Need to start seeing some commits come in. Mainly Swarm22. Do we have a realistic shot with Markway?

It’ll be a battle, and we will be there most of the way. I just worry about Bama and the other blue bloods in on him.

They will be there. He'll get the best offers possible.

Curious, didn't we have a Markway from the St. Louis area back in the day? Is he the father of the TE we are after?

Yes. Mac Markway’s dad played for Iowa under Hayden.

 

[Harbinger273]

Might want to get that Kasper offer out. High points the ball with sure hands. And we know the pedigree.

He’s already been offered

Qb to keep an eye on. Nick Brown from Taft Schools in CT same high school as Vines freshman receiver this past year and 21 target Bell we almost landed.

My bad.

It sounds like Tristan Wirfs has reached out to Kadyn Proctor. Proctor was really excited about it, and it meant a lot to him. Wirfs told him a lot about how great the Iowa staff is, and how they will help get him ready for the NFL.

A 6’4 250 HS soph most likely won’t be a TE in college

What? Iowa has had multiple 6’4 or 6’3 TE’s lol.

 

[WB67hawk]

You missed the point. If he’s that big as a HS sophomore he will be much bigger as a college player. Do you think he will not grow any more??

 

[KatoHawk]

NSS. Most likely ya didn’t catch the most likely 🙄 Little comparison TJ, Noah, Kittle, Kelce and Ertz are all listed around the 6’5 250lbs mark as grown men playing TE in the NFL. Do ya really think a sophomore in HS listed an roughly the same size is done growing? Most likely not lol

Kadyn Proctor

Good work w/his first name! The kid is a beast, and would be the diamond of Swarm2023.

I got his last name right too.

It varies wildly on the player. Not all guys only put on weight. Some simply replace bad weight with good weight. Some are already where they need to be with good weight.

Markway is without a doubt a TE.

If Proctor admires Wirfs as much as it sounds, can we get DD to offer jersey #74 to the young man?

Davidkov will be headed to the Draft by the time Proctor is here, so I wouldn’t worry about it

I like the way you think!

 

[David1979]

Proctor just ranked as the 6th best prospect in the country!

 

[David1979]

Also, DePaepe listed as #93 ranked prospect overall.

 

[David1979]

Markway 86th

 

[David1979]

Kasper 95th

Some really highly rated targets that Iowa has a good chance with.

Going to be a tough battle for this kid. Ohio State is the favorite right now, along with Nwankpa.

 

[Franisdaman]

The next Tristan Wirfs.

Iowa has as good a shot with Proctor as anybody. Doesn’t mean he will end up at Iowa, but I don’t think it is accurate to call Ohio State the leader at this point.

That's awesome to hear that these past studs go out of their way to share their experiences!

Rivals would disagree.

The kid is a sophomore. What does Rivals know that others do not?

That futurecast is by a OSU writer......

And? isn't their job to report where they think a recruit is going to head? I just stated that OSU was the current favorite, and I'm not disagreeing with anything else, just reporting what is shown on the website, no need for a pissing match.

I get it, but a lot of the time these guys put that on their for their favorite team.
