    Frankly, more excited about quality OL candidates. Its a position that we have struggled with since the longtime OL coach (forgot his name). left to become a HS coach in Ankey(?).

        It helped Rick a lot that he was coaching NFL dudes pretty much every year. It's amazing what that kind of talent makes you look like...

          Chicken and egg situation. Just like Bryce Paup's story helps open doors to future recruits, Nelson success of coaching up OLs helped during the next recruitment meeting.

            Yup - the dudes that came in this past year and this kid all look like bad bad men on the field.

              Clanton has done a hell of a job recruiting. As the guys he's brought in start getting worked into the system, we're suddenly going to have a lot more push off the ball.

                Guys with that kind of ceiling don’t just show up on campus, or appear out of a vacuum, especially at the FCS level. Give Nelson and that staff credit for ID’ing those players, and then developing them. Transfer or traditional recruit, doesn’t matter.

                  Next year just seems to have a special feel about it...Lots of experience, skill players everywhere, an experienced play maker with big nuts at QB, some new key additions and some momentum from a 3 game playoff run. Obviously the schedule is tough but I think this team has a realistic chance for an upset in Iowa City and most of our toughest games are at home (Weber St, NDSU, SDSU, Ill St). The key game will be on the road at Idaho State (A game that could determine whether or not we get a seed).)

                    Weber's running back entered his name in the portal. Their quarterback did earlier.

                      • Is there a list of preferred walk ons? I’ve looked on the UNI site but coming up empty.

                          Very odd. Team that went to the semi's loses their starting QB and #2 RB. Wonder what's going on there.
                          Winning is more fun than losing.

                            I didn't look into the RB, but I think the QB likely made the decision for academic reasons. Weber State only has like 16 graduate degree programs.

                            • Panthers have added a commitment from KU transfer Dominic Williams.

                              Went to KU out of Frisco, Tx where he was a 3* running back.

                              Looks like it was a playing time issue at KU so hopefully he can add some depth to our backfield...which I think really has a lot of good young talent but not a ton of experience.

                              • Lot of KU running backs recently.
