I’m so freaking happy.

 

[BirdistheWord]

Boom!

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Wow. What an offer list. YUUUUGE get.

 

[UNIowaHawk]

 

[michael.nelson311]

It was worth the wait

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

It was worth the wait

Worth the blacklist I’m probably about to get too lmao.

 

[FreddyUI]

I’m so freaking happy.

I totally agree!

 

[BirdistheWord]

First Rivals 4 Star RB for us since......Greg Garmon

 

[grayhair81]

Great news! RB looks really good for the Hawks.

 

[Tunadog]

 

[83Hawk]

Fantastic! Welcome to the Hawks, Jaziun!

 

[NevadaHawk]

Yes sir! We needed him and we got him! Kudos to the staff for securing Jaziun's verbal. Welcome to the program young man!

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

This kid running behind our OL recruits from last year... unreal.

 

[HawkInArk]

Not much of a “wow” factor to the highlight video above but this Patterson certainly gives good effort with the ball in his hands and fighting for the extra yard.

All I got.

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Everyone do all of us a favor and put this guy on ignore. Stop letting him take over commitment to Iowa threads. I’ll start.

Good idea. He's been pretty quiet on CF since news broke that they'll be G5 by this time next year.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

His running style is similar to Derrick Henry. He should fit in well in the B1G Ten.

Yes, of course I'm saying Jaziun will be good as Henry. 🙄

Playing 8A competition. I thought he looked great.

Playing 8A competition. I thought he looked great.

I agree his highlight film is underwhelming until you consider who he is playing against. He probably plays against future P5 players every game. There were no gaping holes for him to get in the open field and do things you normally see in highlight film
Very happy he chose the good guys.

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

Big get! Ladell pays off immediately. Welcome aboard young man.

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

Would the MAC take Iowa State?

 

[Cudashots]

Happy Birthday Me!

I thought the same thing for a bit, but I watched the whole thing. Iowa got a dude. That is a very impressive running back.

Would the MAC take Iowa State?

They are auditioning when they play AT Ohio (not SU) in 2023. They audition for the SunBelt in 2025 when they play AT Arkansas State. Hopefully the Red Wolves will pay them enough to cover their travel expenses.

 

[MIHawk]

This guy has been tearing up the camp circuit this summer. He was listed as a top RB performer at a 5-star camp in Florida and won the RB MVP at another in Miami. I'd say we got a keeper.

 

[joey632]

You do realize that 29 of those offers were pulled because it is being reported that grades are an issue.

You do realize the clones will be in a mid-major conference after 2023 and making 15 million in Tv/media rights...

 

[Rick Pigeons]

i have heard MAC and Mountain West have had meetings with the Clones. Not sure about Sunbelt

Of course it is.

And sully the reputations of Northern Illinois and Eastern Michigan?

Jaziun Patterson explains why he committed to Iowa

Welp there's our answer on why he looks faster in his sophomore film, also the fact rutgers was his first offer kinda has me thinking he'll be a good one. Rutgers seems to have a history of being first or early offers to guys that go elsewhere and shine it seems like lol.

 

[grayhair81]

Young Mister Hinzman-you have a chance to be part of the best offensive line in the B1G in 2022. Wisconsin is a great school but you need to visit Kinnick for a night game. You could be the last piece needed to forge an epic run. Come on down!

 

[TouchdownMyPants]

Yeah baby!

 

[unoHawkeye]

Any time the Hawks get priority commits, you gotta love it, even more so given how great Iowa backs have looked (according to reports from posters here) this Spring. Ladell Betts is doing awesome things for this RB room already.

It’s not difficult to be optimistic about the direction of this offense given what we are seeing at RB, how Copeland has transformed the receiving room since he’s been here, and our traditionally solid line play

Welcome Jaziun!

I like this commit even more having read that. The cold thing gets way too much pub. Really. It is balmy here compared to Minneesoda or Nort Dakoda.

Jaziun Patterson explains why he committed to Iowa

"If you’re an Iowa fan, here’s what you should know about me: I’m humble. I work hard and I’m a competitor. I love competition.

And I’m ready."

Love this kid already.

Same - watched from start to finish. Gives good effort.

Edit: watched 4 or so minutes of his Soph. film - he looked pretty darn impressive.

Imagine making up easily debunked lies to slander a HS kid. His GPA is even higher than his teammate who just committed to Georgia Tech. #deleteyouraccount

Among the offensive prospects for the rising senior (2022) class include Jamaree Dukes (RB, 6-0, 210 – 2.6 GPA), solid and talented Aaron Hicks (OG, 6-2, 315 – 2.8 GPA), emerging standout Joseph Kennerly (WR, 5-9, 175, 3.2 GPA), impressive Jaziun Patterson (RB, 5-11, 190, - 2.9 GPA), Wilbert Phillips (OT, 6-5, 300 – 2.8 GPA), Kamari Philpart (WR, 6-3, 180 – 2.6 GPA), Jamari Pierre (OT, 6-4, 260 – 2.8 GPA), Ajani Robinson (OC, 6-3, 300 – 2.7 GPA) and receiver Sharrod Ryals (5-9, 160 – 2.7 GPA).
