Yeah JV got a raw deal... Davis and his system didn't work for him. Coming out of HS and then how he looked at first I thought we had a great Qb potentially in him. KF swung and miss hiring Davis that's for sure. He kinda gets a pass cause of how bad BF ended up being. But Davis wasn't a great...

Yeah he hurt his shoulder and had it worked on and wasn't really ever the same after that and decided enough was enough. I can't remember how many yrs he was with MN but it wasn't very many maybe 2-3.

Ah gotcha I didn't know he'd had surgeries. Agree I think him making the NBA seemed like a pipe dream considering we've seen better players then him not make it. I was hoping Joe Wieskamp mighta gotten in there but it doesn't look like he ever will.

I think he's as 'perfect' of a qb as KF & BF wanted to have. Big strong can take a hit. Didn't make many mistakes. Didn't miss games I don't remember him being hurt much if at all. He was tough. His QB sneaks were legendary. He just had that lower ceiling is all. They hoped that Petras woulda...

Yeah our back 7 has me nervous. I'm hopeful but nervous nonetheless.

Stanley was such an enigma. He played with some stud WRs/TEs and had some great games. But also had some absolute stinkers too. If he coulda just had his bad games against Wisconsin back I bet he'd be looked at differently. I really liked him I thought the team all responded well to him. Just...

He was getting DNPs in the summer league as of a couple days ago when I looked him up. I don't know if he's hurt or just not good enough to be put out there. Either way he's not been playing and that sure doesn't bode well for him. I'm guessing he's going to have to make a decision between going...

I think Ben would like for one of them to separate themselves to make the decision easy. Maybe Koch already kinda has so far. I know it's early but if a guy is better sometimes it's just that obvious.

No doubt. starting lineup wise I think we'll have these guys 1-5 starting with the 3 spot kinda up for grabs to me yet. 3 of those spots could be non Drake guys. 2 for sure. Stirtz Hausen Koch/Banks/Thompson The battle for mins amongst those 3 will be interesting. AF Manyawu

I heard he had his knee worked on recently and is going to miss the start of the season so that sucks. Hope he'll be as good as new after that. He just got paid the most of any OL this off season too. Good for him he's a monster.

The days of watching AJ Edds (as good as he was) trying to cover WRs in space were tough to watch... Norm Parker God bless him on 3rd downs would have LBs covering WRs and it was probably the one major schematic thing that kept our defense from being better then they were back then.

Yeah we kinda had that back and forth before yrs ago. But that was back when offenses were less pass happy then they are now. Nowadays offenses throw more and quicker. It's tougher for Dls to get to the QBs and make an impact. LBs gotta be able to read and cover quick throws almost more so then...

I'm not sure what to expect. For a couple reasons. It's yr 1 obviously and with the roster being totally flipped it's just tough to know what's fair. The other reason is I'm not up on what all the other BIG schools have done this off season very much. I know Indiana is in a similar boat but as...

So yeah if that's the case it woulda been during his official visit that he took just a few weeks ago. He didn't wait long to commit after that at all. Which makes sense it's when they woulda all been together in person.

Tyler Tachman got to interview Thompson recently. He wrote an interesting article on it. How the reclassifying topic came up was from his mother apparently as an afterthought kinda. I'm not sure if it was during his visit or on the phone though I don't think Tachman said. But she'd brought up...
