That's a great point...John Walters said the same type of thing on the CRN broadcast yesterday. I believe he referred to the pair as a couple of "clones."

Funny comment by John. Both were listed as weighing 237lbs. I am excited to see what Wally can get them to do, especially in Iowa City next fall.
That's high praise, especially considering Iowa has had a number of All-Big 10 Lbers since Greenway and several NFL draft picks?!?!
All the same I mentioned recently that it would be interesting to see Knott and Klein advance in their careers. Especially with the amount of high quality Lbers Iowa and Wiscy have both had really. Yet they didn't even offer either kid. Iowa signed Klein's DL teammate this past year who was very highly regarded so it is intriguing at least.
That's not to say we don't have some pretty good Lbers on staff and incoming, but for a team who has signed copious amounts of undervalued talent it is intriguing all the same. Knott in particular as an Iowa kid is exciting to see him get some pub.

Did you eat at a place that you had coupons for? That's all I need to know about your dining habits.
I don't mean to speed things up here but...can you imagine this defense going into the 2012 season...with the schedule..these guys coming into their senior season?! We've also got a good bunch of young DB's...if the DL guys can shake out 2012 could be a North championship season.
for all the talk of james white's speed, i saw knott not only beat him to the edge on a streatch play, but also finish it by cutting hip down hard for a 3yd loss.
the man plays fast and mean and i remember people being upset that we "wasted" a scholorship on him

It seems to me that our starting linebackers are going to be the biggest group we've had in a long time. It seems like we always start a guy who weighs in the 200-215 pound range. If their listed weights are close to correct, our smallest starting LB will be around 235.
Its "mind-boggling" why the hell it matters where he got his info? Seriously, why does it matter?
i could tell just by watching them
on special teams last yr. Fast, fanatical, and smart, just what you want in lbs. Honestly they really do remind me of the type of kids the Hawks always seem to get on defense, did they recruit them in h.s.? Its nice to see the Clones get a couple of these types of players instead of Iowa.

From a walk-on to being a shoo in to the NFL by the time he's a sophomore- without starting a single game.
this guy might put bo williams to shame

Jake's not a walk-on. Some people wanted him to be...but I think the majority agree that it's a scholarship well spent.
And he at least played in every game last year on special teams and a few at LB here and there. Played about 3/4 of the Colorado game in place of starter Fred Garrin at LB.
is there a chance that Jeremiah comes in and bumps Matt out of that 3rd starting spot? id love that group.
I certainly would not underestimate Jeremiah or Floyd. The past 2 classes we've landed some great linebackers. The future looks bright for this position.
There was a post that Jeremiah would be at the game yesterday, I did not see him on the sidelines, anyone know if he was there?
I hope not. I say that because I hope Matt is good enough to stay where he is not because I don't think George is good. I hope Floyd makes it here and I also hope he is given the opportunity to redshirt. Again I say this because I hope the people in front of him are deep enough, not because I simply want the redshirt. I think, given a year, he and Bennett are the best two players from a ceiling standpoint in this class, especially in defense. I think we have 3-4 guys in this class that have serious NFL potential.
I saw him tailgating! Haha, he's a big guy too! Looks like an athlete if Ive ever seen one
