Article that came out TODAY says all signs point to him coming to Iowa State.

And he is visiting on Friday if I read that correctly.

that article is a year old

I'm just saying he didn't make them up. Idk what happened the past year or if he might not make grades who knows.

 

[IAStubborn]

Those offers can't all be real. And by real I mean committable. Because if you have those offers and they're committable you shouldn't be considering ISU.

Looks like he picked up most his jr. Year. Sometimes you can wait too long, other times if your grades are in question they move on before you can commit or they don't want the gamble

 

[Luth4Cy]

So I'm going to assume we are supposed to complain that he's too big for a linebacker, too small to be a DT, and if he moves to DE we'll say he's 240 lbs? Am I doing this right.

Seriously, would be a good get though.

The kid could be Clark Kent and the negative ninnies here would say he sucks because he can't handle kryptonite.

Inside info tells me that he wanted to commit, but Rhoads wouldn't let him commit until he visits first, which is this weekend.

Maybe kind of like a Dvario Montgomery type? He picked up a ton of offers then they dropped off.

Maybe a good strategy on CPR's part. Get him into Hilton for the KU game and make sure he is 100% all in.

Reel 'im in, Wally!

Wow, would be a game changer for us. Could be a great weekend for Iowa State athletics if all goes as planned.

Did a little research. Following his Jr. Year he was a 6' 235lb MLB 4* rated #7 MLB in the country. Was home schooled but played FB for the public school. Seems like he was Home Schooled because he needed to have time to work to provide for his child he had prior to his Jr. In HS. Seems logical because of this arrangement he is missing core classes and or test scores. He also put on 35 lbs in the last year that doesn't look like good weight. I would say this kid is really high reward and while high risk for Alabama isn't for us at this point. Kid gets in the weight room and gets his credits in order we could be getting the next knott/klien/George or Stud DL if he keeps the weight. Like I said a no lose and if he is ineligible due to classes credits we get him plugged into Iwcc.

Gosh, we are going to lose him to Iowa State?

 

[Cyclonetrombone]

I guess that thread lecturing people about being negative toward Rhoads worked... we were less negative, and now this news... correct?

Well they'd be right...

247 has him as the #666 composite recruit in the country. Think I know why all those schools are now steering clear..

Jackson actually has a pretty damn good score. Probably would be about the top of our recruiting class. And I believe his score is higher than that of Devine Ozigbo.

 

[IAStubborn]

I have no idea about this kid. Reading an interview about his commitment but not really to Iowa State left me comfused.

 

[TBT]

Well, lets see if ISU accepts it.

Why must Kool-Aid flow so freely during the off season?

 

[ribsnwhiskey]

According to trey scotts earlier article, there is another big prep DT visiting. 6'3 320. We need some big boys that dont have to put on 50 lbs before being big enough.
