Forgot about DJ Johnson, but as the other guy said Brents was the guy I was wondering about.
0-2? Hell, I just hope the Hawks can keep it close. If they can cover 30 point spreads, it's a win.But, but how are we gonna keep all these studs when we start 0-2.....?
Forgot about Sam Moore. Kid has a good first step, yes he comes from a small school but you can't teach size and speed. Would love to see him and Waggoner on the edge down the road. We get these two commits, I think we are done across the D-line.
Linebackers after this years 3 will be ok.. Amani jones and Welch the coaches are already raving about.. hockaday is a stop gap but good. Then young Neimann, wade and weiland are all there
I think Iowa gets Levis, Waggoner, Brents, Moore and Johnson.. then some linebacker late in the class and one more wide receiver.
Iowa may land Levis if he leaves PSU this weekend without an offer and he doesn't want to wait around for FSU.
I believe that is because they're all banking on him getting the PSU offer when he visits there. We'll see if that prediction comes to fruition.
Something to keep in mind about 247- a lot of their predictions aren't updated frequently, so the crystal ball is not necessarily a good barometer of the present
This is true, because it appears we cooled on Bussell. But if you look at most recent predictions it can be helpful in seeing current trends. ND is leading for Johnson but most recent predictions are iowa. He and Waggoner would be HUGE pickups if you look at offer lists. Brent's I agree with others would fit well and do well. Torres had OK offer list, but having a guy committed going to IMG would be bonus- school is loaded with talent. Moore won't excite anybody now but will pry end up excelling like many others that come to Iowa with similar story. I also think we get FLA WR coached by Pascal....forgot his name
Calvin Lockett is the wr from Florida..Indiana has grabbed 2-3 players coached by Pascal that held Iowa offers over the past few classes..His connection to Iowa helped Iowa into the door but he hasn't "pushed" Iowa onto his prospects like some coaches do at other high schools that have connections to certain colleges.
Completely agree with you. As long as the predictions are recent they're usually reliable. Sure hope they're right and we land Waggoner and Johnson
Think he tweeted to todays commit, something like "dual commit?" Or close to that. Meaning he mighr be ready??
I think he would have verballed to Iowa a couple of months ago if the staff would have allowed it.
That's the vibe I am getting too, but who knows? Recruiting can be fun, confusing and miserable at the same time. Any more I get as excited when unranked who the hell is this guy recruit signs as I do any others (at least when it's this early-bc you know Phil is smirking ear to ear about something going Terry Roberts...saw him in person, offered on the spot and accepted....those types are the ones that end up drafted it seems
A lot of that leg work was done by jovon Johnson.. he is the one who sent him iowas way first..
I did not have Levis on my July list of possible commits because I knew he was visiting PSU this weekend. I agree, I think he will stay out East if they offer. Penn State has missed on several other prospects so far this year.
Also Miles Taylor's younger brother was a freshman last year. Haven't heard much about him yet, but I still remember when they brought Miles in there was talk about going after his brother the LB who was a higher ranked recruit. I think he was a 4 star with some pretty solid offers.
That was Ivan Thomas. I doubt he visits because that whole scenario probably left a bad taste in his mouth.
The talent at MLB must have been pretty good because it was enough to motivate Garbutt to leave. Taylor strikes me as an inside backer (either MIKE or WILL). Hockaday is the likely incumbent to follow Jewell after '17 ... but he'll be a senior in '18. That opens up a whole world of opportunity in '19. I know that Welsh has practiced a lot at both LEO and MIKE - so he might be our most "versatile" LB. Nick Niemann appears to be OLB (LEO) all the way - provided that he doesn't grow into a DE or TE. Amani Jones and Aaron Mends will be battling for the top spots at WILL through the coming years - both guys are talented ... Mends is likely a little bit more raw of a talent, so Jones's "natural" football intuition likely gives him an edge there.
