Why would Frost recruit a JUCO linebacker if he didn't think he could start over the other 19 guys on the roster?

Here is what I can tell you. We have this badass DC named Erik Chinander that wants fast, aggressive and edge rushing linebackers that can get to the edge, the QB and all around attack the ball. Will Honas is his number one target. If you saw our defense last season you would know our LB play was the weak point of our defense. That isn’t to say our defensive backfield and guys upfront weren’t also weak. But our LB’s couldn’t ever seem to tackle a RB to save there lives. So I tell ya, we need immediate help at LB and Will would start. He reminds me of Lavante David.so honas is going to beat out Avery Roberts?
its not ok to share and drink beer?Dick I have not announced it on the site yet because I don't want Blair getting upset about what I do but he (blair) also posted Lockett, DJ, and Brents were all added to the U of I football website and then taken down. The only miss we had this year was honas.
That's just not true. A coach can turn a nobody into an NFL caliber player and it happens all the time.
There's plenty of ways to prove coaching matters when it comes to judging NFL talent. You can look at the schools that put 3 star players in the NFL at a higher rate than other schools put their 3 star players. You can look at transfers and find out if their performance improved going from one school to another, etc.
LOLIowa is graduating the top LB in the nation, plenty of room for Mr. Honas to come aboard.
By who?They are also becoming known as DB U.

Now THAT was funny!All Iowa fans I know are db's.
You can go.... your not needed here....everGreat get on Honas he was the only recruit you got that I would have liked to see as a Hawkeye.

Sucks for Will. I looked at what your roster is looking like next year as far as linebackers. You have 19 of them on the roster. Kid isn't even gonna see the field. I kind of feel bad for him
And your best recruit begged to be a Husker.Great get on Honas he was the only recruit you got that I would have liked to see as a Hawkeye.

Great post, agree on all points.+1
For example; J.J. Watt. 2 star nobody TE that played at Central Michigan and managed a whopping 77 yards on 8 receptions while there. Decided to transfer and walk-on at Wisconsin. Wisconsin moved him from TE to DE. I think it made a big difference.
Or how about that 2007 Nebraska defense? ZERO talent according to all the fans. New coach comes in and those talent-less players ended up being one of the best defenses in Nebraska history two years later.
Another Husker example would be our o-line this year. Four 4 star linemen ended up being maybe the worst o-line in Husker history? The recruiting rankings aren't going to be right about every player, but they just so happened to be wrong about 4 different 4 star players that just so happen to be coached by the same guy? I'm going to side with logic on this one and say our o-line coach sucked and not that the rankings whiffed.
Last Husker example. Nebraska taking 25 walk-on's and making them NFL draft picks. I highly doubt those players walk-on at Kansas or Temple and become NFL draft picks without the coaching, S&C, and exposure they received at Nebraska.
Wow, that coming from the Rome of college football.I guess I don’t understand. Did the poor kid not know that Iowa is LB, TE, DB U?
Or did he just know that Iowa is the Jimmy Carter of college football?
