***Official 2017 ISU Football Recruiting Thread***

[bozclone]

Keontae Jones is the younger brother of Deshaunte Jones. They are both from Colerain HS in Cincinnati. They only had one regular season loss this year and that was to Cincinnati LaSalle.

Jarell White and Thayer Munford both play for Cincinnati LaSalle. LaSalle and Colerain are both really good football schools in Cincy.

RJ Potts is the son of Roosevelt Potts who played RB for the Colts.

Obligatory post for the million posts. I'm out!

To answer a question in the OP, yes Deshaunte Jones is related to Keontae Jones. Keontae is his younger brother. Would think that gives us a bit of an inside path if we want him.

Yep, sure does...

Thanks for the info! Can't believe we offered a 5* crazy.

Why is that crazy? Offering high rated recruits isn't anything new

too soon

I know. I'm still a little bitter about both brothers going elsewhere, but at the same time, we did get both Bailey brothers when one wanted to go to V-tech and one wanted to come here. Thanks, Mrs. Bailey!!!

This will be a top 25 class. Book it.

I'll bet you are wrong...and be tickled if you are right.

That's not quite how it went.

I see we won't be losing a lot on offense after the '16 year which is good since the defense will be pretty young that next year

No doubt. We've offered at least 1 5-star guy in every class the last 5 years. Assume many before that-just stopped looking.

 

[cyhiphopp]

If anything, the staff needs to go all out to get this guy:

CB Ameer Speed of Jacksonville, FL. 3 stars on Rivals. 6'3" 185 LBS. Good size and an awesome name! Has offers from ISU, C. Michigan, Charlotte, Colorado, Duke, FIU, Ga. Southern, Idaho, Indiana, N. Carolina, Wake Forest and W. Virginia.https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/maple/182846


Just so they can say we've recruited more SPEED on defense.

Jarell white looks like a beast. Are we recruiting him as a RB or a river SS because he looks like he can play both at a really high level.

Looks like we are getting in early on a TE Logan christopherson. He is really highly rated on 247 Maryland is the only other p5 offer he has so far but a composite rating of 88.

 

[CyFy]

It will be interesting to see how many of the guys we have already offered we end up getting. Most seem to be either unrated or have offers from all the big boys like OSU, Michigan, etc.

I know everyone talked about them saying they are behind on the 2017 class already as them just working hard...it can kind of be true. They already had a lot of relationships with the current class when at Toledo. I wonder how many they already have good relationships with for the 2017 class

Not sure where we are wanting White to play, but I hear he plans on visiting during the season.

I say let him play where ever he wants...Great looking athlete

We need Boyd, Munford, Deaton, the DT and any LB on that list plus a couple.

Depth at OL is a must and those three all have the size and the offer lists to show they must have some talent worthy of interest.

We lose a lot at LB after 2016. Bringing in more depth and better talent is also a must here.

DT...Losing Tucker is going to be a hit, but if CMC can continue to add depth up front they will find gems in there.

I know the iowa guys don't have the size that the others do but they both look really good. Newell will end up getting a bunch of offers if he can gain another 25 lbs. His technique is really good. Dystra looks like he has a mean streak. I think both would be contributers after 2-3 years in the program. The other O line guys might be an earlier impact.

A couple of those LBs look like they could be good. Will be interesting to see how much muscle they can put on before their senior years. A couple a pretty small

Jerrell White was being recruited by Golesh when he was at Illinois and apparently we are in pretty good standing with the kid.

To answer a question in the OP, yes Deshaunte Jones is related to Keontae Jones. Keontae is his younger brother. Would think that gives us a bit of an inside path if we want him.

Coach Campbell and staff were recruiting Keontae to Toledo so they are very familiar with him and vice versa. Keontae and his brother are very close so I think there is a good chance Keontae will end up at ISU. Here's a nice story on the Jones bros... http://www.cincinnati.com/story/rec...o-deshaunte-jones-and-keontae-jones/76347594/
