Big get back and a big area of need

 

[illinidarrin]

I don't know a thing about him, but we need D-Lineman.

Yale DL from Frisco, TX, 10th ranked transfer DL according On3

Love the experience at a position of need.
Also 109 tackles, 30.5 tackles for loss and 22.5 sacks don’t sound bad at all.

While the season wasn't ideal, this program is trending up, I'm excited for the future.

Another Yale Target. Some OL targets from P5 programs

Bielema and crew is trying to use recruiting to make us shut up about last season lol.

You better believe it …

 

[TentakilRex]

Also noticed that their are 4(!) other Ivy League among the top 13 on the On3's DL transfer rankings, any of those guys in play?


(Also just remembered, I think this guy On3 had us competing with.... Colorado! If so, Bielema beat Deion for a recruit! Repeat Bret beat Deion, for a DFW guy to boot!)

 

[whatahack]

If these are Ivy league guys, I gotta think our academics can't hurt

 

[JJHUI79]

Glad to see this. Assuming that he's an interior guy? That's a lot of sacks for an IL..

Whoa, let's not get ahead of ourselves.............I hear we're still waiting on his grades/transcripts. /s

Though with our luck, he fails beecause he gets an F on his senior thesis on "Weaving a Electromagnetic Basket Under H2O at Plasma Phase of Matter."

He’s probably pretty smart

Is daxon able to come back

 

[phats22]

i love the early momentum. is this a trip expected to yield more immediate dividends?

 

[Joel Goodson]

Is daxon able to come back

nope (and that hurts). staff was hoping for another season, but something about Bahamas to Florida (the state, I believe), prior to his MAC school, precludes another season.

I don't know which coach from Colorado was his lead recruiter, but I believe they just lost their top recruiter on the staff and 3rd assistant so far this offseason.

To bad daxon got better as the year went on. We missed Calvin Avery this year
