I went to high school with Rick and noticed on Facebook that he and a bunch of players had gotten together. Rick made an interesting comment that 7-8 of the starting 11 on defense were all from Iowa. I'm not certain exactly which year that was, but how many defensive starters this year will be from Iowa? Rick was a perfect example of an unheralded kid coming out of high school and being developed. That just doesn't seem to happen very often anymore.
