    Vert’s size is killing him

    Shea can easily move up to #5. Hurts isn’t that good, and I like Shea better than Ehlinger

      As noted below, Hurts was already as good a passer as a true freshman as Patterson was as a junior.

        As with all things, was he as good of a passer? Or was he just on a better team with more weapons? Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith both ran for a lot of yards, but Sanders was a better running back who didn’t have the advantage of playing with Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, and a host of awesome offensive linemen.

          Even if you want to trot out some exotic advanced stats to prove he wasn’t, the point remains that as a true freshman, he had stats comparable to Patterson’s as a junior, and he’s had two more years to improve.

    Very cool scene with McGregor. Harbaugh, like Beilein, seems to have surrounded himself with young energetic assistants who can recruit. In the era of full support staffs, strength training teams, and ‘analysts’ this is absolutely the right approach.

    Shea Patterson should ranked higher than #7. But time will tell. 🙂
    And he has Jalen Hurts too high.
    Ed Warinner has accomplished a lot with Jon Runyan. It seemed there was only negative talk about Jon Runyan before Ed Warinner started working with him. Now he has a list of awards.
    (https://mgoblue.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=19070) .
    Who knows how many awards he will get this year.

      Any QB for Oklahoma is probably going to put up huge numbers.

        That’s probably true. But I don’t think Jalen Hurts has the passing abilities that Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray have. But can run like a TB.

    I liked how OL has become a position of strength. There was a time when we were hoping that Runyan and Bredeson wd become passable linemen.

    At the same time, it is quite impressive that Iowa has always managed to spot lowly rated TE and OL and turn them in great prospects. Last year was the TE duo. This year, they have two good tackle.
