that's exactly what this DL has been missing - athletic, quick guys on the ends. looks like big pick up on paper - hope they stick!
Drew Ott is plenty athletic.............not sure why we're throwing
Drew under bus, here.
??? He'll be an All Big Ten guy, this year.
Next year, Hawkeye fans can watch Drew play on Sundays.
out
It's a long and winding road to February.
Harbaugh/Dantonio?
i'm not throwing anyone under the bus - but if you have been paying any attention to iowa football since clayborn, we've lacked significantly on the DL, as a whole, especially on the ends. we need some difference makers - maybe these guys can help in a few years.
This. Iowa has had good not great talent on the DL and if Iowa wants its secondary to make plays they need some great players on the DL.
AC made his secondary look awesome. Sash was great but he owes a lot of his INTs to AC.
Well, it's time to be dickish right back at him if it happens. The days of being the nice, reasonable stooge must be over. Don't take it out on the kids by pulling their offers (you can't blame a high school kid being charmed by another school, especially a major program), but send a shot back to anyone who is meddling in Iowa's commitment pool that it will not longer be tolerated.Here comes Harbaugh and he smells fresh meat

You're looking at these kids as they are now, with little fanfare and not much, if any, interest. However, it's not uncommon for a kid to really develop and have a big senior year, at which point someone like Harbaugh will move in quickly and try to poach a kid away. Who knows if these two will turn into these types by next fall, but, if it happens, and it does happen, Ferentz needs to spit back at these coaches. That's all.Why would Harbaugh or D'Antonio go after these guys when one of them didn't have any other offers and the other only had MAC-level offers? I'd think both of those guys would pass on these guys, and it's up to Kirk and co. to develop them beyond their perceived talent level-nothing new there for Kirk.
