Hunter Dekkers Commits

[knowlesjam]

I think we would all like to see ISU "beat" Iowa in recruiting in-state kids, but the truth of the matter is that there is not much difference separating any of these kids. Both schools will have to rely on player development. KF has done a very good job of that and CMC is demonstrating he also understands that 3* kids from the Midwest can develop into a talented squad.

Look at the ESPN list. Neither Iowa or ISU currently has a recruit in the Top 100. Yet either program can defeat a blue blood on any given Saturday.

This. Most years the state has about 10-12 players that 247 would consider 3 star (or above), so the Top 10 really is it. Additionally, the spread between #1 and #10, when most are 3 stars is not all that wide. So saying you have 4 of the top 5 from the state of Iowa compared to 4 of the top 10 isn't saying much.

The truth is that Iowa and Iowa State get the majority of high level talent in the state...which is a good thing.

Just don't look at Blaise's 247 rating....

By the time I post this it will probably be corrected. Hunter has passed Blaise in the rankings although the state ratings page doesn't show it

Isu isnt the "u" of anything, let alone QB's. 17 total players drafted in the last 20+ years. Tied with Kansas. Thats really bad. Rutgers has almost twice that number.

Although things are looking up so long as cmc sticks around and doesn't crush our collective souls by leaving one day.

Unfortunately, this guy was right. I'm a little stunned we aren't even in the top 3 according to ESPN.

The least shocking development with that article was the writer being harassed by Iowa fans within five minutes of it being published. TEU!!!!!

Granted, we'd probably do the same.

We could be considered "stepping stone U". How many coaches have come through here and went on to win a N.C?

We, good one.

He is now our first 4 Star of the 2020 class. 247 and composite have him at a 4.

Too many strikeouts to count = I wasn't counting lol

Do you suppose he got 28 strikeouts?

Even that high isn't hard to count. I'm an ISU grad, however.

i'd assume he would stop after 21 unless he wanted to stay late to pad the stats.

Maybe a past ball on a 3rd strike? Good way to have the catcher help you out

Yeah, I was listening to an I-Cubs game several years ago and a pitcher got 4 Ks in an inning because of just such an occurrence.

By the way, fixed it for you.

I forgot about it being high school with only 7 innings. So 22 Ks then...

 

[crawfy54]

Nearly double digit strikeouts?

Not Dekkers news, but this picture Golesh tweeted out shows Easton Dean with the tight ends. Might make more sense that we took 2 QB's if Dean is switching to TE

Kind of surprised this hasn't been talked about on here.
