One OSU guy has put a prediction in, and he did it a few months back. I would take that with a grain of salt.
*****Offical 2023 Recruiting Thread*****
- Thread starter HawkeyeInCentralIowa
- Start date
He has been to OSU multiple times already, and OSU is doing a much better job staying in contact according to Nwankpa. https://www.cleveland.com/osu/2020/...ate-football-buckeyes-recruiting-roundup.html
How are we feeling on Proctor? Kid is the #6 overall in 2023. Will he outgrow Iowa for the Blue Bloods?
Not for Proctor though. Proctor has family there, but he is also from Iowa. Nwankpa is not going to Iowa. This is well known.
There's a lot of time between now and December 2022. Proctor seems pretty grounded and has an established relationship with Iowa, and has a positive connection to Tristan Wirfs specifically. The best things to help Iowa's chances are having a good 2021 season, Linderbaum getting drafted early, and heck Wirfs dominating in the pros. Iowa is Iowa. They're a known quantity with development so it's a matter of continuing to spread that message while the staff builds a familial relationship.
Iowa probably has a better chance with Proctor than Nwankpa, who seems to value going to a blueblood a little more. Not a bad thing. Just hope if he goes elsewhere it's not in the Big Ten.
If Proctor were to commit to Iowa, undoubtedly Iowa's highest recruit get ever, no?
OSU rivals would disagree but they think everyone wants to go to OSU. Proctor said Wirfs is basically his football idol
I actually think Nwankpa is overrated. He is good but Ankeny WRs like Bruce made him look silly.
yeah, not quite following what you are trying to spin here. Pierschbacher was a lifetime Iowa fan as well. Nothing I have said, has any feelings or direct insight into the matter, he tweets a decent amount about Iowa, so that is at least a plus.
He’s got some climbing to do to catch Kyle Williams. Williams is the 402nd highest rated recruit ever.
Again, going back to the future cast, which everyone has a problem with, I would say that OSU is the leader, but thanks again for your helpfulness.
I disagree with this. He struggled in that game, but he’s going to be a great player somewhere. Hopefully that is in Iowa City.
It's not accurate unless something has drastically changed recently.
Last I was told about a month ago he loves Iowa and not as enamored with osu and the blue bloods as Xavier
Iowa is the farthest thing from out of it. And Notre Dame is higher on his list then OSU. Iowa will stick around till the end and will be his choice.
Nwankpa. I don’t know anything about Kadyn’s situation, but it seems premature for a lot of people to think he’s leaving too. Kadyn loves the Iowa staff and Tristan Wirfs is his idol.
Oh. Well that's a pleasant surprise. 🙂 Thanks for the info. From what I know Proctor is Iowa to lose right now. Loves the Hawks and Wirfs.
So you have info on Nwankpa that has changed? he has clearly leaned toward the blue bloods (OSU, and now you say ND). Iowa does want him, but his interest in them seems to not be close to his favorite destination from recent visits, published articles on recruiting sites and even twitter speculation
Well, the fact he hasn't scheduled a visit to Iowa but has one scheduled to OSU and ND says Iowa probably isn't in the top list right now.
Lol he’s been to kinnick a dozen times, of course there are other campuses he wants to visit first. Think whatever you want.
Iowa is in a much better spot with Proctor. Nwankpa isn’t going to happen, time to get that out of our heads.
Any good wr can do that to a db and yes we have a good one in AB. Can't wait to see him and K Johnson develop. Nwankpa is good.
Correct. It's laughable that someone could watch a Safety play in one game against a team that has TWO division one wide receivers and determine that safety isn't good or is overrated.
Fans are goofs.
Iowa has had 5 stars, but I don’t know if any have been ranked the #6 overall prospect in the Rivals era?
Blake LarsonProctor updated to a 5 star on 247 composite. If he committed to Iowa, he’d be the highest ranked commitment in school history.
Kadyn Proctor, Alabama Crimson Tide, Offensive Tackle
Member of 247Sports' 2023 Freaks List. Also plays basketball and throws shot put. Placed fifth as a junior at the Iowa State Track and Field Championships...247sports.com
Nope Procter would be higher i think kyle Williams was the highest ranked at 14th.
