That’s one big boy. I’m not sure he’s an Iowa DT though. He fits the mold of a 3-4 NG at Wisconsin.

Will somebody answer this man already!?!?I asked this in another thread and I don't think it was answered. Isn't it possible that Schulte will come back? That would help a lot.
Yes, it’s possible.I asked this in another thread and I don't think it was answered. Isn't it possible that Schulte will come back? That would help a lot.
Short answer - if he's 300+ and has good feet, he's probably going over to the OL with KF at the helm.Look how we did with Nixon at tackle. He weighs over 300 lb. All our returners weigh between 270 and 293, I think. Why can't we recruit someone in the 300 - 320 range with good speed? Maybe they are far and few between, but seems to me we should be able to find 1 or 2 a year.
I may be in the minority but I think Iowa's DL should be fine now that VaValkenburg has announced his decision to return. I trust Coach Bell will field a pretty stout 6-7 man rotation in 2021.
Waggoner is ripe for a breakthrough. Matt Lorbeck was 1st Team MAAC DE at Northern Illinois - a possible VV type emerging player. Evans showed flashes as a pass rusher. Noah Shannon was part of the rotation this year. Logan Lee, Diante Craig, and Logan Jones were three highly prized recruits. Yaya Black, Isaiah Bruce, Lucas Van Ness, Taajhir McCall, and Jake Karchinski are underclassmen with promise (especially Bruce IMO).
We saw the same type of unease among fans when Iowa graduated multi-year DL starters Reiff and Lattimore in 2020. It will be a little bumpy but we'll be fine without a transfer. Nixon will be hard to replace for sure but the front 4 in 2021 should be solid.
FIFYNebraska will start 0-9. No ones cares
Iowa will start 0-2 again. No ones cares
Yes I forgot to mention Hurkett - I don't know much about his progress, same for DE Chris Reames. I agree with the depth of talent on the DL (and more on the way with Liddle, Pittman, LLewelyn, and Bowie). inexperience will be the early hurdle. If Heflin returns, that should not be as much of a factor. As others have mentioned, it will certainly help to have an experienced LB crew returning next year.do you think Yayah moves inside? I feel like he could fit into that Matt Nelson/Carl Davis role. I think Waggoner has played some 3 technique and if they really like Lorbeck that might be his quickest way to the field. I really like Karchinski at the 1 and Bruce as a 3, two big athletic kids. It will be interesting to see if Craig or Jones pop, I thought they’d both get spot time as freshman but Yayah beat them out.
Last but not least is Hurkett the Lb turned DT that looks super strong. The group is the most talented group in years in my opinion but some younger guys might have to play which is suspect in a scheme that requires rigid discipline, and you to the lose the right way. I still think it’s going to pop. Too much talent. But some early growing pains can be expected. This year we had 4 upperclassmen who could compete strength wise but needed some improvement with fits, next year I expect the same early

With that level of depth, I really don't anticipate that Iowa will accept a transfer DL this year.
With his size I think the Iowa coaches could do wonders with him. We don't need him to start just eat up 20 snaps a game.do not want. If you can’t start for the pink shirt Nebraska D what does that say about you.

Do you think he would also project well as the DT in Iowa States 3-3-5 defense?That’s one big boy. I’m not sure he’s an Iowa DT though. He fits the mold of a 3-4 NG at Wisconsin.

I don’t know. If he wants to win in the margins, sure. If he wants to win games, he should wear the tiger hawk on his helmet.Iowa might have the best player in the state, but 2-12 ISU has the best roster.
He would be a good fit for Iowa too. I was 100% wrong on that basketball hot take lol I will admit that. With Bankston transferring and the uncertainty of what SR's come back Iowa State may have a gapping hole at the DT spot. We will need some transfers help there for sure.I don’t know.

Is everyone on your D-line moving on? I’m sure Bailey will and I think so will Enyi. What about Josh Bailey? What else do you guys have?He would be a good fit for Iowa too.

Last I heard JaQuan Bailey was on the fence and was leaning towards returning. If he does I think Josh will as well. Enyi will be asked to come back but my guess is he leaves. He has an NFL future. There is a bunch of young talent on the team but besides a few guys its unproven talent especially on the interior so a transfer DT or 2 would be great. Returning and incoming guys are.Is everyone on your D-line moving on? I’m sure Bailey will and I think so will Enyi. What about Josh Bailey? What else do you guys have?
If Bailey returns, it likely will mean he doesn’t really have an NFL future. There is a lot of young and unproven guys in that group, similar to Iowa.Last I heard JaQuan Bailey was on the fence and was leaning towards returning. If he does I think Josh will as well.

So going to the Fiesta Bowl is in the 'margins'? LOLI don’t know. If he wants to win in the margins, sure. If he wants to win games, he should wear the tiger hawk on his helmet.
Better coaching is the difference..coach Bell says hey!do not want. If you can’t start for the pink shirt Nebraska D what does that say about you.
