FWIW, I heard Jeremy Crabtree on 1620 here in Omaha a couple weeks ago talking recruiting, and the first caller asked about o-line/d-line prospects for ISU. Crabtree basically said that the 2011 class is very thin at the DL position, and that most teams, other than the big names, were going to have to develop guys rather than recruit them.
Really, this is nothing new for ISU. There's only so many DL/DE to go around, this year fewer than usual, so we're going to have to move guys to the position and hopefully develop them.
This literally boggles my mind. If paul rhoads ever told me this (which he NEVER EVER would) i would hit him in the face for being our football coach.
Your telling me there aren't enough 6'4 225 pound kids in high school across the nation to come in and play defensive line? The hell there aren't!!!!!!
:realmad::realmad::realmad:
Heres the deal. We recruit these kids who are 6'0 tall and slow. W.T.F.
Then we proceed to not make them 1% stronger by their senior year. W.T.F.
