Big 12 interests and no major offers... he looks like a bigger guy and if we want to run the spread I would think ISU would be looking at a smaller, faster back that can catch in the flat. I don't think it would hurt to be the first Big 12 school to offer him

5'8"/180 lb. isn't exactly big by BCS conference RB standards, is it?

we'd probably have a good shot at him, wouldn't we?...he pretty much says he isn't considering KSU and the top Big 12 schools aren't on the radar.

Check out the roster for the size of the Big 12's leading rusher.

Seems like a good kid - would fit in well here.

You do realize that describes one of the all-time RB greats, probably before he entered college, right?

I'm not sure if I'm interpreting your posts correctly or not, but my response was to 3GenClone saying "he looks like a bigger guy and if we want to run the spread I would think ISU would be looking at a smaller, faster back".

My point is not whether or not a smaller back can succeed. My point was that 3 GenClone was making it sound like he's a big back and I though just the opposite...
