Maybe getting Zach and already having Hummel will help us a little more with Waggoner?
RECRUITING: Zachary Ross has committed

that were going to, they were recruiting him pretty hard. my son is good friends with him.
my son is friends with him to, ISU is not even in his top 5 at the moment.
I do. That's why I come to Cyclone Fanatic. For all the Iowa hot takes.
I don't think it's a matter of Iowa snoozing, they definitely have Ross on their radar. Iowa is just used to being able to throw out a late offer to the under the radar type in state kids and get a commitment. That is obviously changing since we have a staff that is willing to go toe to toe with Iowa for in state kids instead of rolling over and going after the Texas table scraps.
Lots of Hok fans, who visit CF, obviously.
Yes, Iowa and OSU are his top two right now.
That would probably all change if ND offers.
Both of Waggoner's parents are Iowa alums and his dad graduated from medical school at Iowa.
Obviously, which is why Iowa has such an offensive juggernaut.
I watched our staff help to make Brian Seda a solid offensive lineman.
I like this pick up.
I like this pick up.
I'm not worried about Ross's strength at this point, our staff has all of the needed tools to make that happen. This did get me thinking though and it's amazing how differently Iowa State is recruiting the o-line comparded to the prior staff. Below are the average weights of o-line recruits for CMC's first 2 classes and the 2018 class to date, as well as CPR's last 7 classes. We all knew that the prior staff put a huge emphasis on frame type/potential but it's pretty obvious that the current staff is recruiting both size and potential. I was never a fan of CPR's approach to the o-line and I would like to think that going after bigger guys who's bodies are used to carrying the weight will have a much higher success rate as far as development goes vs. smaller guys that are packing on both good and bad weight to get to a serviceable playing size.

I didn't say he had an offer from Iowa. I said he was expecting an offer from Iowa. That is a whole different thing. So maybe you know the situation better but you are also great at twisting my words.
How sad of life must one have to feel compelled as an Iowa fan to get on Cyclone Fanatic after an Iowa State commitment just to note that he didn't have an Iowa offer. What a pathetic existence that must be.
Yeah, depends on who we're playing. It's tough sledding against B1G defenses for sure.
That is what his redshirt year and likely redshirt freshman years are for.
Also to put it into better perspective the 2015 and 2014 classes had a few JUCO kids as well which will be bigger kids than HS kids...
