Yes, he has a chance. Being so good as a freshman. It may come down to whether or not he stays here for 4 years, if he does, he could well be the best ever. With his health as a given for him to achieve this status.

Bold statement, Cotton.

He had a great year last year, and this year is going to be fun to watch.
He certainly has the start to compete for this honor. This year will be a true test. Can he dominate? Can he bury a DT and pick up a linebacker scraping to the play?
I think RR has the speed and power. It is now about perfecting technique and being a leader on the OL. WE will need all the leadership we can get with a new C this year. Should be fun to watch

I totally agree. He was definately our best OL last year. He hasn't super early but by the end of the year he sure was. I know some people will say Bulaga was better last year. I say BS.

I also think he has a shot. Riley will be a pretty special guy if this comes to reality. That said, Iowa's had a few very good linemen in the past that will be hard to beat.

I agree, even though Riley played exceptionally well his fresh year, there is a chance he stops peaking early and just becomes average instead of great. I'm not saying he will and I am also hoping for the opposite, but lets just let him get passed his soph year before we crown him the best ever.

Its a little early to go down this road. John Alt, Jay/Joel/Wally hilgenburg, Goff, Gallery. Those are just a few off the top of my head. Its a long list of accomplished O-linemen from Iowa.

Don't mean to take away from the theme of the thread, but if you don't watch King of Hill, that's too bad for you. I hope you are one of the poeple who just don't understand comedy, cause otherwise it's very stupid not to at least give it a chance. King of the Hill was a very funny show.
It's a heck of a lot better than any current sitcoms and all that reality crap.
So you are saying he was just average last year as a freshman? He proved alot last year, and if Bulaga would have been gone for the season we would have had a tremendous freshman not missing a beat.

Stop calling people the best ever.
