FOOTBALL RECRUITING: JUCO DT Henry Simon commits

[ChrisMWilliams]

Per source: Iowa State just picked up a commitment from Henry Simon, a DT out of Grossmont JC.

From what I understand, he has not signed a letter of intent yet but has committed to Iowa State.

 

[ChrisMWilliams]

Per Grossmont website, he's 6-foot-3, 290-pounds.

For 2011?

Good news. I imagine you're still gathering the facts on this, but will he enroll for summer classes (be on campus this summer)?

 

[ChrisMWilliams]

Yes..

Yeah still working on it. I imagine that Iowa State will have to get his academic stuff in order since he is a late JUCO. Maybe we'll see a release tomorrow? Not sure. I'll keep working and get back to you.

Either way, good to have him on board. Will definitely help with the DL depth and it would be great if he can take part in summer work outs with the rest of the team.

Nice size for a DT. Solid four man rotation and allows us to RS Pompey. Great pickup.

 

[RustShack]

I wonder if hes related to Corey Simon?

No, he's Paul Simon's nephew.

 

[isugcs]

Is he any good or is he just a body? I guess we'll see.

Has a recruit ever been referred to as a "bad pickup"?

 

[DurangoCy]

Another DT, don't we need to start looking for QBs and WRs?

Welcome Dumptruck.

I don't know if Pompey redshirts regardless.

YOu may have a point, but at this point I would call DT depth a "great pickup."

I agree. Even just to rotate starters out a couple plays to rest.

I personally wouldn't call anyone "bad".. but I would say we have had some recruits that weren't any good for us in the past.
