Offseason update... a few months ago we had a discussion about what we need to happen this offseason. A few items on the list were...
- not losing coaches
- no offseason bad press
- not losing players
- getting a solid recruiting class
- finding good replacements for gratzek and gatlin
- not losing key players to injuries
- seeing improvement out of qb play and receivers
- seeing improvement out of Vigen
- key players who need to have breakout season or show fast improvement... Veldman, Juckem, Perry, Holloway
How have we done so far?
We kept all of our coaches except in the secondary but swiped a good replacement from UNI
No bad press except for a minor. No players leaving except for Jacobs due to injury. Still have a full summer but were on the right track.
No major injuries except Holloway and Jemison but should be ok. Hope to see Holloway heal fast and regain his speed. Need to see the young guys like Gebheart, Vraa, and Wahlo step up. Hope Smith can become a weapon.
Vigen? Jury is still out on him.
Haven't heard any news on Veldman but durability has been his issue and he's only put on 1 pound. Juckem put on 15 pounds, good news. Holloway is hurt. Perry has put on 6 lbs.
looks like Drevlow added 16 lbs. LaVoy is up to 280. Like their chances to contribute.
The entire oline got bigger too and were only in the spring. Heck Richards lost weight but he was kind of fat so that's good.
We got Boyd back which is important and he's in early to participate in spring ball.
So far were looking good this offseason. Let's hope for no major injuries this spring.
