    Ruempolhamer, Linder and Laing were the three "stealth" recruits--the staff likely simply didn't want attention drawn to them. Especially Laing, I suppose, who really would have been hard to find. However, Ruempolhamer, at least was originally listed in the Rivals database as a junior this year.

    I might add Burris to the list. There was a small blip in one of the Kansas papers, but not much if anything on rivals until he signed.

    Re: Stephen Ruempolhamer

    My bad, his team wasn't the state champ-but runner up and the touchdown return was in another game. I like the fact he has played ball a good part of his life, his 40 is great but bench seems weak for his size (that will need to be increased). At 6-3 285 they should play him this next season and not redshirt him. I believe both Nick Leaders in 02' and Jason Berryman in 03' played as true freshmen so it can be done sucsessfully.

    If they have enough players at the tackle slots, they should redshirt him to allow him to build overall body strength. He's still green, only two years playing US football, and his fith year would likely be more valuable than spot plays as a true frosh role player.

    Re: Stephen Ruempolhamer

    I think the plan is to redshirt him because he is pretty raw and needs some further development due to his history.

    He's got the physical tools and the desire. I think he'll turn out to be a good one down the road.

    I think Burris signed with Kansas State really early. That's why there wasn't much news about him

    Re: Stephen Ruempolhamer

    Burris had origionally signed with KSU, and was offered a Scholarship to play for them. KSU over exteneded offers and had too many verbal, so they left this kid with no where to go..
    810am radio down here said that this kid is extremely athletic, strong, and smart. We are lucky to have him here!!!

    I'm aware that rivals had him committed to KSU early. The stealth part was the switch to ISU. Rivals didn't even have him as an ISU prospect until after he signed the LOI.

    Re: Stephen Ruempolhamer

    I think that Ruempolhamer is going to be a great player for ISU. Seems like Chizik really stole one there...possibly because people thought he was a 2009 recruit?? Hamer and Laing are going to be a tough interior duo on the DL in a few years.

    I wasn't overly impressed by Lang. He looked solid, but the level of competition wasn't the best. IMO he will be good, but not great.

    Chizik was very high on him in a radio interview. He said that you don't find many guys with the frame that Laing has who can move as well as he does.

    Re: Stephen Ruempolhamer

    I saw that while he was in high school he moonlighted as a receiver. He even scored a few touchdowns. BTW, did anyone notice that in Canada they have bigger endzones and the goalpost in the front of the endzone like they did in America in the 1940's?
