2022 Football Recruiting

[Talkin' Goat]

One of these guys is a stud in the NFL and the other is in high school

Proctor really filled out his frame

 

[Shawneemicks]

It feels a long shot to land either of the SE Polk guys

I saw Kirk on the TV. He's not on vacation

 

[CamelTones]

It’s almost like kids ranked that high always end up at Alabama, Ohio State or Clemson.

And that’s what I expect.

Iowa just beat OSU for two offensive linemen in the 2021 class.

I think Iowa has a very good shot at Proctor. Less so with Nwankpa, but that isn’t a big deal with Phil in charge.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Proctor seems more than mildly irritated at WalmartIowaFan (not to be mistaken with TargetIowaFan) for the constant comparisons to Tristan.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I have Nwankpa as solidly Ohio st

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

 

[Lefty]

He’s going to the highest bidder.

 

[douglasbader]

This is all fucking stupid. A lot more harm than good is going to happen to these kids.

 

[BVHawk95]

He's still in HS. Is this even fucking legal? lol

 

[douglasbader]

Good luck having a whole lot of these kids give a shit about school.

Leostikow had Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz on 2 weeks ago and asked him about it. Brian started talking about the farmer in Charlie Wilson’s War that always says ‘We’ll see’

His point was basically all anyone is talking about is the obvious good it can do without even thinking about the eventual bad shit that’s going to come up.

I'm not even going to say "well, maybe it will be fine and won't be a big deal".

It's going to be a clusterfuck of epic proportions that leads to some incredibly shady shit (that makes the current shady shit look terrible) and so many unintended consequences.

We have all been 16-22 years old during our lives. Imagine where your head and priorities would be if someone gives you $10k to do a post or a commercial. You going to give a shit about finishing that paper you have due? You going to go and get some extra shots up or a workout in for a couple hours or do a twitch stream and get some $$?

Xavier is a 5* stud. He openly asked tonight for anyone and everyone to DM him and that he is "open for business". How is that not an invitation to start bidding on him for anyone with booster tied interests? For fuck's sake, there is a guy in his comments saying he is an Iowa fan and is going to try to get his Iowa fan law firm to try and buy him.

 

[eclone]

There’s like zero way he’s going to even be eligible for his senior year at SE Polk if he’s going down this road, right? Does it matter?

I would think that is correct unless the IHSAA plans on following the NCAA and allowing this. If they don't, they can and have made kids ineligible for accepting money for playing.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Eventually more and more will sit out their senior years of high school after they commit

I doubt it. Many of them love their sport and their friends. Playing for their high school team means more to a 17-18 year old than those of us who are far removed from kids that age might remember.

 

[JR Hawks]

That tweet was a message to the boosters at his finalists. I'd pass on this kid.

 

[CamelTones]

His highest value is in the state of Iowa. He wouldn’t get shit unless he sees the field at his other finalists. He could generate revenue in the Des Moines area the moment he commits to Iowa if that’s the direction he goes.

 

[WestMifflin]

It's a copy/paste job a lot of college football/basketball players are sharing. This is the guy transferred to MN last year and back to Utah last year.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

This is certainly going well.

And for college guys, sure, start trying to get a piece of the pie. But Xavier I think forgot he was still in high school.

Yup. Why should a guy like Proctor play 2 more years of hs football?

Great. Let the SEC take chances on recruiting a bunch of players that haven’t played on the field since they were 16. Much higher volatility

 

[Shawneemicks]

They’ll be happy to take that chance.

Walkon or scholarship?

A kicker is a five-star? Didn't even know that was possible.

Theres some different recruiting service that only evaluates and rates kicking specialists.

This kid legitimately looks like a 14 year-old.

Walk on

[HerkyHopeful]

Sounds like his mom is from Iowa and he grew up a Hawkeye fan. Good number of lifelong Hawkeyes in the 2022 class so far

I think we’re all in agreement that players should be able to benefit from NIL. Let the free market determine what these guys are worth. Unfortunately, this is going to devolve quickly. Kids are going to be paid well above market value by super douche fanboys.

 

[cloudhawk]

Personally if I was the NCAA and colleges I would go all in and make it more free market and just go pool of money this is what is allocated for education student wavers in trade for playing at the University. Must remain eligible to participate everyone is free to do what they want to get by. Schools are free to fund their athletics however they choose too. Shit even get rid of NCAA if they want and make deals about conferences and have them run conference championships and make TV deals.
Just Wild West for a while let chips fall where they may.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I already said, college athletics is dead man walking. Only question is how quick it dies.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

From weekend visitors Allen Trieu put in CBs for Riley-Ducker, Bostick, and the white RB for Iowa. As well as Michigan state for Chase Carter. Carter will be a project in terms of his size but he's going to be really good after a few years in a college program

I'm optimistic for the majority of position groups at Iowa but RB is one that I'm not overly thrilled with once Goodson leaves.

Yeah, some big misses in that position group since goodsen committed. Gavin Williams was a solid recruit, hope he pans out

Second pic 100% looks like he is pooping

The white RB looks surprisingly good. Needs to gain some weight still but is pretty fucking fast - ran a 10.58 100m and 22.39 200m this spring.
