit
Has anyone heard anything about Josh Jonhson? Wide receiver room seems pretty crowded,but he's been relatively quiet after red shirting last year.
I've heard this guy is one of the best route runners we have. Problem is he's just buried on the depth chart at that position. Behind Jones, I can see Milton and Johnson splitting some reps.
