I definitely am not. But hey! I think I would have been better than some on the Rhoads staff (A lot of them thought Hakeem was a waste of a scholarship).Hey he isn’t being paid to be a talent evaluator
In fairness to you, I still don't think Peavy was that "talented." Probably the top four or five corners on the roster right now are physically more talented. Peavy's talent was between the ears and in personal grit, which doesn't show well on a highlight tape.No. I hated Peavy and Harvey when we got them (and alot of others that didn't pan out, I don't want to say out of respect for those guys).

I do it for fun and I welcome any criticism or advise.
One coach wanted him (Ayeni) and he had to beg and plead to be able to offer a schollie.Seriously on Butler? The catch against UNI his freshman year told me enough.
Some of us are old enough to remember that their Dad was a stud for ISU as well.Joey Peterson has committed to Iowa State. The class of 2021 wide defensive end is ranked by 247 Sports as the 22nd ranked player in Iowa. The in state prospect, who is brothers with Iowa State star DE Zach Peterson, was offered on an unofficial visit to Ames on November 16, 2019. 247 Sports only rates Peterson as a 2 star and does not fall within the top 1500 players in the country for his class, but we all know the success Campbell and staff has with lower rated recruits.

I don’t think it’s mutually exclusive. With us losing at least four defensive ends after this year and next (maybe five), I’d hardly be surprised to see us take three in this class.I’ll be honest, this is the first recruit of this class that I feel is a big yikes. I personally don’t like this take. I’d heard they had SIGNIFICANTLY cooled on him and his offer wasn’t really on the table anymore. Taking him means we aren’t getting JayDen Gray or Townley. I really wanted townley
Townley was a longshot once he started to blow up. I could see him going to Oregon or another big school, but Minne looks like the favorite.I don’t think it’s mutually exclusive.

And Townley could certainly be a non-redshirting kind of guy.

He wouldn’t have made it with Rhoads.They don't get more raw than Hakeem Butler. He was a massive ceiling, incredibly low floor guy. He was never going to be a 80 catch guy. He was going to never make it or he was going to do what he did.
Honestly, I had forgot about Zach being a greyshirt initially. As you said, he put on weight and grew some his senior year and looked like a monster. I'm with you that I don't think Joey is going to bulk up like Zach did over his senior year, but if he does, then I love it. Cause a team full of Zach Petersons is a dang good thingWe don't know that it's a full immediate offer. It could very well be a greyshirt that has a chance to turn into a regular offer if someone doesn't make grades or backs out late. The thing about Zach Peterson...he had a long time greyshirt offer. Then he grew a couple of inches and put on 30 lbs over his last year of HS. All of a sudden, he had a bunch of P5 offers and ISU was forced to offer him a regular scholarship. I don't think that Joey has Zach's frame and I doubt it happens, but if he shoots up like Zach did, we have a major player, because I'd take 10 Zach Petersons on the team.
I thought Minne was full at DE?Townley was a longshot once he started to blow up. I could see him going to Oregon or another big school, but Minne looks like the favorite.
That’s one version of what actually happened, anyway. Oddly enough, it’s not the one that either Ayeni or Rhoads ever told.One coach wanted him (Ayeni) and he had to beg and plead to be able to offer a schollie.
Zach Petersen clone.
