At least when he looks a recruit and their mother in the eye and says he will be here for them, it will be true.
Boosters/L Johnson behind Rhoads
- Thread starter Palmer
- Start date
Pezetti has sent a fair number of kids to ISU also, Scott Cole, Jim Thompson, Ted Clapper, Chris Peterson and currently Hulbert to name a few. Hopefully we can get some kickers from here as Ankeny is losing an all-stater this year but a freshman coming up may be better than him. Good point about Albaugh. Denny has always been a huge supporter of Ankeny football and this hire certainly can't hurt the prospects for getting that south end zone filled in.
exactly.
lot of possible positives about this hire....
I will be interested to see what he has to say at the presser/and at the game tonight
huge sigh of relief that it wasn't Stoops.... VERY smart hire.... I haven't posted much at all on the coaching fiasco, but here is a glimmer of optimism for next year using an example of what happened here in CO this year... this season, Steve Fairchild, a relative unknown in college football, took over the CSU program that had completely bottomed out under now-retired Sonny Lubick, who went 3-9 in his last year. Fairchild got the Rams to 6-6 and a bowl berth in his first year in Ft Collins. I'm not comparing Fairchild to Rhoads, just want to point out that with the right staff and players who buy into a system, this thing can be turned around quicker than the "half decade" setback that M&M and others have been talking about.
how much of the recruiting class can Rhoads maintain? I haven't been following the rumor mill much... obviously 100% would be great, but I'm sure there will be some backing away.
I doubt that Rhoads would want them all. I hope not. Chizik has finished last or next-to-last in the Big XII recruiting, and this year was turning out no better. Hopefully we see an upgrade under Rhoads.
im expecting to see only 1 or 2 decommits from the HS players... i really dont know what to expect with Taylor Martin and Troy Butler the JUCO teammates. they both opened their recruitment up, but i think we still can reel them back in. we need Butler and Martin because they can step in and play right away a 2 of our weakest positions.
