If hooker stays I want him right where he was. Guy makes plays. Last thing I want to do is move him further from the ball.
Not having a bad safety is more important to me than having Hooker at the star position. Hopefully Hooker is back and one of Craddieth/Merriweather are ready for the safety spot opposite Stone. One of those two needs to step up for your scenario to work.If hooker stays I want him right where he was. Guy makes plays. Last thing I want to do is move him further from the ball.
Finding at least an average safety on the roster is pretty high on first glance so leave Amani where he is.Not having a bad safety is more important to me than having Hooker at the star position.

AZ also wants to know who fills the Mike, Leo and Will holes.So we have a good idea who will be at Star. How about Mike, Leo, and Will?
That one actually did make me honk
It isn't likely that a rookie would be there for game one, but Castro and Belton appear to be 100% football players in the Hooker-Stone mold.Not having a bad safety is more important to me than having Hooker at the star position.

From some of the pics posted online it appears that Levi Duwa moved back to the defensive side of the ball. He had been working at center.Linderbaum apparently moved to center, which is interesting and not something I'm sure I like. He seemed like he could eventually be a really good DT and that's something they've been missing the last couple years.
Agreed on Banwart next year and that Linderbaum will probably be a really good center eventually, I was just really excited about his potential at DT. We've struggled to find a great true DT since Jaleel graduated, and I'm not sure I see any others on the current roster.
Hopefully he doesn't get Title IXed.Agreed on Banwart next year and that Linderbaum will probably be a really good center eventually, I was just really excited about his potential at DT.

I don't think it's Title IX's fault if he winds up academically ineligibleHopefully he doesn't get Title IXed.Agreed on Banwart next year and that Linderbaum will probably be a really good center eventually, I was just really excited about his potential at DT.

Academics aren't the reason he ain't practicing.I don't think it's Title IX's fault if he winds up academically ineligibleHopefully he doesn't get Title IXed.
There are no details available, but it has been leaked that he is under investigation for an assault of some kind. He hasn't practiced for a couple months.I don't think it's Title IX's fault if he winds up academically ineligibleHopefully he doesn't get Title IXed.
They're all from two parent $150,000+ income households, with names like Tyler and Justin, but yes.Did we sign some strapping young black men this year? This is all I care about.

It is Title IX's fault if he gets booted out of school on a 51% probability.It is also not Title IX's fault if he assaulted someone
@BBK here's your guy. I can only assume he's got a corresponding Hawg.Did we sign some strapping young black men this year? This is all I care about.

Sometimes wild guesses get close. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I only put Johnson there because he's a bigger CB whose HS tape suggests that he is a physical tackler and he may be stuck behind Hankins/Brents/etc at CB for now. Purely a wild guess on my part.Craddeith seems like he'd fit the Star spot a lot better than Johnson. I think they move Ojemudia to either star or safety and Johnson is the third or fourth corner. Phil talked him up a lot once he was healthy.
Merriweather seems like a guy they recruited specifically to play Star (if I watched his high school tape without knowing his position I'd have assumed he was a linebacker recruit), but Ojemudia would be a good one year stopgap. He's huge for a corner and already plays much more like an undersized linebacker than a corner. It'd let Hooker move back to safety full time too, and while he was really good in the hybrid role this year he's also still probably the best safety on the roster.

Yeah, I think it's a safe bet at this point that Hooker and Hock are 100% gone. Nelson is the lone question mark.Sometimes wild guesses get close. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I only put Johnson there because he's a bigger CB whose HS tape suggests that he is a physical tackler and he may be stuck behind Hankins/Brents/etc at CB for now.

Hearing he’s headed pro
If your stock isn't really all that high, wouldn't it make more sense to focus on development and take more of the track that King took. Granted, King probably should have done what Hooker is doing- but much more accomplished.I can’t imagine Hooker going all that high. Maybe he figures his stock won’t ever be higher
Based on....Nelson has been planning to leave all season.
1,2
I feel like Nate is more of a "natural" in the helmet than Hooker...
How about 2018 with all that NFL talent and couldn't beat any good teams?Yeah, I think it's a safe bet at this point that Hooker and Hock are 100% gone. Nelson is the lone question mark.Sometimes wild guesses get close. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2019 could go down as one of the great what-if seasons in Iowa history.

Dude. He's gone. So is Nelson.Still think Hock is staying

Nelson is done with school, but I have no insight on him.
