I see KF made a statement about signed but not announced for some or all. I can't find definitive info on these 3. Pretty big deal for this class if they don't sign and not sure what the point of the secrecy would be. Anybody know?

Check twitter or other threads on this. Iowa isn’t releasing anything until the players have their own signing ceremonies.

A commit is not a Hawkeye until the ink dries, I am concerned about Brents and Johnson.

From what I understand all three have signed their official NLIs, but They are not announcing until a later date. I could be wrong, though.
 
I'm not too worried about Johnson since I saw a post where he tweeted a congrats to Craddieth on joining the 2018 SWARM. But that is three stud DBs in one class: Johnson, Craddieth, and Brents. Oh, yeah, and Roberts, too. Hopefully Brents isn't shying away because of the Craddieth signing and the overall DB depth in this class. You never know who is going to pan out, get injured, transfer, whatever, so the more the merrier. Overall, I'm loving this DBU trend Iowa has going. I'm somewhat less worried about losing Jackson to the NFL this year because of this. I'd love it if Iowa got so deep at DB that we lost a player early to the NFL every year!
 
All three signed their LOI's. Meaning they are signed and going to Iowa officially, their recruitments are complete. No other school can go after them. Brents and Johnson are doing their ceremonies in February with their teammates I am assuming.
 
It’s all abou ceremonies guys. They are coming to Iowa. With the early signing period now, expect more delayed ceremonies and guys waiting to sign (make it official) causing panic attacks across the nation.
 
So just so I am clear: Brents and Johnson have officially signed but are waiting to have their ceremony in Feb? We know this as a fact.......just saw lockett making it official

That’s what we’ve been told numerous times. I would say no news is good news from them now.

Nope they actually sent their LOI's to another school but Iowa said they received them officially. So actually both are going to North Texas now.

I believe Blair said yesterday there were a couple of players who signed, but would not announce until their ceremony. Kirk said something similar in his presser. Of course he could not comment on who those players were, because of their later announcement. Adding two and two together would tell us we have two players who were supposed to sign, and evidently we had two players who did sign but are not yet announcing. Since Brents and Johnson are the two players who have not been announced from the group expected to sign, we can deduce that these would be the two players to be named later.

There may or may not have been a sighting by one very astute observer(and might I add damn fine mod ;) )that for a brief period Lockett Brents, and DJ were all already added to the U of I athletic sight.
