Too early for that ... that situation may change by the time the season starts.
New Two Deeps
- Thread starter Blair Sanderson
- Start date
Amazing thing from rewatching that OSU game from last year remember one thing that stuck out to me that I couldn't believe about being luck with the health of players at one position group. Was one series in 2nd qtr when 2 OL from then went down for minor injuries where Niemann had a big sack against a backup. Before returning later the announcer were talking about how under Urban Meyer and had this crazy stat. In Meyer's 5 years every opening day starting unit everyone of the OL played every game that season.
I'd agree, but with the new rule in place for redshirts, it would be nice to get them some minutes against someone like UNI, should the game be in hand. I'm not talking about major minutes, but we could use someone with Shannon's beef down on the goaline, and remember that Linderbaum held up pretty well at the All American camps he attended.
That reflects what Morgan has been saying too. When the players are talking up the guys too ... that's a really promising sign.
The players were talking up Mike Daniels long before he started really making a big splash for us.
Thus, color me excited ...
So much DL talent in the B1G. When Phil figures out the right combinations for the Iowa DL, this group could be one of the top 3-4. That is saying something.
They would have had to have enrolled early and gone through spring ball to be listed in the two deeps. That could change after camp.
I remember the past few spring games wondering who "that #57 was," seemed to all over the place making tackles and around the ball. Great Daniels comparison, Iowa would definitely take that!
Also, Emmert Twitter is a great one to follow, always has some recruiting tidbits or insight, I'd recommend a combo of Emmert/Dochterman/Morehouse/Leistokow/Tom&Blair
I thought I remember Reese Morgan saying on hawk central he likes Chauncey Gholston at DE more and DT was more so just an experiment. But it could also be he is way to good to keep off the field. Also both spring games I have really liked Simon I think he can be the next binns or Hodges if his time ever comes.
If things play out as I suppose ... the Hawks will likely be losing both starting DEs after the '19 season. Furthermore, with Brincks and Hesse graduating after the '18 season ... there will already be opportunity within the rotation (at DE) in '19. Then, come '20, it could be a free-for-all for the starting DE spots.
