Neither one of these two would be well served to leave school early. I don't see either one of them going before the fourth round (Sash) based on their body of work thus far at Iowa if they enter the draft now. McNutt really needs another year to sure up his draft status. I don't see either one getting much playing time on Sunday's if they leave now.
Sash, McNutt file NFL papers.

McNutt will get drafted, especially if there looks to still be a lockout next year, and the other underclassmen stay in school. If they don't declare, then I could see McNutt leaving.
Sash is 23 years old. Given that, I'm preparing myself for him to be gone. Maybe he won't leave, but he's already "old", and has had a couple shoulder reconstructions (see what those injuries have done to Bob Sanders?).

Your joking right? Iowa hasn't had a WR drafted since Kasper I believe. No one in the last 8 years...

What makes you think the defense will not be good next year Clone? If Sash returns Iowa will need to replace the other safety and three linemen. In Iowa's system the players stepping in should be able to produce. They might not have the names but you can bet they are eager to play. The LB core will be an experienced group instead of freshmen playing a hell of a lot of downs and the secondary will replace Greenwood and will be just as good to. Iowa's defense never gave up 50 points in consecutive weeks, defense will be just fine, if Norm is back and healthy even better than fine.

I could be wrong. I just think it's tough to fill in the talent that Iowa had on the line. Daniels is a stud but he will need help. If he gets it, you are right, the defense could be just as good. I think the LB play will be better next year

Yes he's joking.
Both players make me nervous. Sash is a smart player and would most likely find his way on a roster. He won't be a high draft pick though if picked at all. He has had the shoulder injuries and is old for his class. McNutt has too many really good WR in this class. He needs to a breakout year next year to get himself in position
Good to see Reiff and Prater will be back

Not true, they have insurance policies. All athletes with a chance to make the pros take out insurances if they stay for an additional year or two.
and what if they suffer a career ending injury their first season. Might as well get that college degree now so you have something to fall back on IMO

Anyone saying that Clayborn hurt his stock by returning this year is ill-informed. Clayborn was looking at a late 1st round grade last year. He currently sits at number 19 on Kipers big board. He will go anywhere from 10 to 20 in the draft. That's not hurting his draft stock from last year, he improved it.

Sash would go higher than McNutt...I can't see McNutt going top three rounds...maybe 4th, but probably lower than that.

BTW, Kiper currently has Tyler Sash rated as the 5th best non-senior safety prospect. Again, that's not including seniors.

With or without them it's a 6 or 7 win team - tops ...
... and there is nothing that will EVER make this season look like a success.

I may be wrong, but usually it's not worth getting the insurance if you aren't expected to be picked in the first two rounds, which Sash and McNutt aren't.

I don't even think you are eligible for it unless you are projected in the top 3 rounds.

I am going to do out on a limb here and say that is not a good rating. Certainly not one that would warrant early entry into the NFL draft. The main reasons to go early are if (1) you are a first round pick or (2) you won't improve your stock any more. Neither scenario applies here. In the case of McNutt, I can see him not even getting drafted. If he is worried about an injury, he could take out a 250K policy (which is probably the most he would ever get in a signing bonus) and try to have a great year, which is very possible, and get himself into those early rounds.

September
3 Tennessee Tech = W
10 at Iowa State (Hy-Vee Cy-Hawk Series) = ??? (better teams than this one will be have lost at Ames)
17 Pittsburgh = W???
24 Louisiana-Monroe = W
October
1 Bye
8 at Penn State = L
15 Northwestern = L
22 Indiana (HC) = W
29 at Minnesota = W
November
5 Michigan = L
12 Michigan State (FW, FA, S) = L
19 at Purdue = W???
26 at Nebraska = L
I count 4 minimum, with Pitt & Purdue questionable and ISU a giant question mark on the road. Give 'em ISU and that's my "7".
Do you have any idea how many starters ISU and PSU lose next year? Two teams that lose more than us, that were worse than us from the get go, doesn't equate to us losing to them. Do some homework. NW, Michigan, and MSU losses? Michigan I see, the other two, nope. Will Persa be healthy, that's the real question mark for NW, if not, that's a whole different team. MSU, loses plenty on Defense, including the best LB in the big 10.
