COMMITMENT: Iowa State adds former Wisconsin OL Dylan Barrett

[cycloneML]

Lot of refugees fleeing Madison right now. Fickel has been a disaster so far.

Plenty of lifelong UW Badger fans were disgusted by what they did to Chryst and hope Fickel and the AD fall on their face.

I’ll hope for the best, but I think it’s extremely optimistic to assume we could afford a transfer capable of starting, even on our line.

Certainly not a bad addition though.

So it seems that several people in the know say our current and past o-line's have really struggled getting low and getting push...

How does adding a third string B1G lineman whos 6'5" + help that? Any film that shows he can get low?

I'm not sure if it's about 'getting low' as it is driving with the hips.

ISU's OL and DL imo seem to be practically standing straight up.

Don’t know anything about this kid, don’t know how much he played or how he graded out, but he is for sure an upgrade over what ISU has.

Looks like he played a grand total of six snaps this year. Kind of hard to say “for sure”.

To counterbalance that, UW has signed loads and loads of blue chip OL for years, so it’s not like anyone on their depth chart is going to be horrible.

He had a good offer list out of HS. Hopefully Clayton can coach up his potential and at a minimum add depth to the center position.
