It seems we are getting some LB's that are actual LB size. Under Jerry's regime I think he wanted more speed and got it at the expense of LB size. Barksdale, for example, was probably a safety that they tried to make a LB. Wasn't Tranchiletta the same?

I like we seem to have gotten some LB size that can run. Awesome!

I had the same thought. The new LBs sure look good on paper... and that's about the only insight I can offer on them.

Goober still thinks he's at SIU.

He better have made the adjustment in Minny.

Minnesota thinks they're ready to take the next step - beat North Dakota State!

Tranchitella was a Novak recruit. Looking at the archives that 2006 class was terrible, as was Kill's first class.

But wasn't he the one that was a really good safety and struggled at LB after they had him switch? Who am I thinking of?

Tranchitella played safety and receiver at Driscoll, not sure if he ever played safety for us. Kube played safety and was moved to LB.

Yeah, Kube is the guy.
