Regarding Football Recruiting Coverage:
I honestly haven't had time to follow up on the visits too much due to other priorities. I know we have some new targets and some new priorities but I haven't had time to follow up on all of the information with second or third sources. I have had several conversations about the visits but it all comes down to the players' mind set and options in the end. It takes hour(s) of research sometimes on each individual player to know everything and I just don't have the time or resources.
To be honest, there are way too many recruiting targets (dozens of them) for me to follow up on each of them like the other sites do. They have corporations behind them that help with everything and I just have this as a non profitable site
While I would love to post everything I know or have heard, it wouldn't be proper without further research.
I know there are members that want me to cover recruiting more but I just can't follow all of the possible recruiting target's mood changes and comings and goings. It would be a fun job to have but one I have to leave up to those that get paid to do it full-time. I know it's something that people want but there's a reason that kind of information comes at a cost, it takes a full-time staff to follow all of the changes, leads and tips.
Now, with that said, I will post things that I confirm with multiple sources and news about big-time prospects and/or commitments. That won't change, but all of the low-level interest tracking takes too many people too many hours to keep up-to-date on.

I was wondering the same thing at the Kansas State game and went down and tried to look at name tags and talk to anyone down there. Basically I met a ISU staff member from the athletic department who said that there were 16 recruits and the only name I saw for sure was Fabian Brown. He was a pretty small kid though for a LB I thought.

I wouldn't say too small, 6'3 230 lbs, i think Fabian is going to be a good one. Living in Des Moines i have seen plenty of Roosevelt games and he is a very good tackler, and moves laterally very well.
I would say Fabian will prolly be a solid outside, or good Defensive End, he is pretty big now and prolly had D-End speed rather than linebacker speed, but we will see. So far I like the class, we just need a JUCO rush end and a JUCO corner and some good solid young freshman with potential and I am happy!!!
