YES! Helps soften the blow about Honas news, too!
He had been on Iowa’s wish list for a long time, now.
Welcome, Dallas!

Welcome, Dallas!
Parker's track record is showing up in recruiting!!!!
Tell ya what fellas this defense got recognized and th coaches seemed to have capitilized. Let's keep fueling that fire. #gohawks.
He has not ended anywhere but there is a rumor wiscy got in late and he might visit them Jan 12th.
Let's try to keep this thread on joy over landing Craddieth. Start a new thread on speculation on Honas if you wish.
He had to have signed for anybody associated with the football program to mention him by name- When phil parker mentioned having a safety/lb hybrid in our 4-3 (essentially what Nieman played) this is the type of athlete he was thinking of.
Craddieth's build reminds me quite a bit of Kirksey .... long and lean ... but also tough and physical. Definitely the right sort of individual to fit what Phil is looking for!
Why would he want to be on the losing end of Nate Stanley's revenge next September when the Badges play at Kinnick (probable night game --- slayed in prime time).
Big-time fight for Honus, his card goes for well over $2 million.
Really good get for you, Hawks. Wish Nebraska would have been able to swing him. Congrats.
Haha, a Nebby fan responded to his tweet by saying that Iowa will be lucky to play in one B1G title game while he's there. Got damn, their tears are delicious.
Wheeee! When's the last time we've been on this end of a big singing day announcement?
I believe the St. Louis area can be a great recruiting area for skilled athletes ( Hayden Fry would call them "speed merchants") that Iowa can never land from the states like Texas or Florida. Williams will be the surname to know in St. Louis next year (see link below4 of top 15 MO HS prospects last name are Williams). Iowa needs to work this Dallas Craddieth thread into a pipeline as Mizzou did a stupid thing moving to SEC. With Nebraska, Mizzou and Arkansas down in college program standings, Iowa, Oklahoma and the SEC are coming into St. Louis area harder.
I hope can land 2019 MO HS prospects WR Marcus Washington, S Jalani Williams, and ATHs Isaiah Azubuike and Isaiah Williams. Washington and Isaiah Williams are national level recruits. Iowa needs some payback on Mizzou for the Hoch brothers, even if they were only average in college. I am also curious if Iowa will be watching the progress of Iowa Western JUCO prospect Chester Graves who did not go to Ole Miss (grades). Chester was a great athlete (6'4" 240) who considered a DE but played MLB his senior year in HS and was one of best defensive stars in the Midwest. Iowa Western has been good for Iowa's recruiting.

Levar Woods is making a good name for himself amongst recruits in this area and Iowa could be very competitive this year .

I’m with TheHawkeyeDude.. St.Louis is jam packed with skilled athletes! I saw in Craddieth’s highlight film him play, Safety,WR,LB,CB,he returned kicks I even saw him take a snap.. I’m excited about this kid. Of course around here we aren’t big into stars we usually don’t have that problem anyway but I can see why he got four of them. Skilled Athlete and I think he plays in a conference thats highly competitive and produces a lot of D1 Kids! This Kids a football player!
Work ethic and character with smart can take someone with less stars further in life than simply above average talents.
