I know you love this board, and the IQ quotient trumps that of your parent message board, but you should really think of spending more time over there. And it will still be interesting to see what Johnson does after this weekend, huh? You always want to give your pitch last...

Scout has him as a verbal to ISU. Maybe Rivals is having a hard time getting in contact with his coach. Who knows.

Not really feeling this pickup...granted it is better than nothing but he is a little....small for a DT at 6'1".

Some of the best DTs are 6-1 or under. Three of our very best come to mind who were that small or smaller. James Reed (6-1 and enjoyed a looooooong NFL career), Brett Curvey (6-0 is being generous) and Nick Leaders (6-1 at best). In fact, shorter DTs are more coveted than the taller guys because the theory goes that they can get better leverage over taller OLs. Low man wins most battles on the line of scrimmage.

My guess is...

Because we have had a few late decommits, we also may have a few late commits that the staff has just redoubled their efforts on.

We'll see what the staff does. They may not want to waste a scholly on a player that they don't like enough, looking to bank the scholly for an early enrollee next year. Or, they may attempt to sign and place someone who is a risk to qualify. Or, they may float a scholly to a kid that noone expects but they think has a lot of upside.

Last year every single kid that committed to us signed on signing day. We were wondering on if some kids would qualify, and I think at least all but one did. This year there are questions about scholarships available, kids qualifying, ect.

I firmly believe also that as our coaches elevate our team in terms of talent and performance, that some other doors will be opened. When those doors open, there will be thieves that come in and steal players away, no college is immune to it. I've been watching kids from Florida, USC, Ohio State all changing commits in this the final push.

Looking forward to Feb. 1, and i will bet there will be a few that everyone says "WHO"? But thats what makes it fun!!!!
