Sigh. I’ll let you in on a secret. You just accidentally let me know that my hometown made some stupid uniform choices this year.
Game 1 from this year

So Robert Army will be a safety at ISU? That is news to me. I thought he had a lot of potential at WR. We have a ton of young safeties. I do like how some DB's have been able to play both corner and safety under Campbell and staff.
I like this recruiting class for the most part but there a couple guys I am scratching my head on. Sauser being one of them. I do think Bonifas could be really good in a few years though.

Robert Army is a much better prospect at Safety than WR IMO. He doesn't have the speed and separation ability to play in the Big-12. He's due for a huge ratings bump as a Safety.
As for Sauser, We are lucky that we have the ability to miss on a OL or two now. We have great young talent in the OL room. Not saying that Sauser doesn't have it, but we can afford to miss on one of our OL recruits since we are starting to see depth there.
I don't see a huge difference between these ratings and Remsburg has seen the field as a RS FR this year.

I always thought Remsburg was under rated. Simmons was definitely under rated. He has the potential to be great.I don't see a huge difference between these ratings and Remsburg has seen the field as a RS FR this year.

Any idea why we have so many safeties in the last two classes? I think Army puts it at 7 or 8. I know playing 3 safeties at a time they need to keep bringing kids in at the position but I guess it surprises me a bit just how many they sign. I'm sure some of the safeties can move to corner if needed - Miller and King come to mind.
I'm excited about this Freyler kid. He has to improve in certain areas, but he seems like a smart and very coachable kid.
I hope we land Nwangpa and Howard in the 2022 class.
We arent going to land Nwankpa.
Miller and King were recruited as CBs.
We try to land 3 safeties per class. We try to reload every position for the most part.
As for why we need them, we lost Keontae Jones and a few others, we haven’t heard ANYTHING about Vonzell Kelley or Virdel Edwards. We are VERY thin at safety since we play 3 guys. We need EVERY safety we can get.
I LOVE Craig Macdonald.

I like McDonald as well. I think he has the highest ceiling of all three of last year's safety commits. I forgot all about Kelley and Edwards. Wouldn't be surprised if one or both transferred out at some point. Is Keontae playing anywhere this year? I can't find anything on if he landed anywhere.
MacDonald is going to be awesome. I think he slides into Lawrence White's role nicely. I like Mason Chambers as well. I haven't heard much about him, but he is a physical dude that would work well for run support.
I was not very high on Kelley and Edwards when we landed them. I didn't see much pop and dominance in their play that I see with Army and Freyler. Those guys are going to be studs.
The safety position is such a critical piece in our defense. One weak link and it ruins our coverage. I wouldn't be surprised if next year's class is filled with safeties as well. We need to load that room.
Turn on the film. Sauser plays nasty on the oline and is a finisher. Glad he’s a Cyclone. Saw Grinnell at Clear Creek last week. That Grinnell RB is really good, but that oline is good. Think they rushed for over 400 and they weren’t running away from TJ Bollers
The corollary to this statement is that there is enough talent in the OL room (especially on the interior) that Jeff Myers doesn’t have to recruit someone just to fill a roster spot, someone he doesn’t really want to.
My only concern is that when Dodge gets up around 300, he might lose some of that excellent athleticism—but that doesn’t happen all that often.
I didn’t have any complaints about the last couple classes of safeties—they certainly haven’t had time to pan out yet—but the commits in the current class kinda feel like we’re overrecruiting all of them. Especially if Frazier doesn’t stick at corner. I’m agog.
Not that that’s a bad thing. I just didn’t want to say it and make the current freshmen feel bad.
I think we have so many safeties in this class because it’s scheduled to be the one position on the team that could be vulnerable after this season (pre-COVID eligibility changes).
Enyi and JaQuan were scheduled to graduate, but with Zach and Will (plus a bunch of youngsters), the DE’s aren’t going to miss a beat. The TE’s should be fine, with Dean, Loving-Black and Hanika—and there’s a chance Charlie comes back. Plus, Moore looks like he might be ready to contribute. That room is stuffed.
The safeties are more number intensive, and Eisworth, White and Azuna are all set to graduate. Sure, they can rebuild with Isheem (probably switching to SS), but he looks like a three-and-done right now. And D.J. Miller needs to add muscle to be a full time P5 player.
What they’re doing is stuffing the safety room with as much talent as possible, in hopes the unit keeps up with the rest of a loaded ‘21 team. I think that Freyler and the JC kid Langston may both be early enrollees, so the staff may just pull that off.
Heck yes, I’m excited!
I saw Kohl's kicking camp has him ranked as the #1 kicker, also going to play in the Under Armour all-american game. Coach Kohl was my high school kicking coach. I trust his kicking evaluations

Becker recently attended Kohl's National Scholarship Camp in July of 2020. He again proved why he is a D1 recruit. He has one of the fastest legs we have seen in the 2021 class. His kickoff score of was the best out of the 779 participants at camp. He also scored 35 out of 36 field goal points.…
