Remaining Targets for 2018

Water under the bridge. I too could have responded in better/cooler fashion. We all want the best for the hawks we just express it differently. Go Hawks.
Really hope we get him that's a solid receiver class (Lockett,Tracy, and Jones)
Actually what fan means is
If we win, I get to brag about accomplishments in which I had absolutely no part in
If we lose, I get the right to bash coaches and players for being losers and not doing what I would have done to win.
You're wasting your time, he's the type of little person who thinks everyone should think like him or they're wrong...smh
You seem to find a lot of thinks in life annoying, friend. Perhaps when you realize you're just living on this planet and you don't own it, life will be less annoying. Time to start letting others have there opinion even, if it's not the same as yours.
Actually just a few things annoy me: Negativity and stupidity are at the top of that list.......just trying to do my part to make the world a better place
I hope we land Nokia Jones at wr and the linebacker out of Georgia. Other than those 2, maybe a nice big late surprise would be more than welcomed.
Is there a late in state Easley or Jewell who is heading to a UNI or NDSU?
Someone we may be considering as a fall back LB recruit if Jayden McDonald does not commit. Might be worth having on the roster anyway.
IMHO, all things equal I like Wilkins better and I do like McDonald. Doesn't sound like it's going to happen though.
I don't know if it's grades or what with Wilkins. I'm starting to think there is just so many good athletes out there it's hard to find them all. I'm surprised he doesn't have better offers than he does. His RB tape looks more impressive than Geil to me. Looks like it was grade issues last year don't know where he stands now but wish we would get more athletes like Kenny Wilkins and less like Riley Moss. I understand there are many unknown issues behind why some guys are recruited and some aren't. I just think if we want to compete with the big boys we need to take a few more good athletes that might be borderline academic guys than we do. As long as those same guys aren't also bad character guys.

Another solid LB prospect. In home from KIRK is significant.
Were probably out on James Miller. He just got an FSU offer. Sucks, I watched his tape and my reaction was Ben Van who ? Dude is a violent striker.
Dear coach Foster,
We could use a 6'2 LB that runs a sub 4.4. 190 would be 220 quick with Doyle.

was hoping for a visit from Nikia.
getting a visit from James MIller is big tho.
Surprised Miller is still going to visit after FSU offer. Wonder why no offer for Nikia Jones. Can't believe we haven't offered any other WR's.
their strategy here is likely that they would feel comfortable offering Nikia were he to show enough interest in us to take an OV. If he wont do that and we were to offer and he subsequently accepted, his level of commitment might not be what the staff was looking for. They wont go down that road, similar to the situation with Ivan Thomas (wr) from Florida.
^ This was the impression I got. It seemed Iowa wanted Jones to visit before offering, while Jones wanted an offer before visiting.
The LB targets are the ones visiting this weekend. I am guessing that there are a couple of guys they have interest in that they are keeping warm and will try to get a visit for the last minute so that no on sweeps in and offers and gets a visit as well. They seemingly have someone like this every year.
im seeing a number of predictions coming in for James Miller to FSU. Maybe we can manage a reversal of fortune against the odds if he actually makes it up here for the visit. Hope he realizes that its Iowa and not so much FSU that puts backers in the League. Still hard to go against the home state offer.
I think we finish up with possibly 2 backers this class, 1 more receiver and possibly 1 more OL. Id like to see the offer go out to Nicolas Sligh. Guy just fits the mold for us at C.

The situation with Nikia Jones seems to be fluid at this point as Hawks are not sure if they have a spot for him. Nikia apparently does want to visit tho. Jaden Snyder (brandons brother) projects at LB. Abraham Beauplan (Boynton Beach, Florida) is a new name at LB, likely a fallback.
I don't get the nakia Jones thing. I get that the staff wants to have a kid visit before offering but A) if you want things you have never had you are going to have to do things you have never done. B) what's the worst case scenario?... we offer... he accepts..... comes for 1 year.... hates it and transfers out? How is that mich different than what has happened with lesser talented receivers as of late that have busted? He is from Oklahoma not Mars. I get that you are more likely to have attrition if this were standard practice but everything should be viewed on an individual bases.
I agree, Why have such a paranoid policy. So give them an offer that can be cashed in upon a visit.
There are 6 former Nole linebackers in the NFL currently. I believe Iowa only has 3.

u right. FSU is a down program lately so it would be better for his future to come to Iowa.
You're right. FSU's worst year in decades was still only 1 win shy of Iowa's record this year...
Xavier Peters flip from Kentucky to FSU may help Iowa land James Miller.
Remind me how FSU did against Boston College. Of course, in FSU's defense ... the Seminoles had terrible luck at QB this season due to injury.
