Bibbs is a Cyclone

With those two tight ends and Wimberly (power back?), that gives us a lot of flexibility going from speed-Jet to 2-TEs and a power run / play-action game.

Line up in a 2x2 with White in the backfield, Brun and Bibbs in the slot. If defense is playing run, pass to either of them on a seam. If defense is playing pass, motion Brun in to TE and Bibbs into FB, then run power. For even more fun, after the motion to a power set, play-action the power into a little jump pass.

Or line up with trips, using Brun and Bibbs as blockers for Jarvis on a WR screen. Then fake the screen and sneak either one of them downfield for a big gain.

This is sort of off topic but does anyone know if these guys that signed today are going to be at the bowl game? Do they get to interact with the team and be on the sidelines? Would be pretty schweet if so.

Pretty sure he used his redshirt already.

If they do, I'm pretty sure it would be on their own nickel.

I have to admit that I'm pleased, because this kid is another building block. I was excitied about him when he committed, because he looks like he's the kind of guy who can do what Brun can do--before I had seen Brun do it. Just as importantly, depth was going to be shaky at tight end next season without another player--and we may as well get a good one!

Plus, he'll help ease the transition for the next generation of tight ends, the kids that Alex Leslie will be the first of. Just a win-win all the way around! Now, to get Suttles (equally as big) and everyone else into the house. Go Cyclones!

Love to see the possibilities with two very good pass catching TEs next year, but great get for the year after.

Paul Rhoads has been doused with Gatorade right after signing a lifetime contract with Jamie Pollard on the sideline"

Hey.....HEY.....HEY! WAKE UP!

As in, with Wimberly two weapons when Lazard arrives.

Any particular reason you are worried about Suttles signing on Feb 6th? Or just a pessimist when it comes to ISU recruiting?

He visited Missouri a couple of weeks ago, as IIRC, CW mentioned in an article, and is mentioned on his Rivals profile. Wimberly and Bibbs were the other two taking visits, we may as well get all three into the fold.

So was I. He spent a semester in IC before spending two years at JC. I could be wrong, but that looks like three years.

I can clear that up. Bibbs was a greyshirt at Iowa so he has a redshirt year available.

Paul Clark ‏@cyclonereport Bibbs told me he spent one semester at Iowa as a "grayshirt", meaning he was not going to school FT, was not a member of football program.

Paul Clark ‏@cyclonereport
TE Bibbs was not a part of any Iowa signing classes. Reported that he signed with Iowa in April 2010. Prob just fin aid papers, not LOI.
