BOOM

 

[Stewo]

That'll work!

 

[CyTwins]

Huge get!

 

[Cyclone.Sports]

Big get and could definitely even play some linebacker for the Cyclones. Feel like the Cyclones had a lot to do with his decommit from
North Texas, really recruited him hard. Here’s more: https://www.isucyclonesports.com/blog/jayden-gray-commits-to-the-cyclones

So excited to see Jayden will be a part of Cyclone Nation. He’s a high quality individual who will be a tremendous asset to the program.

Side note -- how is "chain gang" politically/socially acceptable?

Oh great, now Iowa State's entire DL is hereby canceled.

 

[JRE1975]

Seriously, watching this kids video, how is he only an 84 and a 3 star? You see how quick his footwork is for a high school junior?

Agree. I like the Yale offer.

I don’t think making a reference to an old prison system is offensive to any particular group. Then again I have seen things equally as seemingly general get shut down.

It could be potentially taken out of context, especially since this was a practice mainly used in the south. However, being that Rasheed is black, people can't point to him and say that he's using it in a derogatory way. I mean, they can, but it would be pretty foolish.

Liked our chances on this one since we offered, decommitted from North Texas shortly after and has been interacting with a lot of Cyclone commits on the Tweeter.

Do the good commits actually use The Tweeter?

Seriously GTFO with the ******** outrage

 

[Aclone]

Filtering out the missed blocks, poor blocks, bad read assignments, and complete size mismatch...

Which is different from every high school kid’s highlights ever how?

Very nice get. Now they can focus efforts on Townley, which would wrap up an extremely nice DL class.

I believe Dodge Sauser (and others) rallies the commits for any time a top target releases an ISU graphic or includes ISU in their top list. I see all of them comment pretty quickly.

He looks like a Jaquan Bailey clone. We can only hope...

This. Reminds me so much of Bailey. Probably a little bigger at this point in HS. But the same kind of aggressiveness and motor.

On film and videos, basketball and football I have a hard time telling if the kid is a hi level power 5 talent? This young man got skills, Hopefully he chooses to be a Cyclone for life!!

FB I can see it fairly well unless they are playing small school or 8 man and then it's tough to really tell. BB I have no idea. Even decent players can put together a highlight film of them making shots. I have no idea how BB coaches do it, but most are pretty good at it. I would guess that the first round NBA draft is better at nailing their evaluations than the first round of the NFL draft.
