Just flipped to Iowa from Illinois. Anyone have any other details?

If nothing else, he looks like he'd be a hell of a FB.

He hits like Bob Sanders , only bigger....

 

[TankHawk]

Looks like he will be a MLB for the Hawkeyes.

Great pick up! Surprised not as much excitement over this one yet.

 

[Kurt Warner]

Sounds like a very nice pick up

5'10" 210 lb. ILB? Give me a damn break! The BIG has WR's bigger than that.

 

[Cougar63]

Does he have a tapeworm or something, or will he grow and get bigger just like every other senior in the planet? Kid is 16 or 17, not looking down retirement.

The Kirk Ferentz can't recruit narrative is going off the tracks fast.

Very impressive highlights. Love the agressiveness and he is a hitter. Looks like great instincts.

Only knock is obviously his height but there are many examples of undersized guys making great LB's.

Looks like another great pickup. Always great taking one from illinois. Just like home.

The field is getting crowded. How many remaining scholarship slots are there? With the huge number of offers out there it is going to get interesting

Chris Borland 5'10 213 lb. 3* with no Power5 offers besides wisc. Just one of many, many, many examples that you and your idiot troll friends should never be taken serioulsly and have not a clue about recruiting, talent, or football in general. Just find someone to root for, enjoy the games, support the young athletes, and try to find a way to contribute to society.

From reading article on front page sounds like new facilities helped play a big part. Now hopefully will silence some who complain about the millions of $ used for new football complex and getting nothing in return.

The Hawks are on a truly amazing roll! I believe the facilities are going to help the program big time!

Jones at the Mike, Niemann at the LEO, and Taylor at the Will, looks like a pretty solid class of LB's to me!

I like the use of 'idiot troll' terminology when the list of people with similar features that don't make it is far longer than the Chris Borland list, that being said it looks like this guy can bring it, square a guy up and deliver a shot. Looks like a good get.

Kid plays with violence. Great get.
