2022 Football Recruiting

[douglasbader]

Think about all that NFL talent from about 1995-2010 that are going to have kids that are not only athletes but love Iowa as well.

Epenesa, Montgomery and Kasper should only be the start.

 

[Brad Wesley]

As widely as Adrian’s talent and accomplishments were acknowledged, I still think he’s a touch underrated. 2010 wasn’t his fault as the D line rotation wasn’t fantastic.

 

[Saul Berkley]

That and I think the LB group was decimated that year so that didn't help.

He got fat and out of shape that year. Some of it was on him. He couldn't finish games.

[KitKatApples]

Good effort

Kaz didn’t let him rush the passer

 

[rodg12]

Looks at those two BAMFs.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Kaleb Johnson looks like its going to happen. CBs continue to roll in on 247 including from the main national/midwest guys.

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

This usually means something

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

BOOM!?????

 

[wondergrape]

Gotta be the Ohio RB.

 

[chaneccooms]

Xavier Nwankpa’s mom liked the tweet.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Mizzou commit. 5.7^ 6-5 305 from lee's summit MO (Same HS as 2023 stud ol we are recruiting Cayden Green)

 

[Bob Sanders]

Xavier Nwankpa’s mom liked the tweet.

Dewaun Mack, a DB committed to Kansas liked the tweet as well. He visited this weekend and was almost certain to flip as soon as he got his offer.

 

[Lee Beevers]

Any of these corners were seemingly going to get solid prospects, Robert?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Seems like recruiting a lot of guys already committed to other schools, more than usual

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

Nothing wrong with that when you have good results.

Going to see more de-commits everywhere as this was the Covid class. Good year to be having a good year, tbh.

I know that Phil Parker wants them, which makes them future NFL players.

 

[Mo T]

Seems Iowa can possibly afford to be picky, which pretty much never happens.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I think it's that RB. He took 'Cal Commit' out of his twitter bio.

 

[The Full Monte]

Mizzou commit. 5.7^ 6-5 305 from lee's summit MO (Same HS as 2023 stud ol we are recruiting Cayden Green)

Kinda wish Iowa recruited Missouri more heavily/successfully. There always seem to be a large number of decent recruits out of there every year

 

[Shawneemicks]

KC especially. Very under recruited for football

 

[CleteyColgate]

Iowa is better than every school in the country right now except for one, so it's open season.

 

[The Tin Man]

I assume it may become more of a priority with Ladell on the staff.

 

[Swingin' Dick Stanzi]

Already a crystal ball (!!) for Membou to flip to Iowa from the Oklahoma 247 guy.

Offers from Mizzou, Iowa State, Oregon, Arkansas, K State, Nebrantska

 

[The Full Monte]

Reading comments to that tweet, I’m awfully surprised at the number of Mizzou fans that think they remain the best option. Kinda expected more of an “oh fuck, the NFL OLine factory just offered.”

I was surprised to see that even though they have less than half the number of guys in the league, they have a decent number of OLine. The odder part…they’re almost all centers.

So Center…and backup QB’s seem to be their forte

 

[CurdMan]

Iowa is in very good shape for Kasper, X, and Proctor. Pretty amazing considering they were 3rd at best throughout the summer. Sounds like they are right there for Green too.

This momentum might actually allow for Kirk to continue pushing through the negative recruiting regarding his age. You can’t retire if you’re pulling in your best prospects yet.

 

[Uff Da]

Dewaun Mack, a DB committed to Kansas liked the tweet as well. He visited this weekend and was almost certain to flip as soon as he got his offer.

Might get Hall, CB commit to Washington

 

[The Full Monte]

Might get Hall, CB commit to Washington

Kid supposedly picked up a Michigan offer over the summer, so he’s getting some decent P5 looks.

He was an official last weekend.

 

[chaneccooms]

Wow is the staff hitting Lee’s Summit (MO) North HS hard. They’e offered:

Armand Membou - OL - 2022
Cayden Green - OL - 2023
Williams Nwaneri - DL - 2024
Isaiah Mozee - RB - 2025

And they’re recruiting 2022 DB Dewuan Mack hard.

Rumblings of flipping a Cal, Wash, Mizzou, and Illinois commit after this weekend. Wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

 

[Wanderer]

Who’s the Illinois rumor?

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Brian Allen

 

[RecreationalGynecologist]

Who’s the Illinois rumor?

Pure speculation based on a Brian Allen tweet at the end of Saturday’s game

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

I think Hall could be a hell of a find . We rarely venture to CA and Fresno is true bumfuck CA at that. He’s close to 6’2 more of a WR until this year. Very abbreviated jr year due to CA being CA about covid etc.

 

[Renegade_ofFunk]

there were some moments of hyperbole earlier this year in private conversations on my part with some of the whiffs but I landed on the stance of “just win football games and this bullshit will take care of itself”.

if Iowa keeps stacking Ws then this class will go from disappointing to the high end of serviceable, which as we have seen may be all they need to keep the train rolling.

HAWK HAWK HAWK MOTHER FUCKER. Nothing stops this train.

One advantage of recruiting Fresno is that Iowa City looks like the French Riviera in comparison.

Lee's Summit area has produced some really nice talent lately. I really wish they could get back in the STL area, too. Missouri's accession to decent seems to have been halted. Illinois sucks. Kentucky may start taking a few.

 

[CamelTones]

 

[The Full Monte]

That’s a big one. Would love to get that one back

 

[cloudhawk]

Lol, Illinois...think about that

 

[cloudhawk]

Man, I am hoping there are a block of studs that are looking at joining the Hawks together after their visit last weekend

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’m surprised that there haven’t been any commitments.

 

[TJones3312]

Fran got one and he was on vacation.

Pat had his back. Smh
