[hawkeyealum]

How do we feel about this @Monster and @nolookpass?

 

[Monster]

Walk ons are great.

 

[Herky823]

How do we feel about this @Monster and @nolookpass?

Monster doesn't have any expectations and NLP feels that even if he's good Ferentz will reveal he's been hiding a fourth son who will start over him.

 

[hawkeyealum]

I should have phrased that differently. You guys are more (or at least you) plugged into the DSM high school football scene.

What is this kid like? He doesn’t strike me and the normal Iowa PWO

 

[hawkeyealum]

And by that I mean I’m pretty sure he’s black

 

[nolookpass]

How do we feel about this @Monster and @nolookpass?

Kids got a good frame and can run a little bit. it also might be a case of the Hawks looking entrench themselves in Southeast Polk as there's a couple sophomores who are going to be D1 players and a freshman who might be a top 50 player in the whole country

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Xavier Nwankpa a So from SEP already has "offers" from Iowa State and Nebrantska.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

does this 6'5 250 Fr have a name?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Why would Monster have an opinion on this?

 

[CamelTones]

Why would Monster have an opinion on this?

I was gonna say maybe he had heard about this kid but then I remembered he’s deaf.

This kid is fucking good. Was really impressed with him when SEP played Waukee.

Wagner took the opening kick back for a TD. He’s a smooth runner. Big kid too.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Why would Monster have an opinion on this?

I just asked because I know his kids do, or use to play high school football in Des Moines area. Wondered if he knew anything about this kid. I've never heard of him.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Nice gif of a comically large Lukas Van Ness getting a sack this past weekend

 

[eclone]

From the latest recruiting article from Bain

Iowa will also need to add another punter. Gavin Meyers, a five-star punter out of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, visited Iowa last weekend.

 

[Jimmie Dimmick]

beg pardon? 5 star what now?

 

[MikeyJoe]

a five-star punter

Kirk:

 

[Jimmie Dimmick]

Only ranking I see for that kid is as a 3 star DE

 

[HerkyHopeful]

The ranking is likely from one of the kicking camps, which favor kids that spend time with them. So they're skewed, but recruiting kickers/punters overall is such a shit show.

Think about some of the guys Iowa offered scholarships to out of high school - Trent Mossbrucker, Mick Ellis, Jonny Mullings, Connor Kornbrath. All were pretty awful. They hit on Schlichter, Kaeding, and Ryan Donahue. I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but it seems they've had much more success taking several walkons and developing them.

Right. From what I understand a lot of people feel like kids who spend more money at this specific camp are given higher rankings than they deserve.

 

[nolookpass]

OL from Southeast Polk who has verbal to a directional Illinois school is still getting recruited by the Hawks and may get a late offer

I genuinely do not understand why anyone would bother offering a scholarship to a kicker out of high school, it seems like a total crapshoot. Bama has recruited a bunch of number 1 ranked kickers and it seems like their place kicking game is always a shitshow.

Even if the NFL, most of the highly drafted kickers have been trash, while the best kicker of all time is an undrafted guy from South Dakota State who started in NFL Europe. No one knows what they're doing.

Harbaugh spent the night at Nordins house and he’s only used for kicks around 50 yards.

Iowa’s has success picking up grad transfer punters, just keep going that route until some walk-on figures it out.

 

[jandj]

does this 6'5 250 Fr have a name?

I think his name is Kaden Proctor.

 

[Bob Sanders]

Brian is recruiting athletes at TE.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Look at that guy!

 

[JD720]

 

[The Full Monte]

Is he slated for another position? Or did we just recruit another white WR?

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Got to be a walkon

 

[RecreationalGynecologist]

He's a walk-on

 

[hawkeyealum]

He's a walk-on

So future starter

 

[ChipHilton]

Unless he can play safety, young Mr. Johnson made this decision 3-4 years too late.

 

[hawkimike]

So do the hawks have a chance here or is he pedo bound?

 

[Creed]

What a dipshit. He thinks there are 18 months in a year.

[Swingin' Dick Stanzi]

I believe he has postponed his decision. I know a few months ago, Iowa was seen as the 1B to Penn State’s 1A. I have no idea if that is still true.

He is committing on the 18th.

There’s an article on 247 from a couple days ago saying he postponed his decision. I’m not a subscriber though so can’t read it - maybe it was just a clickbait headline.

 

[RecreationalGynecologist]

Yea, per the Rivals Hawkeye site, he's postponed his decision. I didn't really read very closely since I had already moved on from that kid, but it looks like he's taking an official to Michigan? I thought he had already but perhaps not.

 

[sergeanthulka]

In the bottom right picture, he looks like those Colombian chicks BBK is always posting pictures of...

 

[Bonner]

Gavin Williams will be a good one from what I saw tonight.
