That post reminds me that Ballard came in as a TE, makes you wonder what kind of TE he could have been. I think they made the right choice putting him on the other side of the ball.
On that note, remember a few years back, 2007 season where Iowa went 6-6 and didnt go to a bowl...KU went to and won the Orange...That spring and next fall Ballard was asked if he regretted not staying home...fast forward to now. I think Clayborn was on the border that year, thinking about going back to Mizzou, too. Phew.
