[Dandy]

Ayeni earning his paycheck and more

This.

Mike Warren late in the spring and Devine Ozigbo early in the summer. Awesome hire by the ISU staff.

 

[Fitzy]

Oh my god. Holy commitment. He'll be an angel in the backfield. So divine. Glad to have Devine.

 

[ribsnwhiskey]

The Iowa 247 schmuck is the one who said he was going to take visits after he committed. Now he's retracting that.

 

[PabloDiablo]

Welcome Devine!! This kid has got to able to compete for time early with that size!

 

[CTTB78]

@TrulyDevine_22: Might shock some people but it's honestly a perfect fit love everything about this place!

Not shocked at all. You will love everything about Ames and being an Iowa State Cyclone. Thanks for signing with the good guys!

I'm really excited for Ozigbo. A big running back that still has another year to put even more weight and has good speed. For those of you wondering, here is his ESPN scouting report:

OVERALL TRAITS

Size-Strength-Speed	Ozigbo is of very good size for a RB. He is of very good thickness which helps him break many tackles. Plays with very good strength as he will continually carry defenders with him. His speed is better than most of those on the field as he does not get caught.
Vision/Patience	Runs with the attitude he understands blocking schemes. He will stay behind the line and react positively to what he sees. Displays both a burst and an ability to stick his foot in the ground and make a sharp cut.
Agility/Acceleration	Has an ability to cut and to cut more than once on the same play. He runs under control and knows when to apply a burst which is noticeable.
Power/Balance	Is a strong legged runner that runs with good body lean and high leg drive. Is seen carrying many defenders with him for numerous yards. Is a powerful back that should become even more powerful as he matures.
Bottom Line	Ozigbo is an impressive big back that should make a mid-level to upper level power conference school a very good addition. He demonstrates he is ready to compete at a high level.
Junior Eval	STRENGTHS: Displays good power and strength as a runner. Can get to the hole and allow creases to open and burst through to second level. Has good speed. ... AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT: Will need to continue to add strength to be more consistent in running through arm tackles. Does not have great anticipation to make a quick cut if defender shows up in the hole. ... BOTTOM LINE: Ozigbo will most likely end up at a high level BCS program but will need to physically develop to keep up production after multiple carries.

Iowa is going after another (ranked higher, as well) RB that'll make his decision on Saturday, his name is Aca'cedric Ware. All of the recruiting services pick Iowa as the frontrunner to land him, and his offer list is more extensive than Ozigbo's. With him and Markel Smith being the guys of 2015, it's easy to see why Ozigbo didn't want any part of it. He'll still face the wrath of Iowa's D (pun intended?) on a yearly basis. Don't rest so easy, Clowns.

Was this another situation where Iowa offered first, and then everyone else offered after the fact?

When did Iowa become Alabama?

When did Iowa become Alabama?

Iowabama. They just don't spell so good.


For instance, they can't spell Devine, because he's going to a better place.

LOL with the "we'll get someone better" response. You guys probably thought you were the front runners for Ozigbo, too, until a few weeks ago.

And yes, a guy who plays at high level in TX is going to be scared of a little competition...good one.

When did Iowa become Alabama?

To be fair, the socioeconomic status of their fan bases are similar...

 

[AmesHawk]

Good pickup, would have liked to see him play for the Hawks. Kid is built pretty damn solid.
