I see where he's narrowed his choices down to Iowa, Wisconsin, and Nebraska. Didn't RecruitR tell us he was a lock to the Golden Gophers? I really like his skill set, hoping the Hawks can close the deal.
Van Ginkel
- Thread starter MarionHawk
- Start date
I'd really hate to see this kid at Wisconsin or Nebraska.. DE may not be a position of need, but he's to good to pass up.
DE may not be a position of need, but pass rushers are.
Yes @RecruitR guaranteed that AVG had moved on from Iowa because of too much depth at DE and would pick Minn because of playing time.
Swing and a miss!
I sincerely hope you're correct there. Great news if true ...
What folks have to remember is that while we'll have a lot of young talent at DE ... experienced talent at a position is absolutely invaluable. AVG has the opportunity to help the Iowa DEs reach the "next level." That is a very cool consideration!
Nothing can replace a motor like his; every once in a while, an old saying that is no longer politically correct still resonates with truth. I first heard it from my father, a university head football coach from the south, more than sixty years ago (and later from our beloved Hayden Fry) - but I know it's been around forever. Remember? "It's not the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog."
From what I have seen and sensed, I believe that Mr. Van Ginkel will leave his heart and his blood on the field, and will take no prisoners; that he will live and leave a legacy of greatness. Now, what remains to be seen - does he bleed red, maroon or black and gold?

I never bought into the "playing time" argument that was advanced to predict that AVG would accept the Minnesota offer. My USD friends and contacts all pretty much agreed that Van Ginkel is the type of athlete who is very self-confident in his ability and that he truly believes that he will play at any of the schools that had offered him. His finalist list now essentially confirms that.
Actually I thought Kilroy was a little more insightful then RecruiterR. Lol
RecruitR must be leaning a little too heavily on the crystal ball predictions made on 247 sports. The problem with those is that they swing wildly based on interviews with the kids AND they don't always get updated.
How many years of eligibility will he have when he arrives on campus as a JC recruit? Would he have a RS year available as well?
Two I believe. Does anyone know when he wants to make a decision?
is there bad blood between a few of you on here? if there is maybe you should take it somewhere else and get it settled. to get on here you would think there is junior high kids on here by how you call names and fight. I enjoy coming on here to learn more and to see what others know so I can be excited about our Hawkeyes.
Most just don't like bad information from people who claim to be in the know that gets posted all over the place. My suggestion would be just to put them on ignore.
Wisco fan here...yesterday the Badgers recieved a commitment from Alabama transfer OLB/DE Christian Bell. That was Van Ginkel's scholarship and they likely don't have room for him any longer.
Good luck with him versus NEB

Just looked that kid up. My God, you guys are collecting transfers like Pokemon! What is the deal?
Thanks for info.
Maybe if Iowa ran a 3-4 like Wisconsin. In a 4-3 he is 100% a defensive end.
Yes, that's a handful of transfers now for Chryst.
I don't expect it to be a regular thing going forward but Chryst has to fill holes from Gary Andersen's tenure. He was recruiting a different style player and Chryst is moving back to the more traditional Wisconsin style.
With the right kind of talent I think you will see more of it. Aaron Mends could be a great off the edge in a blitz package. I'm hoping for a little more this year.
I worked for 3 nfl organizations, so yes, I know a little bit about football. How many times you see an iowa linebacker blitz off the edge last year?
You are correct and I hope we keep it up especially with the corners we have this year.
Sure you did.
You realize we play a 4-3 correct.
Do alot of nfl teams blitz off the edge out of a 4-3?
He was one of those guys in the yellow coats that has to face away from the action the entire game.
No. That's the entire point. Holy shit. Read much?
You are not smart
Understand your original reply now - my bad.
Thought you were referring to Iowa not blitzing, just not lb's from the edge.
NE fan here. Haven't heard him mentioned much fwiw.
So what was it then? I worked for three nfl organizations as well, but I'm not going to tell you what I did. You should take everything I say very seriously.
