Great work out of you. Thanks for the info.
Good post.
My thoughts
Nwankpa agree but if he stays in-state it's Iowa
Deyo he's a Hawk. I'm a little worried about Mizzou or a blue blood coming in
Raridon and Burkle I have no idea on Raridon but my guess is they don't offer Burkle
Spruceton Buddenhagen I want bad and you're right if Iowa offers
Will McLaughlin after his junior year, I don't think the coaches are that interested anymore, it's ISU
Jaxson Dailey Iowa passes and I don't think that Michigan offer is a committable one
Corey Phillips I have no idea but what's the deal here? ISU offers anything that moves
Dominic Wiseman I wish Iowa would offer but probably ISU for him if they offer because of brother
Jasiah Galvan agree. What are we waiting for?
Trey Porter agree but love his size and his vid
Kale Krogh a nice ot from Ballard I think. I think ISU is close to offering
Kayson Van Nugt(sp?) rangy kid from NW Iowa. Iowa likes and the Bison are on him big time
We put all our eggs in the basket for Arlen Harris, he ended up at Stanford. At least this time we have an opportunity to find others rather quickly.
My cousin told me the other day Iowa isn't in Nwampka top 5 right now so it's looking like OSU or someone like that for him.
However the Hawks are still sitting good with Proctor and like our chances there.
My cousin has never said anything about Dailey. I'll ask about him.
So our new offer in that class is a guy on the east coast we probably have no shot at. If you have Iowa's approach figured out let me know.
It's not really hard. Iowa evaluates film and sends out "feelers" about a prospect ... and then initiates communication with the said recruit. Heck, sometimes the player's coach and/or family explicitly sends Iowa the kid's tape (because they figure there is some sort of "fit"). Anyhow, should the kid indicate that there is some sort of reciprocal interest ... then the Hawks continue recruiting the kid. Pretty simple. Ultimately, if they (the coaches) feel like the kid checks all of their requisite boxes in terms of tangibles and intangibles ... then they also float an offer to the kid.
Sometimes a kid's offer list "blows-up" ... and the kid quits reciprocating interest and/or communication with the Iowa coaches. It's at that point that the coaches probably determine to "cut bait." However, early on ... there's often still the vibe that they have a shot.
I assume Iowa doesn’t think he is a lock to Notre Dame? Maybe Iowa has a connection to him, his school, or his coach?
I’ve never gotten sense that they pay too close attention to the competition.
Iowa’s approach is very easy to decipher. They like to have a connection of some sort, and a kid that they think fits into what they do. If that checks out, and the kid doesn’t say, or doesn’t suggest he has no interest and isn’t a $hithead, he gets an offer.
The kid actually said that he thinks Iowa is a good fit for him because of the offense and likes how they use the QB. I am guessing O'Keefe has some connections here. I don't think they would have offered if there was zero interest.
Never said you did...I did. I will be happy to it crow in the event he signs with Iowa. I just like throwing my hat in the ring earlier with kids. I know Hinzman has said that he loved the fact that Iowa was the first to offer. I know that's not important to all.
This is the one area I think they need to improve on. Need to be a little more aggressive in offering.
Exactly. Had we jumped on Sanders, Williams, and others earlier, who knows what happens.
Watched some of that tape, yes please. Taller Drew Tate.
Going to be interesting to see the offers going out in the next few weeks as all their attention now ill be on '22 and maybe small attention to some guys in the transfer portal. Going to be big to finally be able to get kids on campus as well as I see they are talking about ending the dead period for recruiting in April. Also big to be able to have camps again as Iowa generally finds some kids to offer at their camps.
Really impressive athlete
Local kid here in Omaha, tape is good one thing a few friends have said is that he is quite sure of himself and likes to pad his stats, however take it FWIW..appears he can back it up but did hear a few things like he transferred in from another HS and was all about himself and his stats to get to next level. Class B football in Omaha, second highest classification, Skutt is a powerhouse so is a good program he's coming from.
These are the recruits I'm feeling positive about.
Deyo
Raridon
Buddenhagen
Galvan
Micah Riley - don't be hung up on his initial top 8
Caden Crawford
Christion Stokes
Junior Vandeross
Tag Bonnema
Javon Tracy
Nick Herzog
We'll end up with a very good class in 2022. Not sure if we'll get 6-8 4 stars like 2021, depending on the site, but we'll have at least 2-3 4's and several high 3's. I'm sure we'll get a surprise win like we did with Davidkov. Hinzman might be that guy.

He plays like Josh Allen, at least for a comp standpoint.
Was just texting a buddy who is well connected to the Omaha football scene and he tells me while a good athlete, at least in the games he watched he's not a very accurate passer and Skutt is his 3rd HS in 2 years. Dad maybe even 'runs' his Twitter account and lots of attitude issues in the family, helicopter Dad at its finest he told me. Be wary, just passing along some info, maybe he's matured. If true, a perfect fit for Frosty...
Accuracy issues. Ugh.
He would have better numbers, if the receivers could catch a cold in some of those early clips. lol
Porter, Galvan, Stokes & Vandeross! Get them in black & gold!
Yeah bummer. Kid can run and plays with some brass ones but if he has accuracy and attitude issues probably won’t happen. I’m sure the staff will do their homework on this one.
Really depends if it’s attitude issues or swagger. If a guy is confident in his abilities, I wouldn’t be upset with him at all.
Yeah I agree completely. Tate had that...CJB as well and it sounds like Labas might have the confidence too. Not counting Hogan out either. To be honest I like what Padilla could bring but not sure how his ‘swag’ level is. Lol.
