Leonard Glass

I guess it is too bad if he is leaving, seemed like a decent pickup. In the end every recruit can not turn out to be a star or a great fit. That is just the way it is. I trust this coaching staff to get guys that earn it a chance to get on the field and they are great at fit guys in places they were not recruited to.
 
This kind of sucks. He's kind of that hybrid space player that you can use in a lot of different ways and we just really don't have any other guys like that. I suppose that not being able to see your role on the field probably doesn't help you want to be here.

Might expect some attrition when the WR group is basically all Soph and Freshman.
Plus with the TEs getting much more involved in the pass game.
 
Just so I’ve got this straight...

Someone that I don’t know is assuring me that someone else that I don’t know knows what they are talking about?

That’s not how it works.

I'm not convinced you can have a robust TE group and also have the hybrid type player like Glass. I'm just not sure 85 scholarships allows you to do that. Yes, you can have one or two on the roster but then can you afford to put in a gameplan that uses them in that fashion even though you only have a couple of those guys? I tend to think they have to be able to play WR or RB and be effective doing it. If that's the case then you can throw some wrinkles out there with them to try and use them in space or something but I just don't see a future where you're carrying 4 TEs and 4 of those guys along with your RB stable. Teams like Oregon and FLorida of the past would just make all of their WRs and RBs these guys if they had to but Campbells roster construction isn't anywhere similar. Campbell wants to be big more than he wants to be incredibly fast. Kene has been hurt a lot so it may not be fair but we haven't been able to really give him anything different than a standard RB look. We're probably better off just continueing what we're doing with TEs, get quality WRs who are real WRs, elite RBs, and forgo these hybrid guys.
 
You can either believe it or not, no reason to be a whinny bi tch.
Either that orbI can just wait to see what happens, about something that isn’t really important.

you’re right, there is no reason to be a whiny *****, and I wasn’t. But you sure chose to be a jackass.

Normally the "I have info you don't have" crowd is typically shouted down. Interesting how this one is unfolding.

I think there is always room on a team for guys that can make people miss in space. I like the TEs, they have all done a great job this year, but ISU still needs guys like Jones that can work underneath routes and turn bubble screens into big plays. ISU doesn't need 5 of them, but they do need a couple.
