Confirmed on 19 being WR recruit Vandeburg.

Guy on far right apparently is a juco preferred walkon kickoff specialist.

[Hawk4Life94]

Who's #28? He seems to be the only one put together.

I wondered that too. I think it's LeShun Daniels, which would be a bad sign for BC.

[MikeyJoe]

Iowa got a Juco WR commit today.

[Hawk4Life25]

Looks like #17 in front is the Juco WR who committed.

#28 is Daniels

#8 Willies in the front...looks impressive

30 YPC ... Sounds like quite the challenge for Greg Davis.

Why would he come here?

Edit: Nevermind, only other offer was Ohio.

That sums up the last year.

Ohio had playmakers at WR this year, unlike Iowa. They would have beat the fuck out of Iowa had they played.

Just sayin.

it would have been a good game. I'm not sure they would have "beat the fuck out of Iowa"

[Kotz]

Added another kicker today, boyz!


Walk-on at least. We traded Mossbrucker for a kid we don't have to give a scholarship to, so that's an upgrade to the team right there.

Stinky's head is going to explode.

No, I'm fine with adding a hundred walk-ons.

What I fear is that our schollie kickers will suck and the walk-ons will end up actually kicking in games.

Everyone gets scholarships!!! Come one, come all.

They beat PSU handily and PSU owned Iowa.

It wouldn't have been pretty.

That's a fun game to play

[Jimmie Dimmick]

now you're just arguing to argue (shocking with you, I know)

the point remains: they had playmakers at WR, many more than Iowa

I think I would trust their judgment.

[Gushawk]

We're probably back at the point where we are going to have to rely to a considerable degree on finding steals among guys who have mostly or only MAC offers. There's not much about the program to excite a heralded stud at this point.

[L. Wade Childress]

iowa isnt a big enough name where kids just know off the top of their head that we sucked this year.

in fact, the prospect of early playing time and the NFL track record of our program is probably more attractive as long as we get to a bowl game regularly.

Ok, I've seen parts of three Ohio games this year and nothing really stuck out besides their running back. He was pretty good.

[JayHawki]

I don't know if this was posted already...GFY if it has. I thought Stinky would get a kick out of this.

@BlairRIVALS
The #Iowa #Hawkeyes have added JUCO walk-on kicker Alden Haffar, who was recommended to them by Nate Kaeding.

Please see the bolded portion of my post.

[douglasbader]

Delano Hill offered by Michigan.

[L. Wade Childress]

UM has four other DB committed, but one of them is from hill's high school.

[JayHawki]

Visiting this weekend. He gone.

But if he goes to Michigan he will miss out on playing for defensive guru Phil Parker.

[douglasbader]

Michigan timed that perfectly.

[Jimmie Dimmick]

We hardly knew ye

[L. Wade Childress]

by waiting until after his official to iowa, you mean?

omg you already know the answer?!?!?!!!!!1111

[douglasbader]

Yep. No real opportunity to have the last word.

[L. Wade Childress]

can KF can have an in-home? and NO I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER

[douglasbader]

He can, but Michigan isn't going to wait on him. The will want his commitment before he leaves.

[Gushawk]

This is symptomatic of the current state of the program, and directionally speaking, its seems Iowa football is heading toward some very rocky shoals. They very well could be playing diamond in the rough lottery again, and I don't like their odds of winning it twice, particularly given the current absence of perceptible flame in the staff's belly.

The rising of this phoenix almost certainly isn't going to be led by 'ol gum muncher.

[L. Wade Childress]

gus is really, really depressed about this situation.

[Gushawk]

Not the loss of this one recruit (I know basically nothing about him, other than that he was viewed as one of our relatively few "really good" ones), but rather what it says about the current attractiveness of Iowa football generally.

[L. Wade Childress]

thats what i meant. as much as it would suck to lose him, safety is one position where we could absorb the loss.

[Hawk4Life94]

I think Gus is talking long term.

With Iowa's ineptitude on the field, and lack of "give a shit" at times. They will continue to lose top recruits like this at the last minute when the big dogs come sweeping in.

"Hey Johnny, have you ever seen Coach Ferentz manage the end of a game? Go ahead and sign right here son"

Unfortunately I think you are 100% correct in your assessment.

[atemp]

Iowa isn't in a position to absorb any losses at this point. What have we seen at the safety positions leads anyone to believe that Iowa is o.k. Lowdermilk, Tanner Miller, and Nico Law didn't set it on fire when they played. Miller was awful for a second year starter.

Delano Hill would have to be the Honey Badger to beat out one of those three.

[hawkeyenerd]

Hill is likely gone, unless he realizes he has a better chance at playing time at Iowa.

Kirk would have sat the Honey Badger for Tanner Miller had he transferred here.

...which, very possibly, would be an erroneous realization, due to Kirk

[BBK]

Correct.

Is this any different now than at any other time in Iowa history?

I don't know, I just assume the recruit would almost always switch if Michigan or OSU came calling.

[Hawk4Life25]

Michigan offers Hill....Iowa is now talking to a safety prospect from Ohio....HE GONE

Michigan is waiting on another safety before they would allow Hill to pick them.

Iowa wouldn't have been "attractive" enough to beat out Michigan for a highly rated kid from Michigan any time after its days of being the #1 program in the nation ('56-'60).
