Found Don Jackson

Even with them redshirting it is still too many imo. 8 scholarships to RB's, 3 of which that need to RS, is too many when we have positions where we desperately need more numbers and/or upgrades. Plus we go right back to having 4 RB in the same class.

Yeah, but don't be surprised if Nealy and Wimberly are more like RB/Slot WR type guys.

Also... who knows what kind of offense Messingham wants to run eventually. He already wants to run more than we have in the past, which I love, but he might even want to run even more going forward? If so, we will need a lot of RBs.

And, does anyone know for certain if Jackson really has committed to us? And.. maybe the staff isn't quite sure what they are going to get with Standard and Brown yet either? I think they are pretty high on Nealy the way it sounds, but Standard and Brown might just be more serviceable type backup RBs and not stars? Nobody knows.

Here's the BIG thing... will both Wimberly and Jackson have a RS year available? If so, this makes a ton of sense to add these two, but if not, it's pretty debatable whether this is a good move or not?

Because if they don't have RS years available... then next season we will have these guys all on scholarship at the RB position....

1. Shontrelle Johnson
2. James White
3. Jeff Woody
4. DeVondrick Nealy
5. Robert Standard
6. Wimberly
7. Don Jackson
8. Tyler Brown (who will definately be on his RS year)

That's just way too many guys at this one position. It means we are going to be thin in other areas on the team.

But if Wimberly, Jackson, and Brown are all able to take a RS next season, we will be sitting pretty at this position for some years to come.
Jackson took his RS last year @IWCC but Wimberly (who committed as I understand it) has a RS year coming.

Unlike Iowa.

First off the important question, what is the ref's 40 time? Second, does he have any eligibilty? Finally, should a high school kid consider not including a td run in their highlights when the ref keeps up with them or outruns them?

Keep signin' the running backs, we can rent them to Kirk for 1,000,000 a year pretty soon here.

The usual worrywarts at work in this thread. Maybe the staff thinks these guys are better? Or it's insurance for Shontrelle or Woody is going to graduate and not play next year or..................

He hasn't committed to Iowa State
