Padilla measured 6-0.5 and the Nike Opening Regional in Dallas. I think Iowa measured him in at 6-1, 191 lbs on the visit. He made the mistake of standing next to Ezra Miller, who makes everyone look small.

I took into account that he's next to a mountain. But even next to Jacobs, he looks pretty small. Must be the camera angle or how he's standing.
It appears everyone is now reporting that Dane Belton has committed. Sweet! Lots of great offers and IOWA came out on top.
You mean I now have an excuse to go streaking again! Sweet! Welcome aboard Dane ... (and others)!
So what ... we're staring down a confirmed commit of Hunt ... a likely commit of Britt ... and a more recent commit of Belton. Definitely an excellent haul for the weekend! Furthermore, most folks speculate that we're around 2 weeks away from a commit from Goodson.
Also, that would rise the number of commits to 14 ... and that's for a class that could still potentially be fairly small. Of course, it could swell to get bigger ... but a lot of that will depend on attrition. Regardless, what a great class so far!

Some buzz out there that there may be some more attrition yet. Class could end up around 20 again as it so often seems to.
Nothing substantiated or from "insiders" but saw some speculation about Simon and Schulte. I think they were referring to the TE Schulte given the depth we have there. Simon is kinda buried too depth wise. Again just some people speculating.
I hope Simon sticks around. He could be an asset in 2019 and especially in 2020, where DE depth looks like it'll be a big question mark.
What's he gonna do in Jan '19 when he's standing between Stanley & Petras
~ No worries; Trace McSorley seems to have solved the "height" problem; I'm totally confident Alex will, too.
Right. See there was this dude named Tate that did ok when he was at Iowa. Not your prototypical size, but he was a savvy gamer.What's he gonna do in Jan '19 when he's standing between Stanley & Petras
The TE Schulte is not on 'ship. Thus, that sort of attrition doesn't lead to an increase in the size of a recruiting class. However, I could see Vejvoda ultimately transferring out. Also, before long, I could see us losing personnel at CB and LB depending on how the competitions are shaking out.
Fox almost committed but decided to go home first.. he left with an extremely good feeling.
I sincerely hope that Simon sticks around too. Furthermore, I hope he continues to embrace the grind and continue to improve ... that way he can make a big impact when he earns his opportunity.
Thanks for the info! Really good news!
I’d say he is a lock. Those people that doubted you are idiots. You bring good info to the board
God bless my reverse psychology, it pays off again!
Seriously though, this class is on a path that should see it finish very strong.
Man the OL haul in this class is solid , Goodson will have some very big friends to open up the holes for Him . very solid class so far and could be in for a great finish . Now if Britt can get Bell to commit ..
I'm looking through and yada yada and then I get to #6. Hooorrreeeyyyyyyyyyyy ssshheeeeettttttt that guy is thick. Castro was at a 7 on 7 tourney and said he didnt want to let his team down. 100% cool in my books.Great photo from Jestin Jacobs' mom.
#5 Dane Belton, #81 Desmond Hutson, #44 Jake Karchinski, #5 Jestin Jacobs, #8 Alex Padilla, #75 Ezra Miller, #75 Justin Britt, #70 Noah Fenske, #46 Jack Campbell, #45 Logan Lee, #79 Tyler Endres, #51 Tomari Fox, #6 Jalen Hunt

Or Mansell , He looked great in the Spring Game.Gotta keep Spencer Petras protected .
we have LB'rs so I say let him be either the next Thorpe winner as either a SS or CB.
I like what Parker is doing with the DB's and what Wallace is doing with the LB'rs, LB'rs in this class
6'4 Jacobs out of Ohio
6'4 Campbell out of Iowa
going back to the Greenway size LB'rs
Hutson saying he and Dane clicked is huge IMO as I was slightly worried about him flaking. Britt is going to keep us in the race for Bell. Now it's time to show him we would use him as a solid X.
from what I read he can play both guard spots as well as Center, also they stated that the coaches are looking at him as the next Center in the mold of Daniels.
