Are hawks looking at Juco Def Ends

[uihawk82]

Hawks lose both Ott and Meier to graduation and we have Hesse and a few others who are young and less experienced.

Do any of you recruiting gurus know if the hawks are looking at bringing in one or two juco Dee Ends?

I have not seen that Iowa is recruiting any Juco DE. I would be very surprised if they were as they have a lot of DE types s coming in for the 2016 class.

Golston, Lattimore, McKnight, Schulte, and Simon.

My guess is at least one gets moved to DT.

one of the Michigan kids is a 4* DE ... is it Gholston?

Maybe he will get thrown into the fire as a true frosh just like Ott was at 240 lbs IIRC.

Thanks for the info. I would think Dee End can be played pretty well just off instincts and athleticism as compared to other positions.

Why are you so obsessed with Jucos or wanting Iowa to have so many of them?

I could see them "looking into" the possibility of adding a JUCO DE if the coaching staff doesn't like the depth at that position. However I believe the chances are slim.

We're not ISWho

I think it's a good question and I wouldn't mind picking one up if we knew we were getting a good kid. I do think we could use one that is ready to go but don't want to bring someone in that could be a cancer and hurt the teamwork I see in next years group.

i would doubt it - and i'm glad - love the fact that Ferentz recruits 4 year players and develops them to fit their best position, and not go juco and leave holes in the roster down stream.
