Brett Boone

And it has something to do with how he came to walk on at Iowa and earn him playing time and going through the long, hard road.

I really appreciate that.

And I think we got a good one there.

Some of these young guys that are going into the second year, you know, Colston's made a big jump.

Luther's made a big jump, as you'd expect.

And those guys were around for most of the offseason as well.

You know, you could go by the weight room and see them in there getting some work in in February, March and April.

So I think that has something to do with that.

But no, I think we are group.

For one weekend, in terms of the field work, I'm really pleased with what it looks like.

These guys are dialed in.

They're very focused.

And like we talked about a couple weeks ago, the whole coaching staff is going back to the basics, and those guys are really embracing that mindset.

High into the pale sky and into the screen for a homer.

I heard it was a big day, so naturally I dropped everything I had going on today.

Yeah, but he's not a scorer.

Since 2003.

Hold it.
