Quran Hafiz commits to the Cyclones

[TXCyclones]

#29 class in the country according to 247

I hate to be "that guy", but it hasn't been updated yet as it doesn't show any of UT's pickups from Baylor. I'd be happy with a solid 4th place in the B12 recruiting class though.

Edit: I'm wrong. Going through the list it's even been updated to show Quran's commitment today. I guess the Baylor recruits moving to UT are for the '16 season?

Weren't UT's pickups for 2016? It's updated with Hafiz, so don't know why others wouldn't be.

I've read on a couple of different message boards that he might be an early enrollee (January 2017, I assume).

UT's pickups from Baylor can be found in the 2016 class. 247 updates twice every day so it is a really good source. Of course Iowa State will drop a little as Texas, TCU etc fill up their classes but a Top 40 national class and Top 5 Big 12 class would be unprecedented.

9 kids at 84.00 or higher and Morgan sitting at 83.97. As I wrote a couple days ago that is alot of good Big 12 talent. The previous best was 7 kids at 84 rating or higher and that was 2016. Most of the years back to 2006 it varied from 3-6.

#3 in the Big 12! (OU, OSU)

This staff is crazy. Get a guy on campus and they get the commitment.

Like I've said: "If you build it, they will come", and commit. Fantastic job by this staff, welcome to Cyclone nation Quran!

 

[DSMCy]

If that was truly the case, we would have 20 more commitments. It does help though.

Too tall.

 

[HitItHard58]

Read a lot of hype about him here and saw his offers so I thought he must be real deal but when I watched his tape I thought he looked good but didn't really blow me away. Then I realized that the guys I'm indifferent about are typically the guys who wind up being studs. Felt the same way about Jake Knott and Mike Warren so you can count on Quran tearing it up for us!

Too tall.

Seems like LJ at 5'10" was a giant compared to our other dbs.

Seriously. WTF is going on right now?

Nice work. We could get used to this.

Yes, Precious, we can Precious...

Seriously. WTF is going on right now?

I am amateur, but it sure seems to me like we've got some pretty serious players in these last two classes. It's not likely many of them will have much of an immediate impact, but a couple years down the road...

Let's just hope we can keep that talent from walking out the door...

Today's Iowa State cornerback commit, Quran Hafiz, tells me he plans to graduate in December and enroll early at Iowa State.

Here is the highlight video I watched. Looks like a stud. The still shot at the beginning of the video is cool. Can you say Alpha Dog.

Competence and effort in recruiting. It's refreshing....

I bet Virginia Tech is asking the same thing. That is at least twice now that CMC has beat them for a recruit.

 

[Cyclone27inQC]

Awesome news. Welcome to the Nation.

This isnt a 'bash on rhoads' thing, but how many commitments did we have on 7\1 last year? Wasnt it like... 1?

Crazy how much of a change this year is. Glad we went the head coach route in hiring.
