Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

After transposing several of the players Bio's, I have made an obvious observation that this UNI team is loaded for the next few seasons. So much talent and so many younger players.

I am getting so excited for this coming season!

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

Did Vereen get a medical redshirt? I know he came in with Owens and Lemaster, but he is the only one listed as a Jr.

probably an error/misprint on the roster. I could be wrong, but I don't think the NCAA even considers medical redshirt applications until the player's senior season

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

Vereen looks like he's been working OT in the weight room this summer. Looking for a big year from this guy. Setting up that run at the NFL with a big senior season.

Thanks guys, I went and checked past rosters and it should read as a senior, and of course the Bio reads the same.

This is one loaded team. Now coaches, it time to do something!

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

I think this team could be more talented than the 05 and the "undefeated" squad except for the line play...
