I think Riley came in around 220-230 and that's where Vier is at, but this is just off numbers, as I really wouldn't know what to look for "frame" wise. We seem really deep at Tight End; I think it's possible. Seems to me that KF looks for athletes for LT and then molds them into elite players. I think that is what Vier is. Marc, you're probably right as it is a long shot, but I don't think many of us thought Riley would turn into what could be the best LT of the KF regime...

There's also a 3-4 star dt from that school that has Iowa high on his list. Cyrus has a brother who plays for Bama, so most recruitnicks think Cyrus will go there; love it if we got him, but I think we are set at LT for a few years, plus I think Austin Vier and maybe Mcminn could turn into great tackles if they don't break the lineup at TE or DE. I believe Gallery was a TE in HS and Riley played DE.

Great writing, Mike. It's always interesting to see how other coaches and players view Iowa and it seems like it's always with the upmost respect, which is really all you could ask for.

Great article, one of my favorites out of some great sport writers of Iowa. Punter's don't get much of the glory, but Ryan is one of the biggest reasons for Iowa's success.

Aboojum,

Not sure how your post really has much to do with this article. Probably could have written that post without reading any of the article except the title. No where in the article did Kirk say he thought letting lick go was the wrong decision or that it was unexpected. Kirk was just lamenting over a good friend, and the current circumstances. I understand the need for fans to be perverse, but sometimes the Devil doesn't need an advocate.

I think he would be a great coach for Iowa. I think Scott posted this once, but he does remind me a lot of Ferentz. I don't buy that style necessarily sells more tickets. I think style sells more tickets when a team is losing or close to 500. But when a team wins 30 games, style doesn't matter. Iowa fans always brag about our football team's D and complain about our O's tendency to be anemic. Yet, this is a team who won arguably the biggest bowl game in Iowa’s history. So just because Jacobson’s teams have defense as a priority and rarely score over 70 points a game doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be a top competitor for our opening. I have watched UNI play two good to great teams in the last couple of days and beat them; never through those games did the word “boring” come across my mind.
