Henry Simon will be on campus tomorrow

Paul Rhoads just told us that after practice. More information later.

WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Im expecting the next Tuba

 

[Tre4ISU]

SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!That's everyone right?

 

[Rhoadhoused]

Thats so fricking huge if he can contribute in the two deeps.

 

[CyCloned]

I hope he can play right away, unlike the JC DE brought last year....

 

[GMackey32]

Time for me to eat some crow. My friend that works for the team told me that him making it to campus was a small chance and I wrote him off. I'll gladly eat crow for this one.

 

[madcityCY]

Great news!

 

[Omaha Cy]

Next time you look over the depth charts, look at how few seniors will be leaving after this year on both sides.
Yeah, the Clones lose key guys like KO, Rump, and Latt...but there are a lot of bodies the staff will have a year to develop. Henry Simon hopefully will be another great addition.

Things are looking up in the trenches for ISU.

 

[Clones21]

Good deal.

 

[scyclonekid]

hooray!!

 

[cayin]

That is great that he is going to be here, but I would think it will be quite awhile before he is in any kind of football shape or he learns all the techniques and schemes.

 

[isuno1fan]

Wonderfully great news, but he will be wayyyy behind. Hopefully he is in some level of "OK" shape and can contribute this year.

Yeah, I don't think people are expecting Simon to be all conference this year; but he can provide some much needed depth at DT. I think if Burnham & Rhoads can put him in situations where he can succeed, he'll be a good addition just by letting the starters get some rest.

 

[cyfan964]

Holy crap. I was told by numerous reputable sources that he was a VERY long shot to make it. Glad we lucked out on one. Hope he can make the 2 deeps.

 

[cycloneman003]

tremendous just for depth purposes! we only have 5 real DT's on the roster, and 2 are totally unproven.

 

[usnclone]

Exactly what I was expecting. My sources said it may be the first week of school before we would know anything. I'm glad it worked to our favor this time.

 

[Tre4ISU]

IMO, he's more important for next year rather than this year. I hold very little hope that he can contribute this year but if I'm wrong, that says a lot about the talent he is.

 

[GWestCyde]

It's about time!!

thats what it looks like.

can someone inform me, what the hype is on this kid? he's a 2 star juco right? Is it just because we need bodies on the DL and he's a big body?

 

[isuno1fan]

I think he was a stretch when we signed him, but we really need the bodies at DT
