Picked a nice weekend to visit campus. Warm days in January. ESPN GameDay. Huge rivalry game.
 
This is exciting news, but I sure would love to hear the backstory on this kid. Adam or Chris, can you get the scoop during his visit this weekend? Why did he land here with all of those other offers? I'm sure hoping he's the real deal, and not just fool's gold.

It was mentioned before. Most offers came his junior year, when he was a 235 lb MLB ranked #7 in the country. He put in 35 pounds and is too big now for MLB but too small for DE (6') or DT as an immediate impact guy.

That sounded like speculation in those reports, more than anything. Maybe I was reading something different than you. I'd be interested if one of our CF staff could get a little more intel on his situation.
 
Looks like these are senior highlights (D-line)

Looks like a lot of potential. Work in the weight room could turn this kid into a beast.
 
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.

You continue to be a breath of fresh air. Why don't you take a time out and kick your dog.
