You are also correct :D

Fills a huge need for Iowa, as it didn't look like they had much at 197 for next year. Do they have a recruit coming in at 197 to replace Byers?

Not at the moment we don't that I can think of. But there is a kid from South Dakota we are getting but I don't recall what weight he is at. Wiltz?

I am drawing a blank and he is about the only kid Iowa is expecting this year.

Kris Klapprodt from Rapid City Stevens High School - He's like a 3 time state champ i think.

To me, looks like a perfect fit.

Herk,
I'd heard Iowa was going after TATE from Wartburg HARD-what happened there ? I am happy for Byers as he avoided a prison sentence.
