Iose Epenesa (2025 prospect): 6' 3.5", 200 lbs & going into 8th grade this year

I wonder if he will be a Hawkeye???

What Doodle is saying: "Assuming he stays healthy, continues to progress, and chooses football for college (we all know the Epenesa kids are multi-sport athletes, so you never know), there's no reason to believe he won't end up being a very good prospect. And obviously he comes from a wonderful legacy family. Doodle sure hopes the Hawks end up in the mix."

What Doodle is thinking: "Oh great....here comes 3-4 years of hyperbolic hand-wringing, teeth-gnashing, pearl-clutching, vitriol-flled debate, scrutiny, and other-program-bashing that might make the Fidone and Bollers situations look like perpetual meetings of the mutual admiration society!"

Kid can go where ever he wants. We were lucky to have AJ for a few years, just wish we could have enjoyed him more.

How is his name pronounced.?

Fran, I would have bumped your thread with the pronunciation in the thread title.

I believe it’s pronounced “Yosay”.

Never ceases to amaze me how schools are offering kids at such a young age!
