Does anyone know who the other 4 guys are who made the Dean's List? Just wondering if they are PWO ringers or if other scholarship guys made it?

Does anyone think Kiser WON'T be a starting captain someday? I'll never bet against this kid.

In the beginning, I was surprised when he didn't go to Purdue, he's the type of kid who'd end up All-B1G and an astronaut... half kidding, I think. But in the end, this is a kid who wants to challenge himself at the highest level.

I'm a NW Indiana guy and for that reason, I'm extremely proud that Moala & Kiser are going to be pivotal pieces in Lea's future LB corps.

Impressive. He's no longer the big fish in a small pond, but athletically he can fit in here, and I am rooting for him to continue to succeed. By making Dean's List, he sure seems like he will for sure succeed in at least some capacity at ND.

Just got a message saying he weighed in yesterday at 229. That's up 8 lbs over last year's roster weight.

Thanks mystery member!

Kiser at Mike and Liufau at Buck. Drew White just played at 230. Kiser is taller/longer and a better ATH.

Excited to see how he pans out. I have a feeling he's going to have a pretty good career wearing the gold helmet.

Out of curiosity, can one change their profile name? Even if it's just one letter?

Yes. I changed mine to include my full last name instead of just "Gow" a few years back. Go to the vbPlaza and select username, you'll see the option then.

lets not forget about ekwonu and jd Bertrand they'll be battling for playing time too, this group of LBs could be a lot of fun to watch.

Yea, and I never want to be the guy that abandons young players on the depth chart. But, I think Kiser and Liufau are a cut above those two. Just my opinion from what I’ve read and seen.

God bless Clark Lea

Can we start a GoFundMe for his next raise? We need to back the Brinks truck up to keep him for as long as we can. I think some serious consideration might have to be put in to naming him the Head Coach in waiting. I even think that he could translate to one of those HCs who are known for being a specialist on one side of the ball because it seems like he makes great gameplan adjustments more than having amazing individual play calling, so he could have a DC do the play calling and just tell them what adjustments to make.

He was an impact player in a way that the two ahead of him have never shown to be. He was fast and instinctive and a sure tackler. His blitzing was lightning quick. We need to see a lot more of him if not start him.

Was this the first time he was in on defense? I assume he was on special teams last year.
Very good start. Hard to imagine how he could have done better on debute.

Hard to imagine he could do better in his 20th game! Guy looked better than Dru

Considering that neither Marist nor Shayne had any impact in the season opener, i think Kiser has won the starting spot with his superb performance.

Easy now...USF is trash. Shayne and Marist are good too and I guarantee they would have physically manhandled USF too .
