Lol exactly. Didn't a bball player get suspended toward the end of the year a few years ago, when they were pretty good, because he was sleeping with another student?
Montgomery and Thomas are gone

A lot. It shows It can be done. Frankly #44 is only a little bit better than #59 and when you count 30 signees, it is okay.
Colorado
might be a good place for JT to transfer but it's not closer to home (unless JT thinks like Justin Hamilton did).
I don't think these 2 will be missed much this season unless Warren gets injured.
I agree with needing to get guys that will buy into his system but what I worry about is the affect winning 3 games again this year could have on his recruiting. On the other hand if he wins 6 games this year, he will be able to have something to show to recruits instead of an idea of change...hope it is closer to 10 kids with none on the 2 deep

You are absolutely wrong. As good as this class is, those guys won't be ready for 2 years.
So, he insists they go to their classes and not do illegal (to date) drugs. And he wants them to hang out together in a new player lounge he is having built. My Gawd what a tyrant! But we went looking for a good football coach - not everyone's favorite uncle type. I loved CPR but am loving what I learn about CMC.
They don't allow sex either. Add those three up, and its a recipe for suicide for any person I know age 18-23. May as well join the Taliban.
In all seriousness - there is one huge difference between us and BYU. We aren't the destination school for the best athletes from an entire religion. And the kids we recruit aren't from Utah - they expect to have fun at college.
I disagree with this statement.
What DE from last year (that is returning for 2016) has proved to be too good to replace? I would think players like Jamahl Johnson and Jaquan Bailey could play....yes, might they have a learning curve - agreed, but when it is all said and done athleticism/competitiveness is more important than anything. I watched both Johnson's and Bailey's highlights and I believe they can/will be playing as true freshman. Heck, even the other beast DE could play - maybe not start, but play as a rotational guy.
I expect to see a lot of this 2016 recruiting class play this year.
It won't work at ISU. We have enough disadvantages without adding one of our own. Our policy, and the ones for most of our peer schools, I believe have always been:
1st failed test - 1 game suspension
2nd failed test - multiple games
3rd failed test - out for the season
I think that is right, but there may actually be a warning for the first failed test. Cracking down with a no tolerance policy sounds good, until 4 starters fail and you screw yourself. I would bet this was a one-time thing, and probably specific to certain players like DM who have already been suspended in the past. If not, we are hamstringing ourselves.
Kind of reminds me of the movie Remember the Titans. White kids told the coach the white kids that would play and he could do what he wanted with the other positions. I think the coach (Denzel Washington) called them Dean and Jerry. (Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis)
Well considering we are at 99 and just offered someone we knew their was going to be double digit attrition.
I'm not exclusively talking about incoming freshman or "Campbell guys". There's still other guys that didn't start last year or redshirted last year that are on the team. We're very much at the "next man in" level and there isn't some huge talent gap in our 2 deep from 1's to 2 and 2's to 3's or even from 1's to 3's because we don't really have that much talent anywhere.
Yeah, until someone gets injured. You need to have 60 playable guys. At least 20 freshmen won't be. There will be another 20 that aren't for whatever reason. Now, if you start losing a bunch of guys who have played and played at a pretty decent level, not to mention they are pretty young, it will hurt. In basketball you can replace them much easier. In football, at ISU, replacing a large number of guys like the Harvey's Mills, Northrups of the team is a two year process at a minimum. Sure, you can find JUCO guys at times but not all over. Is it huge that we lost these two? No, not really at all. We have a lot of WRs that can play and RBs are by far the easiest guys to replace quickly, but you start losing defensive guys or linemen in large numbers and it's going to hurt. Our OL right now is in really tough shape because we are losing guys there. We've lost two and will possibly lose more and tthey are guys that would at least provide depth that doesn't cripple us.
So we had 30 signed, then 100 on schollies, lose twenty on schollies, and now need five more? Need a WRNL update.
I can't disagree with you that it would "hurt", but my point is how much does it really "hurt" winning 4 games vs. winning 3 games with a bunch of guys that aren't on board? Like I always said during my "Rhoads out" phase; people just refuse to hit rock bottom or acknowledge that we were at rock bottom. Now we can move forward and moving forward means clearing out deadwood and losing guys that don't want to move forward here. It's not worth it to chance guys that just stick because we want them to stick and 2 games in they're done because they don't want to be there. Moving forward might not look great for awhile but at least we aren't stuck in the spin cycle any longer.
