Stephon Brown was named to the Florida Athletic Coaches Association All-District Team - basically the All-Star team for Orange and Seminole Counties.

maybe more important, Alton Meeks' brother, Soph. Dylan Meeks at DL

He later tweeted "it was a mistake" and "I have to earn their trust back"

Nate Peters‏@RivalsNate Oct 19 ICYMI - #IowaState commit Devine Ozigbo was at the #BoiseState game Saturday night. Picked Cyclones over Broncos prior to season.

Son of a.... This is what lead to us breaking ties with that dude that is at Syracuse now. Rhoads hates it when committed guys visit other schools.

So Ozigbo traveled from Texas to Idaho to take in a Boise State game? Sounds like a soft commit to me.

Meeks' bother is definitely less important than a guy committed to ISU. Brothers don't always follow each other.

@DenverJohnson81: Early Season Highlights: 3games, 5TDs, 18receptions, 377yds
http://t.co/0KCDvzH7ja

Anyone know what happened to the corner on the first play of this video? Looked like a sniper dropped him about 3 secs after the TD. Also I hope Denver learns a few new routes other than just go deep.

 

[Dandy]

@RivalsStubbs: Talked to @DevineOzigbo22 today. Says he doesn't regret visiting BSU, but is 100% rock solid on ISU. "0% chance" on flipping.

 

[ribsnwhiskey]

Probably some negative recruiting going on with Ozigbo. My guess, at least.

Says he is a solid commit, sounds like he just wanted the free trip. Should have told Rhoad's though.

It seems that with the last few schollie slots, the staff is tossing out some new "best available athlete" offers, ala Wendell Taiese last year. Here's one of them, however this guy would fit:

Amazingly enough, there's a JC wideout on the "new offers" list too...if I had more time, I'd look for more.

He will redshirt so he can learn routes in year 1

Coaches eyeing a kid or two off of the Navarro Community College roster out of Corsicana, Texas from what I am hearing. Stay tuned as one of them could come on board in December/January of 2014-2015 if we offer him.

 

[JDDCy]

Aclone, when you posted that the staff had just offered a JC WR I thought it must have been a typo until I looked at Dede's profile. Great offer list and he might fit nicely in the slot with AL, DM and QB next year. If everyone can stay healthy next year the WR depth looks incredible.

Roosevelt Maggitt is a d-line coach at Blinn College this year. They produce some good JUCO prospects. Great recruiting connection for us there.

That's really wierd. Maybe he didn't like being a 5'6" cornerback, so faked injury. OR maybe got hurt when they collided slightly, but toughed it out until the play was over.

It is always huge to have connections like this. Hope it works out for us.

Apparently the staff is serious about continuing to upgrade the OL. Recent offer:

http://sports.yahoo.com/iowastate/football/recruiting/player-Wesley-French-159382

 

[bigsag]

(Just a guess on my part; but,) I suspect that the reason that Nickelson decided to verbally commit before his actual official visit is because of this offer to French. It was likely that Iowa State was only going to take one more OL.

I'm kind of surprised they took him to be honest. I suppose if you can keep a year off the books on a guy at OL that's great since you wouldn't use him in those first two years anyway.

Not sure what you mean ... "year off the books?"

Does anyone know if we are even looking at any IWCC guys? They have some pretty good players.

DT Mike Edwards has 78 tackles, 19 tackles for loss and 9 sacks in 11 games. He has also forced 2 fumbles and recovered 2 fumbles. Those are great numbers for a DT.

DB Mondo Williams has 8 INTs in 10 games (the team has 28 INTs).

Freshman WR Taj Williams has 72 catches for 918 yards and 11 TDs.
