    Yes he is here. I'm told that he does have a year of eligibility left. He did graduate from WI in May and is starting Grad. School at UNI.

        And they have put Josh Johnson at D-line! Holy Crap! 6'8"/260lbs D-lineman. Wow!

          Looks like the 6' 5" QB from Schaumburg made it to the dome.

          And there's a new name at DL...Henry Obi, 6' 4" 250 lb from NDSCS.

          I like the looks of Joel Gilson at DL. 6' 5" 254 lb senior switching over from tight end. I'd like to see him coming off the edge getting after the QB this year. Farley has had some success in converting good athletes to pass rushing DE's late in their career in the past.

          One other comment. Take a moment and scan that roster from top to bottom. It is deep. Really deep. The competition for playing time has got to be intense.

            I was thinking the same thing. I don't know where all these athletes are going to play. If UNI can consistently redshirt their freshmen, this is going to be fun teams to watch for the foreseeable future.

            BTW, the Gilson switch reminds me of Beau Gibbs' senior year switch.

                Agree. And his size reminds me of that kid from West Des Moines who played DE a few years ago and absolutely tore it up his senior year.

                I can't remember his name but I can remember him coming off the right end and making left tackles look silly.

                  John Hermann I believe is who you are referring to. He was a load his senior year.

                    I do believe this is the first time I recall seeing a player listed as "graduate student" for their year. I guess I had always figured that in terms of football "year", they just based it on how much eligibility they had left (and whether or not they'd used their redshirt year).

                      I agree entirely. Was just kind of thinking that when commenting about our basketball recruits in another thread. It's great to be here and watch other schools talk up their great recruiting classes and how much of an immediate impact they are going to have....

                      At UNI, we recruit great athletes, redshirt them a year so they can learn the system and hit the S&C program, give them some action as RS Fr and then start moving them and finding places for them on the field after that. Find athletes, get the best 11 on the field, win ballgames.

                        Blue42, do Gilson or Obi have a shot to make the rotation at D Line? I'd assume from your comments about Gilson that's a "yes", but just curious if you or others have seen practice to know who's getting reps. I would be nice to find another solid player to start opposite Ruffin at DE, and to find some depth.

                          I think it will be Fabian Brown.

                            I just noticed that Craig James in NOT on the roster. I thought this guy was a lock to be a solid starter at the CB position, and now he is not on the roster. What is the deal, does anyone have any info?

                                I haven't seen any practice. Just pure conjecture on my part.

                                I suspect by mid-season we'll see either Gilson, Obi or Brown getting a lot of reps. Probably several of them.
