FWIW just because I am not high on Dickerson doesn’t mean I am bitter. I just didn’t really care he committed elsewhere. 22 class I will be very disappointed if we miss on those 3 local 4 stars. TE, OLB and OL 

I got some bad news for you....

Lots of smoke here that he may be close to flipping to N. Was on campus for an "unofficial" last weekend.

Just kidding I just wanted Decked to panic for a second.

Great Interview here.

I thought he was supposed to have a video. 

He does.

Penn State and Florida State are now heavily involved. I expect him to be to not be N.

I think we go 1/2 and get Helms and Iowa nabs Riley. 

I agree, but Wisconsin instead of Iowa for Riley.

Anyone still think one conference canceling and others playing won't affect recruiting? Notre Dame could be a dream school sure but this makes me go hmmmmmm.

 

@Mavric

 

Could you add ND to the poll please?

I think it’s because ND has been a better program. 

Notre Dame bound

Pushed deadline and continued pressure by Frost and co. N.

And now we wait to see which players transfer out to play elsewhere.

My fear is the players transferring which I think happens soon

Huskers still said to be right at the top of his list but getting him to be able to visit would obviously be helpful.

That won’t be in the plans now.

What are you even thinking posting that here?

Cause it’s funny? Maybe lighten up a bit chief.

Was there some O-lineman that you felt inspired a level of confidence comparable to JD or Wandale? Because I sure don't remember seeing any.

 

 

So basically, your argument is that at one point in the season the OL (which IIRC wasn't too bad for injuries) was losing us games, and at another point in the season the WRs (who got banged up) were losing us games, and therefore WRs bad? Alrighty then.

I think you need to sit down and rewatch last season and you are putting words in my mouth. By the end of last season the WRs were losing us games because of their inability to make plays and stay on the field. That hurts the play calling, the quarterbacks confidence, the tempo, and the defensive time on field. Spielman and Wandale were great, but they were injured frequently. No one else stepped up. For a team with a high tempo offense that leads to losses and it shows on the scoreboard and on the stat sheet. There’s a reason Walters got replaced.

Disagree. JD and Wan'dale were great. The main problem at WR was that we went from Stanley Morgan to Kanawai Noa, which was, um, a big drop-off. If you want to say that plus a lack of depth at WR was a problem, I'd buy that, but as a unit the OL was a bigger problem.

Hence why I said WR group. By the end of the season the OL wasn’t losing us games. There was no confidence in any WR not named JD or Wandale. When they were banged up there was almost 0 WR production.

The issue of tempo probably gets undercut to a degree by (generally) all-around bad play by the offensive line.

 

We have to have a foundation of things that consistently work in the first place before we can really drive up the tempo...but that doesn't happen to begin with in the absence of solid line play.

OL was not the biggest issue. We trotted out one of the worst WR groups in recent memory and didn't have the RB depth we needed once Mo was out. UCF pace of play was because they had weapons that Frost could count on at every position and their defense could get turnovers which allowed the offense to really cruise. There were a lot of factors as to why the offensive tempo looked slow.

Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, OSU in 4 straight games is rough. 

Better than having Ohio State, Penn State, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota to end the year.

Was here on an unofficial visit this past weekend it appears.

Committed to Auburn. Another flat out miss from the KC area with the staff & Tuioti.

Tuioti has been abysmal.

After sharing an article that talked about us landing the 1st and 3rd ranked JuCos. A coworker of mine chimed in and told me Fidone was her cousin and that they are all hoping he is N. She said “even his Hawkeye parents”. She then said,  “My step dad has four cousins who are like his brothers (huge Italian family) and my step dad owns a portable toilet business and one of our toilets are at Scott Frost’s house. Our worker went to clean it and Scott was outside so he mentioned that Fidone’s uncle owns the toilet. Scott said get him on the phone! So Scott called my step dad and said please come have a beer with me, I want Thomas, what do we need to do?” 
 

I am going to ask her tomorrow during work for more deets. Like if he actually went and had that beer and if Scott was worried they were behind, and how long ago this was.
