True, but if you look at his first 6 years at OSU, you will find much better numbers. Especially rush defense. During that period Banker was held in high regard. I think Riley hoped that with better talent Banker would return to success. Instead we saw a DC failing to adapt, ala Cosgrove. Time for new blood, new scheme. So either he wasn't keeping up with offensive evolution or just plain getting worse at his job (for whatever reason).

I would think another DB coach would be the likely choice. There will only bee three DL spots for Parrella to coach. Apparently Diaco is a LB guy so he and Bray would seem to be able to handle the LBs. And that pretty much leaves you with DBs.

Iowa's record during those 4 years just to put things into perspective. 2010: 8-5 2011 7-6 2012 4-8 2013 8-5 That's great that Iowa didn't give up a ton of big plays during those 4 years but it didn't necessarily translate into them doing great things or even close to it. Just sayin'. Iowa's Defensive Rank in Yards per Play: 2010 - 24 2011 - 37 2012 - 59 2013 - 6 Iowa's Offensive Rank in Yards per Play: 2010 - 21 2011 - 58 2012 - 115 2013 - 96 So while neither was particularly good in 2012, their defense was usually significantly better than their offense. So it's definitely not all the defense's fault.

Only one year since 2004 have we had more draft picks than we had last year. Which would include all Callahan's classes. But whatever makes you feel better. Doesn't change the fact that we won't have that many this year and he was clearly referencing this season. We had a senior laden team with no depth behind them that could maybe get 2 drafted. I think he has a point. Eh, the story last year was we didn't have as much talent as Purdue and that didn't really turn out to be the case. And what Pelini left clearly includes last year's team so it's pretty obvious that not all the struggles can be blamed on talent. And #9Wins used to be guaranteed by the schedule. Now it's apparently pretty impressive. People weren't expecting as many or as high of draft picks as we got last year so I guess I'll wait until it's actually over before casting judgement.

Not that they don't do revisions in between but especially Rivlas likes to release all their revisions in one week. They do an initial one for the class, then a pre-fall one, post-season one and post-all star game one. Possible one or two more. I know if anything his ranking should've been bumped back during the post season while he was injured....makes no sense but meh Rivals is retarded I got ya. It's possible it might have been and I didn't notice. Or didn't care at that time.

Said UCLA, Alabama, Nebraska and Washington are at the top of his list.

Apparently we're not the only place that has a revolving door at DB coach...

So apparently we had to show him Oregon State film to show what we wanted to do with TEs.... Parents came along. They all loved the visit. Visiting Iowa this weekend. Doesn't have plans to visit LSU as of now.

LeBron is a great talent. Which makes it all the more sad that he has to resort to s#!^ like this....

I think they want the walk-on so they can move Darlington back to WR. They want three guys who they could use in a game if needed. Depending on the situation, you could play the walk-on to avoid burning Gebbia's redshirt.

Damn, my Hall of Fame speech wont even be heard going in next to the legend. Someone has to be the undercard.

The Rey Kenobi theory is valid, but it also goes against everything Obi-Wan stood for. He was a staunch follower of the old jedi order to the point where he experienced the same temptations as Anakin in the Clone Wars, but let them go by not becoming romantically involved with someone he loved even though he had chances. A thought that I just read explains why Obi Wan was heard during the lightsaber flashback/vision. Both of what Obi Wan and Yoda said in that scene were lines said to Luke in the OT. (Yoda's "Surrounds us...Binds us" when he's talking about the force and Kenobi's "These are your first steps" were said in ANH after Luke blocks the bolts from the trainer) And really the Kenobi theory is based on the fact the he is the one that speaks in the force vision. Which you could also say of Yoda and no one is saying the Yoda is Rey's father. At this point there is too much pointing to Rey being Luke's daughter that if she's anyone, she will be Luke's daughter or no one. There's too many hoops you would have to jump through to explain another origin. The other oddity of that would be why would Obi-Wan be hiding out as a hermit at the beginning of ANH if he had family?

Because of the flip? Because of his injury. Oh I see. There wasn't any indication that OSU wanted him any less because of it, was there? I don't think so. Really seems like he just decided he didn't like the fit at tOSU.

Interesting. I thought Tavita was out recruiting while we had a coaching vacancy. No, he wasn't.

Because of the flip? Because of his injury.

It looks like they have Composite Rankings for all recruits going back to 2002 plus a couple of the top recruits for each class from 2000 & 2001.

OK. Sorry about this but I screwed it up. I got off a line and my brain apparently read "Aaron" as "Ahman". But when I went back through I didn't catch it because I was off by one. I even just about made a comment about needing more Green's but still didn't notice. I corrected it in my two posts above.
