Don't know if true or not but someone posting on 247 site claims AJ is announcing he is going to Iowa on Sunday.

I'll believe it when SP breaks the news. After the press conference.
Going to Iowa as in committing? Or going to Iowa to participate in junior day?
hopefully its true. Bama and Miami have now offered and everyone will be over him. Be a great get if true.
Completely agree with you, but it means a bit more when it's the son of a former Hawkeye.
I have a recruiting question but did not want to start a thread. Why would it be that Harris and Wirfs were both downgraded to 3 stars on both 247 and Rivals, at this point in time? Could it have anything to do with them committing to Iowa, or is that a little too much of a conspiracy theory?
Get the ball rolling for the class and would help draw in other top recruits after seeing the class that is put together so far.
Someone just tweeted and said, "Bama wasting no time, recruiting the "ville" today.
Not good if Saban is sniffing around.

247 has Wirfs as a 91 4* grade and Harris as a 90 4* grade. Their "composite" ranking system has moved them down to 3*. Either because one of the other ranking systems was changed or added into the composite mix as its an aggregate of several sites data.
I am sure the reason they got moved down was because they committed to Iowa. I am sorry but rankings are all about who Oregon, Stanford, Bama, OU, and any other SEC teams get.
I would bet Iowa could get a commit front he #1 player in the nation and the kid would drop because of being committed to Iowa. Rankings are very subjective and they change all of the time. But one thing I have noticed is anytime a high profile player commits to Iowa, their ranking for whatever changes and kids who commit to the "blue bloods" of football seem to go up?
That coupled with a hawkeye win over Michigan, and I will be fully aroused.
That being said, I highly doubt he commits on sunday.

Saw a Tom Lemming show on CBSSports network last nite and he was featuring top recruits for 2017....spent a solid 2 minutes on AJ ...said Iowa is the team to beat and praised the iowa staff for player development...mentioned that his dad was a Hawk. Said AJ is clearly one of the top 5 d-linemen in the nation. Come to Iowa,AJ!!!
They reevaluate at certain points each year...which mostly means who else offered from our last ranking.....bama and some other schools offered between him being a 3* and the next "evaluation"....since bama and others offered, boom 4*, nothing to do with Iowa verbal...sorry but IMO these "recruiting experts" don't know shit 95% of the time....they get lazy like rest of us from time to time at their job...they go off of highlight films and offers and act like they watch actual game film with a fined tooth comb...that's why 4* 5* ratings are pretty accurate and 3* and below is a crap shoot. Hell I could give a list of 4 & 5 * kids. He is 6'5" 250 and runs a 4.5 with offers from Bama, OSU, LSU, etc.Llook at all the MAC level "2*" kids are in the NFL, hell more than 1/2 Iowa's NFL players were "under rated" what ever the hell that means. Just my opinion
Aj is iowas to lose.. I think he will end up a Hawkeye. But the saban won't let up easy... Kirk had to show aj what former players think of Iowa.. Former Hawkeyes are proud they played at Iowa.. And his Hawkeye fandom will secure the comit
He is going to see a FANTASTIC environment at Carver Hawkeye Arena, on Sunday!
Great news !!!

There are a lot of 2 and 3 star recruits in the NFL because there are only a limited number of 4 and 5 star kids. When there are 10x as many 2 and 3 star recruits, of course there are going to be a lot of them in the NFL.
just pointing out it is far from exact science and actually I am going as far and say it is no science at all. There are very few recruiting "exports" that are worth a crap
Holy cow, did not think you were telling the truth but he is a 4 star? When did he become 4 star? #1 DE in country with offers from 100+ schools (including all the "Powers") and he is a 4 star? Thought for sure he has always been a 5 star? Does Rival have an automatic star deduction formula in their program for Iowa commits?!?!?! None the less who cares, now we have some great recruiters for our 2017+ classes
