Love the combo of Golston and Lattimore. I think Lattimore is gonna be a beast. Interesting to see Farniok next to Stanley. Farniok and Jackson are big boys.
This class might not get the recognition by way of stars but we got some very good players in this class. Hooker is gonna be very good. Hockenson and Stanley and Toren Young I think all will push for time before they're done. Interesting prospects in Fant, if he stays with us, and Beyer to see where they end up.
Add to these guys what I think might be one of Kirk's best classes ever at Iowa and the future is very bright.

I have a gut felling that fant will flip to some other team in the big ten.

Don't be surprised if toks switches too..

Not seeing it, since he cancelled his trip to Indiana. And I could see Fant leaving, but Iowa is the only school that recruited him to play tight end, every other school, even Nebby, wanted him for Defense. Obviously Fant wants to be on O. His coach even said it.

Toks is a Hawk.

The thing that jumps out at me is how BIG Barrington Wade is for a RB. He is every bit as tall as the OL that he is around. Hawkeye version of Derrick Henry down the road? I will be watching with great interest on his development...

I don't think we'll sever see Wade play RB at Iowa. He has LB written all over him.

Wow, I really like the looks of Barrington Wade in HAWKEYE Black n Gold.
Opposing offenses are not going to like that looks of it.

My thoughts exactly. Barrington is one big kid. I have a very good feeling about this class and how they will perform on the field in the years to come.

How do they decide who gets to be the "crouch in front" guy?

Most street cred?

Move over Steph Curry, Spencer Williams is the real Baby Faced Assassin.

Agree about Wade. Kristian Welch looks like he has some good size too. Welch is my sleeper in this class. With his size and speed, he can be a special LB for us.

Nonetheless, I feel like the LB position is going to be a strength for years to come.

I stand corrected, then. Still, I would love to see him smashing through the line and putting a hurt on some opposing LBs and Safeties.
