Moss could end up being a good player.
ISU’s OL for sure will have the ability. It’ll be interesting to see if they are ready.
I'd say Moss is in good position to be the guy opposite, but I wouldn't count out Julius Brents or Terry Roberts yet.
I think this hurts worse at the Cash position. He provided some depth behind Belton there.
It's crazy he has 4 picks in 6 starts. For reference, ISU's best returning CB has 0 picks in 17 starts. Kid is a straight up ball-hawk. Going to be fun to watch who gets that second CB spot in Iowa City, although I think Brents gets it, my hometown boy Riley will be a solid backup.
Hankins and Brents should be the starters.
Moss and Terry Roberts are next in line there so we have 3 guys that have started at least 5 games at corner in their career.
It seems like every year a freshman is out there with our secondary playing some type of role. There is a little talk on Hawkeye Report that Jermari Harris has looked good, he will be a RS freshman this season.
As far as ISU's OL, there is not a worse time to miss spring ball then when you are trying to break in a mostly new offensive line.
If I recall, several fans used him as a whipping boy a few years back. Had some picks but must have been beat several times.
I mostly agree.
If practice is able to start when I think it will, they’ll be fine though.
All corners get beat, and all young guys that get beat have mouthbreather fans rag on them online. A lot of my posts like that are tongue in cheek and over the top on purpose (look who I'm talking to), but in actuality Riley was a damn solid player as a true sophomore. Also have heard he's one of the faster guys on the team and has pretty good agility, so the framework is there. He might not become a first team all conference player for us, but at worst he is a solid backup that I don't lose sleep over if the guy in front goes down. At best, he turns into a multi-year starter for us. When healthy, I think Brents would get the nod, but hard to say where he is at right now in his progression after last year.
That's weird, I figured it would be the same as your HR handle. Not a twitter guy but I'll keep an eye out.
Again, it’s my opinion that Moss will be a solid player.
I’d be lying if I said I have watched him play much at Iowa though.
Other than recruiting profiles, I don’t know much about Brents or Roberts.
We really don't either at this point. Brents had some flashes as a true freshman, but also struggled at times as did Moss. No idea on T. Roberts.
