Let the portal madness begin

Moulton, Williams, McNeil, Phillips.......

It feels like a good RB room to me.

It is worth remembering that Kaleb Johnson had a bit of a sophomore slump:

He struggled finding the lanes and making the first guy miss. He also struggled with a bad case of brianitis, which made things tougher. In his 3rd season as a regular contributor, he really took off (admittedly, this coincided with Lester tweaking our system, and our OL starting to emerge).

Moulton left some yards on the field this season, but this was only his second as a major contributor (he is just a RS sophomore). He actually has more yards through his first 2 seasons as a regular than KJ. He could absolutely make a big leap next year.

I also like X. Williams and really like McNeil. Phillips looks like a good addition.

It feels like Doll isn't in the mix at all. I wonder if a position change is in his future?
 
If we were going to add a RB, this is the guy I was hoping we would target. Jones has great vision and would have been a great fit in out run scheme:

 
Well I think we can all agree what was missing at RB this year was the big play. I cant think of a single time outside of X's two TDs at Wisconsin where a RB broke one for a TD.
 

It appears Marco Lainez is again in the portal.
Couldn't play at Iowa.
Backup at Elon.
Gotta give him credit for trying to play somewhere. Anywhere.
My question - what did Iowa see in this guy?
 
Surprised to see Beau Pribula in the portal from MIzzou. I expected him to go to VT, but that is where the PSU QB went. Then to PSU but Roco is there. So he's going to VA. I wonder if he came back and talked with Tim Lester again. I'm thinking Tim's got his two guys that he's groomed and developed.

your thoughts?
