Fun Question: Pick a Rhoads Player

JG was an absolute banger, but I'm curious how he'd translate to our current d.
The best D coordinator in college football would figure it out.
Whenever I see Woody's name being mentioned I think of how much goal line dirty work Ryan Kock did years ago.
Side note…think it must be brought up from time to time. While it’s true, Jevohn Miller struggled mightily to fill in when we needed him due to injury, that dude was having a GREAT year until Oklahoma’s ******** chop block that went uncalled. Felt sick to my stomach for Miller on that play.
Anyway…carry on.
I feel like David Irving would be great on the defensive line for this team, assuming you can ignore his off the field troubles.
KO on offense... and I'll go Lanning. Just a tough dude, could be part of a wild-cat package while playing LB etc.
I do recall him improving into a serviceable LB'er. Big shoes to fill, certainly. Don't recall the chop black, that sucks.
Lanning...Rhoads guys I suppose, that played on Campbell teams as well.
yeah I considered him a Rhoads guy because he was recruited by that staff etc.
I was struggling to pick a player on the offensive side of the ball that was recruited and played under Rhoads. I went back and looked at Big12 All Conference Players during that era and wow we lacked talent compared to the Campbell era.
On defense the obvious are AJ Klein or Reggie George. With Knott just behind those guys. It's easy to forget AJ Klein was Big12 Defensive POY while a Cyclone.
On offense I will throw out a new name, Jamison Lalk. He was 2nd team All-Big12 as a senior and played center & guard during his career at ISU. More competition along the OL never hurts.

It was amazing how bad people criticized Miller on here, even into his senior year when he was playing well. Maybe the strangest thing was people somehow were watching our games (apparently) and were drawing the conclusion that Miller sucked and the younger Knott bro was really good. Maybe Knott would've ended up pretty good, but when they played at the same time Miller was ISUs best LB and it wasn't close.
Miller got a real raw deal on here. He and Richardson seemed to take the brunt of the Rhoads era folding.
