FOOTBALL RECRUITING: Keithen English shows love for ISU

[ChrisMWilliams]

Here's a recap of Keithen English's recent visit to Ames. He is currently a Memphis commit but after talking to him, I'll be surprised if he ends up there. He'll visit Kansas, Utah and Memphis later on this year before making a decision.

I'd love to have a big bodied DT!

weird..in the free story on scout he says he is going to make his decision tomorrow

The nice thing about English is that he has the body to start already on the line. The thing that is really exciting is the fact that he'll be a freshmen coming on to campus giving him 4 years to turn in to a beast.

Yeah, maybe the potential Utah offer just came about in the past few hours?

“It was really enjoyable,” said English. “I’m going to talk to my coaches and see what they think and then I’m going to make my decision around 4 or 5pm tomorrow. I'm still considering Memphis, Iowa State, and Kansas.”

I was thinking the same thing. So which is it CW?

Since the kid already comitted once and basically says he is looking for the best offer. I hope he holds off comitting until he knows for sure. Even if he would commit tomorrow to us I wouldn't hold my breath.

He didn't mention anything to me about making a decision today. He said that he is still going to visit Kansas, Utah and Memphis.

Let's hope that he does make a decision today though, one that is positive for the good guys.

The quicker the decision, the better for ISU.

problem with guys like this is they keep looking right up till signing day. That's one thing I liked about "The Chiz" don't
commit unless you're done looking.

How many of Chiz's showed up?

LJ, Sedrick, A-Rob, Franklin, Darks, KO...

LJ, Sedrick, A-Rob, Franklin, Darks, KO...

I could be wrong, but I don't think A-Rob was a Chiz recruit.

 

[Cydkar]

He's a Cyclone when he signs or stops taking visits, at best. A commitment tomorrow doesn't mean anything unless he stops visiting schools.

Danny Mac.

You're right. He was a McCarney guy. Same class as Arnaud, Lamaak, etc.

My bad. Wasn't Money a Chiz commit and then Rhoads had to convince him to still come? I think there were a couple of those guys. Sims maybe?

I don't know but I do remember a kid comitting then taking another visit elsewhere and The Chiz pulled the offer.

I do get his philosophy about honoring committments. But its a kids future. If he feels some other situation best fits him, he has a right to change his mind. Its not like we were running a top 5 program at the time. Not sure if being hardass that early in the campaign was a good fit.

Problem is the kid uses us as a fall back. in the mean time we think we have that slot filled and miss completely when he decommits instead of recruiting someone else.
