Hawks offer Malcom Lee IWCC
- Thread starter Wasnt-drunk-didnt-troll
- Start date
With all the DE offers still going out the less likely that Newsom becomes a Hawk. I like keeping in-state kids at home but sometimes it doesn't work out.
Can’t help but think the staff is worried that our 2 starting DEs both leave after this year. Hesse graduates and there is a real chance A Nelson gets an NFL grade of round 2 or better.
Obviously AJE is still there and Golston and Simon. Waggoner may not be ready by the opening game of 2019, so maybe this is an insurance policy? I know you need 4 quality guys there. Will Brincks also graduate? I think so. We probably need Reiff inside with Lattimore and Nixon.
Obviously there is no such thing as “too many good DLinemen” so hopefully Mr Lee comes in ready to play (and brings Chester Graves with him).

He'll graduate from Iowa Western in December and enroll at a Division I school next January with 2 years of eligibility remaining, plus a redshirt year still available if needed.
Lee can play both DE and DT and talked with the Iowa coaches about playing both when he visited on Monday.
Says Iowa's offer was the one wanted. Looks like we might be his leader. Another good sized kid.
Going with the new recommendation of rotating 8 DL in a game to keep them fresh. Think that was one of their takeaways when they visited Georgia (?) in the spring
We take a lot of DE's, which is good as in there tend to be more athletic then a DT. They seem to make pretty good DT's after Doyle gets ahold of them.
I would be surprised if Henrich did not go to ND and Graves to a southern school because of the weather and preference to the southern schools. NE is NOT the inside track for sure.
Agree, bring in talent. From whats been said though, Waggoner is putting in the work, and given how big he was right out of high school, I'd be suprised if he's not ready for the rotation by next season.
Wagoner is another guy that could benefit from the 4 game redshirt rule. Allow him some very situational snaps so there is some film to watch but dont rely on him for anything. That rule is going to be a big deal for a program like Iowa.
I thought Heinrich to ND as well, but, with Kiser going there I dont know if they will take both.
Would like to see us focus on some speed rusher types. Seems like we have been getting a lot more of the Strong Side DE types. Simon is probably the only true speed rusher we have. Obviously you still want the best DE available regardless.
This is gonna freak out a bunch of people . . . but IMO in Kirk's system DE's can often play inside. Now DT often don't have the same flexibility. So Iowa's depth at the DE position also translates to depth along the DL in general.
