****Official Class of 2022 Recruiting Thread****

That’s an old cb.

But he hasn't changed it. Of course maybe its neither ISU or Vandy and its Cal because of the pacific time reference which does seem odd.

 

[Halincandenza]

I suspect Iowa State just because Cyclonefanatic put up an article stating he was going to announce today. They don't normally do that if they are not semi sure he is a clone. That's just my guess

Good point.

 

[ForeverIowan]

Vanderbilt.
I might be wrong but I just have a feeling it is not ISU with how ISU has been going hard after some other prospects and with Jerry Meyer predicting him to Vanderbilt with a high confidence.

Michael Swain and Evan Flood put in crystal balls for Iowa State yesterday. Swain increased his confidence level this morning.

Vandy didn't even acknowledge him the last time they were at the same event he was at.

 

[Jayshellberg]

I heard it’s Vanderbilt do to the assistant coach from Minnesota

Safe to assume we are out of the running for Rylan Griffin if Watson picks Iowa State?

If Watson commits to ISU today, my guess is the staff will put the full court press on Griffin. That would result in a top 25 class.

He’s class of 2023

 

[ForeverIowan]

New crystal ball right now from Travis Branham from 247 for Iowa State

 

[Halincandenza]

Well, in that case. I guess it is ISU! Lol

 

[tomar1]

He’s committed to the Cyclones!!!

Good commitment. Looks like we are building a good team for the future.

 

[CyberJJJ]

Do they take another high school recruit (ex. Griffin, Green, Black) or do they back off and hold now waiting to see needs?

At UNLV TJ was trying to recruit freshman to build a program. My guess is he will go all in on a high school kid and if that fails. We go the other route

You make room for top 70 talents.

i think ISU will add eventually one more player but is in no rush and not till next year. I feel all 3 of the HS players mentioned aren’t close to announcing from my read and possibly 1-2 could hold off until the Spring. The staff will keep in contact after all they have already laid the groundwork and it is only 3 players.

The roster is pretty set so the staff can be patient and see what the roster looks like late and fill that spot late as they choose.

I don’t think it is a coincidence the 1st 2023 offers were announced to Hines an hour after the Watson commitment. The focus has changed to a big get next year.

I hope Griffen commits to us soon!

Is it bad that I find myself absurdly pleased that we landed Watson instead of Karaban?

Agreed. There are some great videos of him on Twitter that are not on YouTube. Love his length and athleticism!
