ATH Matt Nelson to announce Thursday

Yes, that was a good article. If he's worried about being stuck behind a five star DE for four years, he certainly doesn't need to worry about Iowa. That said, I'm not sure Stanford is overly talented at that position either. If he's not afraid of being far away, he should go to Stanford.
 
Thanks for linking article, man I like this kids attitude and hope he picks the Hawks....


i like this kid already given his educational aspirations AND the fact that he isn't going to have any big announcement, just a phone call. 'nothing fancy'. I think he picks Iowa - he already is a great fit just by the previous sentence.
 
Doyle-izing kids should be banned by the Big Ten because it is an unfair advantage for Iowa.

Meh, only if Doyle is allowed to bring back the squat routine that is now frowned upon by the University.

Hawks havent had very good teams since that old bag Sally Mason told them they couldnt do that workout anymore.
 
Kid looks to be a great fit for Iowa or Stanford. I hope we can get him, but I would certainly understand him picking Stanford.

I haven't read the whole thread, but if this kid is actually concerned about academics and has a Stanford offer, our odds of landing him are about 1 in 1000.

6/22 - DE Matt Nelson completes visit to Stanford
6/23 - Stanford offers DE Harrison Phillips
6/26 - DE/LB Jonathan Bonner receives offer from ND
6/26 - DE/LB Jonathan Bonner commits to ND

Maybe they know where Nelson is going? My money says Iowa.

I'm getting torches and pitchforks ready just in case you get my hopes up and wind up being wrong...but hey, let's not worry about that "right now"...

between this and the 'not fancy' comments, my money is on iowa.
 
Many (including Marc Morehouse) are saying that 10 AM is the rumored time for the Nelson announcement. As of 10:30 PM, 247Sports' "Crystal Ball" is now predicting Nelson will pick Iowa. 6 of 10 reporters are guessing Iowa. The other 4 are guessing Stanford, so it's effectively a toss-up in their eyes at this point.

Here's a radio interview with Matt Nelson from earlier this week. It focuses on Stanford, but he also talks about other stuff.

We really need Nelson today. It would be good to steal some of the thunder away from ISU and Mister committing to them last night.
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Its kind of scary how obsessed you are with ISU. Steal some thunder from them after they pulled the 23rd ranked player in the state of Illinois? Whoopy doo.
 
Is that Mister kid even that big of a recruit?

Looks like a standard athlete recruit to me..

Either way, this thread isn't about ISU or who they got commits from.

We could really use this one today.
