Re: D2 Rankings
I was a leading critic of Irving Johnson coming to IUP.
My main points were first to question his rationale? (Why Div I to Div II?). Second, to try and temper the predictable enthusiasm for a Div I player from a major program translating to instant stardom at Div II / IUP.
The first question is still unanswered (and may never be answered). The second point may be a lost cause.
Time will tell and, as I mentioned in my posts, I am hopeful and wish him and IUP all the best.
He was NJ's top 7 recruit in his class. Irving has size and talent. Translate that into on-field production and then we can all get excited.
Maybe IUP's offense can become more run - pass balanced and keep defenses off guard. Maybe.
