According to Greg Ohlson at Cyclone Sports Report, Joshua Bellamy won't likely make a official decision until signing day. It is between ISU and Washington State and Ohlson thinks that Bellamy will commit to WSU. View free report here.

A few gems that ISU has a chance at picking up on signing day include:

Mike Marry-----------Rivals 3*---------Scout 3*-------LB
Larvez Mars----------Rivals 4*---------Scout 2*------LB

Mars played in the Army All-American game didn't he? How the hell does Scout not have him ranked?

**hall4cy** · 02-02-2009, 04:17 PM

Yes, marz was in that game. Weird that he isnt ranked. That list looks pretty close to right, but reeves is now a kansas commit and I am sure there will be one big, if not 2 big surprises on signing day.

**trevn** · 02-02-2009, 04:21 PM

Scout has Mars as a 2-Star. It's under Pooh Bear Mars

Reeves is still ours....you might be thinking of Beshears (or however you spell it)

I like the athleticism of this class, but would feel a little more comfortable with some more "beef" on the DL.

**ajk4st8** · 02-02-2009, 04:25 PM

Looks like an ok class all things considering.

It will be nice to add Bailey Johnson (injured all of last year), Jerrod Black (injured almost all of last year), Maggitt and Jake M (who redshirted) to our returning D line.

Speaking of Bailey Johnson... has anybody heard if he will make it back next year from his injury? Or even what his injury was?

Just hoping he didn't destroy his knee or do something else that could be career-ending.

**pyrocyz** · 02-02-2009, 04:53 PM

I think that the staff feels pretty good about the DL seeing that they aren't concentrating on that too much.

**isuno1fan** · 02-02-2009, 04:59 PM

Not happy about possibly losing Bellamy, but I also expect it to happen.

At this point, I am expecting Marry and Mars to ISU.

Would like to see a shocker like BeShears committing back to ISU instead of KU.

Thanks to the OP for putting all this in a neat chart!

**cycloneman003** · 02-02-2009, 05:22 PM

idk how important it is, but Jeff Woody (stud RB at SEP) has accepted a prefered walk-on at ISU... welcome aboard Jeff

I've asked this multiple times, and nobody seems to know or won't say.

I doubt that. Unfortunately, there just aren't many, if any, uncommitted DL prospects available anymore. Still I'm hoping they can pull off a Sedrick Johnson kind of suprise on the D-line.
