*****Offical 2022 Recruiting Thread*****

What will be interesting to watch the next few months, is the development along the D-line. Now that Iowa got Crawford and Graves, it’ll be interesting to see if they still pursuing a guy like Chase Carter. Crawford is 100% going to be an edge player in the future, and I have to imagine that’s where Graves will also play. Could Carter be moved inside? Or could Graves have a future on the inside?

Graves could certainly have a future inside if needed

Really like the new QB offer Jacob Knuth.

Yes please. He actually looks to have some touch on the ball and he can scoot when he needs to.

 

[David1979]

Here’s the other new QB offer. Looks pretty good too but a little more competition for this kid.

This one will be a four star with a solid senior year. Gonna be a tough get though.

New TE offer

Offered him a couple days ago. Looks solid, but going to need to put on some Braithweight.

Putting 30-40 lbs on his frame should be easy. Dallas Clark came in weighing 190.

Knuth seems to adore the elite fleckster at this point.

Why do you say that?

I see what you did there. He'll be fine. I'm pumped about the qb offer to flower mound guy. I'm not getting my hopes up, but would be nice to land him.

 

[Harbinger273]

Why do you say that?

Stuff I saw.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Stuff I saw.

Knuth has a Minnesota offer? If he does along with Iowa you can bet Wisconsin and Nebraska will be his next offers.

 

[CalmHawk]

Still wondering where our RB offers are at the moment. Would be nice to see at least a few offers out there. If we are waiting on a coach, ok I get that, but it is not always the RB coach that recruits these guys.

 

[Harbinger273]

He gone.

 

[DogBoyRy]

They turned another kid from iowa from a first rounder to a fifth.

Saban has averaged 3 first-round picks per year at Bama. The delusion among some of our fanbase is epic.

Not bad for 15 4 and 5 star guys every year.

Iowa's 5* player didn't make the first round.

Left early and went in the second vs fifth round and red shirting like the kid who went to bama.

I do understand what you are saying. At the same time, players are competing with many other players on this team for attention. Iowa has shown that they can turn three and four star recruits into first rounders as well.

Absolutely! KF and staff are rightly recognized for their ability to develop players. They do not own a monopoly in that ability.

Absolutely. But then you have to consider some of these recruits aren't only thinking about the NFL, they're also probably thinking about the big-time college football experience.

Can you imagine being able to look back and remember the sights and sounds following a victory in the National Championship game? Many many many many guys that go to Alabama get to feel and remember those things.

I cannot. I also cannot imagine what it would be like to to come out of the tunnel in the Swarm with my teammates.

I do understand the allure of playing for a team like Alabama, Clemson or Ohio State and competing for a National Championship. I would also prefer to see the top players spread out more amongst additional schools

It’s funny because it’s true

 

[TheCDiggity]

Iowa's 5* player didn't make the first round.

But our 4 star was a 1st rounder and was one of the best in the league at his position as a rookie.

Yes. And had physical tools Piersbacher doesn't. Ross wasn't going to be a first rounder mo matter where he went.

How the frock would you know that?
Kid was starting for a solid cfalls team as a soph and probably the best lineman in the state as a jr.

We are communicating with some like the Illinois kid. I bet we haven't offered the rb's we sign.

If a kid that starts for 4 years on the OL at Bama and he still isn't a first rounder, then he isn't a first rounder.

 

[WeRIowa]

Graves could certainly have a future inside if needed

But is he too valuable on the edge?

That is very possible but coach Bell wants guys that can play both in and out. Crawford could play dt...get the best people you can on the bus and they can figure it out.

Exactly. Every single guy that was brought in 2020 and 2021 can play all over the line. The
4-2-5 needs to have an extremely versatile group up front to work best.

 

[MitchLL]

If the Hawks happen to get both Deyo AND Carter... that will be an impressive haul. Likely ends the DLine recruiting for 2022, imo.

If Iowa gets both of them, it’s going to make for one of KF’s better DL hauls in recent memory. And I think there is a very good chance that it will happen.

Carter would be a steal athletically. Played both FB and BB with Jalen Suggs. Have seen him play BB this year against Stewartville. All of 6-6 and chiseled. Needs another 40 lbs, but the gifts are there. 😎❤️🏈

 

[ghostOfHomer777]

Anybody know anything about Eli King ... out of Minnesota? From the same hometown as Karl Klug. Do we have a shot with the young man? What position are we targeting him at?
