This coming weekend will be exceedingly important for Swarm19 as several visits are scheduled.
- The most significant development in Swarm19 came yesterday with the revelation that longtime RB target will not be taking an OV this weekend and is no longer a prospect the staff are targeting. This change came as Mekhi Sargent committed to the class and all signs point to the upcoming commitment of Tyler Goodson.
- Another interesting potential development is that of Ohio TE Erick All's mention of a possible visit to Iowa this fall. Getting a visit from All would be a solid development in TE recruiting. He is an aggressive player and very athletic. Other TE targets are getting major interest from programs like Penn State and Alabama and having likely turned their attention to other programs than Iowa.
- The commitment of running back Mekhi Sargent was a somewhat unexpected one. He had been pursued by the staff for some time, but was also under the radar to most fans. His coach refers to him as a "complete" back and his tape shows he has a great combination of strength and speed. He should be fun to follow this coming season.
- David Bell is a highly rated WR out of Indianapolis that the Hawks have been recruiting for a while now. He has made mention of the Hawks need to improve their passing game in order to land him in Swarm19. As far as we know his commitment is not immediately imminent, however he continues to receive predictions for a commitment to Purdue. He has also received predictions for Ohio State.
