His instincts are off the charts as well. His basketball background will really help him. He’s also got some very good acceleration off the snap.

I should say reminded me a bit of that, not that it was/is an exact match but for a HS soph he is a wrecking ball.
I'm always up for another Wiseman on the sidelines!
I can see him being a guy that gets an offer after camping at Iowa.
More Phil Parker Michigan magic? Cinci is there too and Fickell knows his defense so that's a good sign as well for talent evals.
Wow! I only needed 30 seconds to see that kid is D1. You are right, no way that kid leaves the state, looks like a Nixon/Babs/Mike Daniels clone. Physical and violent, reads the ball, etc. Nice find...as soon as camps are allowed he's going to blow up.
His brother just walked on at ISU. I have heard from someone in the Davenport area that he is an Iowa fan and likes how well defensive lineman have developed under Bell/Morgan.
Looks like Wake Forest recently offered, Iowa and Iowa state monitoring, interesting. So if ISU gets Sanders then Iowa offers Smith and vice versa?
If Iowa gets Sanders, they won’t offer Smith. If Sanders goes elsewhere, Iowa will go full court press for Smith.Looks like Wake Forest recently offered, Iowa and Iowa state monitoring, interesting. So if ISU gets Sanders then Iowa offers Smith and vice versa?
Nick Henrich had very impressive film - as good if not better than Sharar IMO. Hated to see him sign with Nebraska.
I know this is the wrong recruiting year, but I see that Wiltfong now has crystal balled 2021 OL Michael-Myslinski to Iowa. Wiltfong is the ONLY 247 crystal baller I put any trust in. When he predicts, its usually true.
I had not seen that. If so, that’s a monster recruiting win.
Saw the recruits are recruiting Sanders to join them. Both Bruce and Stephens have tweeted at him in the past couple days.
My first choice would obviously be Sanders. That kid has some burners that most RB’s don’t have. That’s also one of the reasons I really like Smith. He’s not as fast but he looks a bit more powerful and explosive through the hole, though not quite as shifty or dynamic as Sanders. Both would be great options.
Why not offer both at the same time and go with the first one to commit? Looks like it's all in on Sanders and not looking real good there according to 247.
I think it’s a wait and see for the staff. I don’t feel very confident with Sanders but if Iowa offers Smith, I feel like we’d get him.
Nobody second guessed that when we did that at QB, right?
In fairness, it seems to have worked out at RB (TGood vs JBrock)
I think ISU probably has a slight edge but I wouldn't count out Iowa especially now that kids the class are recruiting him.

In fairness they were active with both (TGood vs JBrock) at the same time. They dropped Brock when they got a firm yes from TGood.
Sorry, I was more trying to make fun of the people who complained about taking Petras over Wilson
The "2" he gave is about the lowest confidence prediction he can give, tho.
Fingers crossed.
Well it looks like those people were right!
Is Myslinksi a C? Certainly a good year to have Tyler as one of the best Centers in the nation and if he comes to Iowa can learn from Tyler for a year before he goes pro. Can't see him going to Maryland so looks like a Big 10 battle..
Yeah he is a center.
Maryland is recruiting Florida really well so who knows but I would be surprised if it isn't Iowa or MSU.
New name on the radar for a '21 RB? Iowa checking in on this prospect from Louisiana.
Kendrell Williams
Decent tape from a 2-star, has an Army offer, not a burner however long strides and does run away from defenders. Team threw him the ball a lot too, willing blocker, team looks like they run stretch plays too. Interesting...Hawks have options if Sanders goes to ISU.

Add 40 lbs and make him a FB cuz he blocks like a boss in his film.
Eli Raridon is an interesting prospect. Big kid who is an excellent Basketball player for Valley, here in WDM. I went to that Valley game when they got ripped by ANKENY with a friend who goes to every game. Eli made a terrific catch along the sideline. When I mentioned it to my buddy, he said,
“Yes, it was a great catch... which is surprising.”
So I pressed him on it, saying that basketball players usually have really good hands...?
He said, “Yes, usually they do. Eli has the body and speed for a great TE, but ... hands? Not so much.”
So, naturally that got me thinking that he might be one of those TE prospects the staff immediately turns into an OL with some size and athletic ability. I will be watching this as closely as I can.
