    Wouldn't he rather go to SFA? Then he can play immediately.

      Whitney Lewis, all sorts of high school All-American teams following a monster high school career in southern California. USC moved him around a bunch in his freshman season and by the time he transferred out, he was listed as a backup WR there.

      David Horne transferred in from Nebraska and was very good for UNI.

        Whitney Lewis, was his name. He was really fast but had a really big problem with hanging on to the ball for some reason.

          Maybe I'm not giving him enough credit since I think he was hurt a lot, but wasn't that LB Hodge from Wisconsin a couple years ago a bust?

            No. He was a very good player for us.

            Unfortunately, his one year here was that '09 debacle of a season...

              The Trees have two big time Transfers in: Former Washington Quarterback Ronnie Fouch and Former Michigan State Transfer Donald Spencer. Everyone knows about Fouch but Spencer has been an unsung hero for the Trees this year. He has been a major factor in the ISU running game. GREAT BLOCKER. Notice how a few of those long runs by Bell (on tape) have been perimeter tosses to Spencers side of the field. In the past we haven't had the greatest blockers for wide receivers.

                like i said, more have been busts or marginal than the other way.

                  UNI has had their fair share of transfers.

                  Benny Sapp was pretty good
                  Elijah Hodge was pretty good
                  David Horne pretty damn good
                  wasn't there a receiver from akron too??

                  But they have also had some busts as well. It just depends on the individual and how hard they are willing to work. Some of these guys come in knowing they were div 1 FBS and think they should start right away. Others come in knowing they are going to have to work their @sses off to get up the depth chart.

                      Mike Furrey, Andy Thorn, and Jamie Goodwin were all pretty good too, but I agree, UNI doesn't need them to sustain the program.

                      And btw, Whitney Lewis was rivals' #3 recruit nationally. Behind Reggie Bush and Ernie Sims. Not too shabby.

Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                        Two of those guys are now in the NFL. I'll let you guess who isn't.

                          Ha! I know who isn't...I was just giving the info on how highly regarded Whitney was coming out of HS.

                          And I was serious earlier in that I don't think UNI needs transfers to sustain the program. It could have been taken sarcastically.

                            While I believe that our program is at a point that it doesn't always need to take on transfers to be successful, sometimes it has to be done out of necessity. For instance, this year we needed a couple TEs. Without taking a transfer or two, the staff would have been moving players around to fill the void. The transfers offered a quick, short term solution for gaps in the roster that present themselves.

                            Yes, I do know that one of those TEs was a transfer from UNO.....

                              Whitney wasn't that fast. Maybe for being as big as Pat Grace. Whitney was 220 pounds but had a knee injury that hurt him the rest of the career.

                              Pat Grace came in running a 4.4 40 but I never saw that in the dome.
