I think Iowa is currently in a good spot with him, but it’s too early for me to tell (maybe Blair could provide info). I’d assume Iowa is targeting him at receiver.
*****Offical 2022 Recruiting Thread*****
- Thread starter HawkeyeInCentralIowa
- Start date
Seems like he may pursuit basketball more but I don’t really know that for sure
Yeah ... this was my concern about him. Seems like a really good b-ball player.
That’s kind of what I’m reading as well. I hope he sticks to football, as he looks like someone who could be solid for us.
@Blair Sanderson, can you give any insight on where and how well Iowa is sitting with Micah Riley-Ducker? Iowa has seemingly came back into the picture the last few months, and I was wondering if you had any insight on how well Iowa sits now with him.
Don't worry, we sit well most likely lead the race
All academic now as Knuth has committed to Minnesota. Not much of a surprise.
Taking a commitment from a low 3* this early in the 2022 class seems like desperation to me.
He will get a ratings bump. No camps for a guy from South Dakota didn’t do him any favors. He is good watch his film. I would not have complained at all if he would have picked Iowa
My guess with King, would be primarily WR or possibly as a safety. I believe his primary position is WR in HS. If I had to guess, he will likely be a BB recruit instead of a FB recruit. No inside info, but just a gut feeling after watching his highlights.
This is very true. I also think that with Graves, he will already be at near DT size by the time he gets here. The kid will probably play at close to 300 lbs and be a disruptive handful from all over the Dline.
Looks like Hawks are recruiting Will McLaughlin again, they held a virtual visit for him. Still think ISU is the leader though.
Sounds like it. I’d have to imagine ISU still has the lead, he grew up a big fan of them.
Caden Becker is a great kid. Good student, Works extremely hard. As far as the 3 High schools, that is true. The pandemic put us in a bad position. He attended Millard West freshman and sophomore year and transferred to Omaha Burke 2nd semester of his sophomore year because they ran a more college friendly offense at the QB position for his junior year. About a month into this the pandemic hit and he was in virtual school. Because of the pandemic, Burke and the other OPS schools elected to not have football on the last day of summer for his Upcoming junior year so in order to play, he transferred to Omaha Skutt for his Junior and Senior year. We had to move mountains to do this. Sold our family home of 15 years and got a rental and moved in order for him to be eligible to play. Caden has been working his whole life to play college football at a high level. Without junior film at the QB position, those prospects would have been bleak. Any good parent would have done the same thing if they could. Glad it worked out for him. Get tired of anonymous people trying to disparage our family. We are good people and have raised two really good kids.

Appreciate the response. I look at it like this, if i knew my son was talented enough to get a D1 offer, he wanted it badly enough, then we’d do whatever we could to get him in the best position to excel and showcase his talent.
Good for you. The recruiting process is a grind and stressful, especially during Covid. Congrats to him for earning a D1 scholarship. He's obviously put in the work.
Best of luck to your son. Sounds like he fits the profile of the type of player and person that Kirk Ferentz has always valued when looking at prospects. I hope it pays off for him.
You’re a parent trying to help his son achieve his dream. I see nothing wrong with what you’re doing.
Thanks for posting. Apologies for posting rumors, obviously you are family and reflecting back on this I would probably do the same things for my family given the situation. Good luck to you and Caden at Northern Illinois or if he gets a P5 offer!
Appreciate that!
We are surely playing NIU in the next five seasons so we may get a chance to see this kid quarterback. Hell, we get transfers from NIU he might still end up a Hawk.
Isn’t this just a pretty little graphic?
Aaron Graves, (from his picture), has great upper body development and he is still in high school. The kid is going to be a monster at Iowa!
This actually makes no sense to me, a 6' 5" 220 lb QB is not a good fit for the offense they run.
