Boy Kyree Young RB and Tyler Maro OL would be two great ways to round out the class.

For Kyree Young - not sure why you'd want to go to a lower level sec program like Kentucky?? They don't seem to be that quality of a program right now..

For this recruiting class being a weird cycle where we haven't had the opportunity to hardly have many visit the school at all I think we have done a pretty nice job. Howard Brown, Jim Bonifas, Verdon, and Beau Fryler I think all going to be multiple year starters and impact guys. I also really like the slot wide receiver we got from KC area as well.
Kentucky was 10-3 and 8-5 the last two years under Stoops. Better records than we’ve had. Not sure what you mean by “lower level”. More like mid-level. They’ve been raking in blue chip recruits the last few years.

And Lexington is a whole bunch closer to Ohio than Ames.

And Kentucky has been solid on RB’s as well.

Looks like Eli Sanders got a 247 Ratings bump as well, to 88.

Good to see. I just watched his junior highlights -

His game actually reminds me of Nwangwu some. Similar build, and he is a north / south runner, no dancing at all in the backfield, just finds a crease and goes.

Commit Ranking Jumps (Position Jump, Class Jump):
TE Tyler Moore: Up 15 to #37, up 242 to #724 - now the #1 player in our class
DT Howard Brown: Up 1 to #45, up 60 to #750 - now the #2 player
WR Jaylin Noel: Up 40 to #118, up 273 to #799 - now the #3 player
ATH Malik Verdon: Up 18 to #64, up 192 to #891
ATH Beau Freyler: Up 18 to #73, up 37 to #981
APB Deon Silas: Down 1 to #16, up 67 to #1282
OLB Myles Mendeszoon: Up 5 to #75, up 146 to #1347

Four guys have cracked the top 1000, doubling the total to 8 guys in top 1000.

For reference, 2020 had 12, 2019 had 9, 2018 had 10.

With 4 guys still warm to ISU in the top 1000!

What’s the deal with the RB from Valley? Saw he de-committed from KSU a few weeks ago. Headed to Iowa?

I guess Fidone(TE from Council Bluffs) is having second thoughts about his commitment to Nebraska. I know we weren't really in the running for him but would the staff be interested in the big lineman Lutovsky? He might not want to be be part of the mess in Lincoln.

I’m assuming KState figured out they weren’t as hard up for a RB as they thought. Or the kid realized that, one of the two.

If you think he’s headed to Iowa, wouldn’t the thread for their recruiting work better?
