Offense predictions for next year...

[tarun262]

I expect the following to likely happen based on our recruiting class:

• QB - Speight
• WRs - DPJ, Harris, Black, Crawford (that's the rotation)
• Slot WRs - Perry, McDoom
• RBs - Isaac, Evans
• TEs - Bunting, Assiasi
• O-Line - Ruiz, Bredeson, JBB, Cole, Newsome

I also think McDoom and Nate Johnson are going to become full time punt/kick-off returners given the massive depth we now have amongst our WRs.

What about Kareem Walker? Any news on him?

I hope he is in the rotation - he had a terrible Sr. year in highschool where he appeared impatient and fumbled quite a bit which is why his rankings dropped. He has the talent but I think he would be in the 3/4 deep rotation. Evans seems like the real deal with his speed, etc. All depends on the O-line really

I'd add Brad Hawkins who was at a Prep school in Conn.. That kid can flat out run has bi hands and extremely athletic. I wouldn't forget him. Saying @ Camden High; "you want the High , you got the High" Come on Bad don't make me look old and foolish. GBGB"74

Fairly confident that unfortunately Newsome won't be back next year

There's been good news this week, and Newsome playing this fall is looking more possible.

There's an outside chance he gets some work in, in the Spring. (!!!)

Kid is tough. His return would be a major boost to the OL, IMO.

Go Blue. Always.

Praying for Newsome's healing and strength . GBGB"74

Ever since his injury JH made it a requirement for all linemen to wear knee braces didn't he?

Knee braces have been mandatory at Iowa since the Haden Fry era back in the mid 1980s. I'm surprised UM has not done the same ! "74

They used to wear them-probably Moeller/Carr era.

I'd never be happier to be wrong, that's really encouraging!
