SIAP: Gair looked reeeeal good!

[IowaHOCKS23]

So I've been involuntarily away for a bit, thankfully Jon is actually a good fella..

Anyways, Figured I'd bring positive as my first post back since I assume the meltdown occurred without me after the ISU game..

but I was super impressed by Gair. I saw him come up and make an absolute stick, and was watching him closely throughout the rest of the game..

He is only a sophomore, along with King.. I think we have a special secondary in the making guys and gals.

Mix that with an underrated QB class coming through the ranks with Cook, the dowling guy and benevetti (I think that's it?). I honestly think the next 3-4 years sets up pretty well for us. Daniels will be our guy at some point I believe, and if he's not, that means there is someone better than him which is pretty good news.

might be biased bc I played softball with Cook's brothers, but Im hoping to see him on the field. All 3 of his bros are fast as lightening and watching his highlights I see he caught the speed gene as well.

For those of us hoping to see KF gone before his contract, I think we'd better just get used to seeing the gum chewing until it's done. He's going to field some talent.

Dayum boys, it's a good time to be a hawk!

I know, I wasn't looking for him at all but kept seeing and hearing these hits and saying "who was that?" I mentioned it the other day on here. I'll be watching for him tomorrow

And with Lomax having another year and maybin having two years it looks to be a solid Dee backfield for a couple years,

I think Lomax moves to SS next year to make room for Gair. Lomax has also been solid in run support this.year.

Agree ... this D should continue to improve and be tough as nails by the end of the year.

I think Lomax moves to SS next year to make room for Gair. Lomax has also been solid in run support this.year.

I think they do both play, but considering lomax was a corner at one point in time he may have better range for a free safety spot than gair. They both obviously hit hard so it will be interesting to see how they handle that next year.

If you have 2 lock down CBs, a cover S and a hard-hitting run support S you'll have success with our scheme. Heck, with any scheme.

I think the Hawks are well on their way to having just that. And having it for a few years. Barring injuries of course.

Push Lowdermilk out and get Gair and Lomax back there.

The secondary is definitely ahead of schedule to where most of us thought it would be I think. If the young LBs, and D-line continues to develop, the Hawks D could be an absolute nightmare next year, heck even by the end of the year.

i think lowd should move to mike on 3rd and long - or just all downs of more than 4 yards
