That’s interesting. I’m not sure I would want a TE who struggles with hands. And he’s not an athletic freak like Fant.

He doesn't shy away from contact and seems to initiate it. Would definitely bring thunder to T-Goods lightning
I think you missed the point of my post. While he would come in as a TE, I would expect the staff to turn him into an OL, almost immediately. We have good luck doing that in the past. IIRC, Gallery, Steinbach, Plumb are a couple I can think of off the top of my head. I know there are others. I think these types tend to have pretty good athletic ability and “good feet” compared to most OT’s coming in as freshman.
I can see that. Ike Boettger also kinda fit that mold too (as did Robert Gallery and Riley Reiff).
Given the body type ... he's currently long and lean. However, with development ... that athletic build, combined with a disposition that enjoys the violence and contact involved in blocking ... it definitely could definitely translate to OL.
Two new CB's for Mike Myslinski to Iowa from Notre Dame and Florida experts on TOS this morning. This makes a total of 5 new CB's in the last 24 hours for mike to Iowa. Looking REALLY good for bomber's replacement !! 😎❤🏈
@Blair Sanderson, I see you forecasted Michael Myslinksi to the hawks. Do you know something 
He's very athletic imo...he runs well. He's a very good basketball player.
It would be for sure. It would also mean that the staff hit on 5 out of 6 recruiting targets for the oline. Unless you count Mbow but I think they passed on him after they got a couple of commits.
Hawk in Central - thanks for the intel. Also, it is my understanding we never offered Mbow, Maro or Moore. Am I wrong on that? I thought I read somewhere recently that we did offer that TE Moore but he chose ISU. But I could have sworn as much as he wanted Iowa like Maro we never offerered either.
We did offer Mbow but backed off after we got Stephens and Davidkov. We never offered Maro because there was no need. I really can’t tell you the deal with Moore. Most sites show we never offered but there are some out there claiming we did.
That probably contributed to it. I think he looks like a better TE prospect than Raridon and it also sounds like Raridon has dropsie issues.
Thanks buddy. I would be shocked if we offered since I know he is a Hawk fan. Doesn’t mean we didn’t late after we missed on a couple TE’s but I never heard we actually offered. I do know had we offered earlier it was a no-brainer.
Imming’s brother Alex was a walk-on a few years back and I believe he was largely disappointed in his time, not sure he was given much of a shot. Alex, in my eyes, was one of the best Sioux City athletes of my lifetime and I figured he would make waves. I have fallen away from hs sports so I’ve not seen this Imming play.
He looks like an ok prospect but he doesn’t seem to the mold of an Iowa TE. Not good enough all around TE play and doesn’t have great speed.
Jacob Imming is considered a high end prospect, Alex was not. Matt Campbell is making him a priority, another in-state loss here to Iowa would make those in Ames piss sideways. Lber isn't a priority for Iowa but the one they want the most is the Bonnema kid from Michigan.
Bonnema is target number one at LB for sure. We pulled in 4 guys who will play LB this year and we brought in Higgins in 2020. Not much of a need for LB in this class.
Right but I'd hate to see a talent like J Imming go to ISU but sometimes there's a numbers crunch.
I think Imming is a good player, just you have to make decisions and I think if we get Tag, we will likely shut down LB recruiting.
Yes but timing is everything because I believe if Imming wanted to commit now they would take him. And they would take Tag anytime because with his frame he could convert to de.
Update on 2022, 4 Star TE Micah Riley.
Really hoping Keagan Johnson (same high school) can help us land Micah!

Cool to see a kid from Dav North, thats Ricky Davis old school. I actually attended there the first year it opened as Wallace Wood (Junior High) back in the mid 70's. It was several years later they converted Wood to the new North high school......
True, but the main reason that Iowa used to do that was they struggled to find top of the line tackle prospects. We seem to be bringing guys now that are much more ready to play sooner both in size and experience. Plumb is an outlier currently with some of the tackles they have brought in recently.
You're right and there's two good tackle prospects in Iowa for the '22 class. I believe Spruceton Buddenhagen and Kale Krogh are both projected as ot's. Buddenhagen if offered likely will be a Hawk.
I wouldn't mind seeing this class of olinemen:
OG Nick Herzog
OG Carson Hinzman (I think we have a chance)
OT Kale Krogh (we haven't offered yet)
OT S. Buddenhagen (we haven't offered yet)
And there's Deuce McGuire from Illinois who's getting some good options. I don't know if he's a tackle or guard but he likes Iowa. We haven't offered yet.
i guess its looking like ISU got us in getting the RB from arizona . Stay classy hawk fans, we will get ours
Well, Here's to hoping Gavin and Leshon Williams are of good quality and escape injury.
I agree. Iowa wants him but sounds like ISU. As I have said not going to do “we didn’t want him anyway” BS. Great get and we shall see as with all recruits how it works out.
I really like him and I’d love if he flips. I just don’t see it happening.
His sophomore year he won state in the 400 meter dash running 48.97.
