**hurdleisu24** · 12-13-2009, 02:43 PM

I think it may depend on the number of schollarship left

SWEET!!!

**ISUcy08** · 12-13-2009, 02:45 PM

Rough draft of next year's defense:

Safeties: D. Sims M. O'Connell

CB's: T. Benton/A. Young and L. Johnson

LB's: inside: P. Neal
outsides: F. Mattison/J. George and A. Klein/J. Knott

Don't forget the JUCO safety that CWill said has a good chance to start or at the very least be in the 2deeps right away.

Since he is enrolling early, can he count as last year's scholarships?

**ISUcy08** · 12-13-2009, 02:53 PM

I'm pretty excited about our young LB corp! Knott, Klein, Mattison, George, and Hubert could be very good players.

**ISUcy08** · 12-13-2009, 02:57 PM

Nice, looks like 4* DB Anthony Young committed today! Is he a safety or CB?
Edit: he is a corner.

**hurdleisu24** · 12-13-2009, 03:00 PM

So how many open schollarships are left?

**jtdoyle1** · 12-13-2009, 03:01 PM

This is even better news considering I originally read the thread title as New "DECOMMIT" Announced.

"Can", probably, but I think there is only one of last year's schollies open, so however many enroll in Jan, more than that one would count against this year.

Nice, we needed it.

AJ Klein is very likely the MLB next year.

I'd sure like to find another Juco d-lineman or two to push for playing time. ISU finished 112th in the nation in sacks last season. We could use more than just one new player in the mix.

I think we need to add another juco DE (togiai), then either bush or douglas as a HS DE, and then another DT juco or HS. That, to me, would be a nice attempt to shore up our d line problems

Wrong. P. Neal is a defensive end and I assume you mean Leonard Johnson not Sedrick Johnson.

Safeties will be Sims and Durrell Givens with O'Connell backing both up. Wouldn't be surprised to see Adrian Bennett get playing time also.

Linebackers will be Klein, Lattimer, Knott. Mattison will redshirt for sure (he only weighs 190) and George will probably redshirt also. Hubert also will be in the mix. He is probably the best linebacker in the class. He looks ready to play immediately.
