I suspect he will go to Ohio State.


And....do the Badgers get around to offering Iowa commit Toren Young?

if they do hopefully the kid sticks with the team that saw his potential and believed in him first

DIFFERENT KID

John is always so positive regarding the Hawkeyes. He had us losing to Northwestern last weekend as well. Why would a running back with any sense not go to a programs that consistently has an OL that dominates.The last two weeks we have two 200 yard rushers. I think we will be fine.

3 words: Go Iowa...

Just from reading his initial comments about committing to the Hawks and being asked about possibly getting a Wiscy offer, I'm guessing he stays committed to the Hawks. He talked like he knows he'd be a fall back recruit and would love to stick it to his hometown school who didn't initially offer him. He was tweeting all about the Hawks over the weekend. Just my feeling I get from his comments and obvious excitement about the Hawkeye program. I think he's all Hawkeye regardless

Here's a quote from Young back in January....

"Nobody has to worry about me flipping to Wisconsin," Toren Young told HawkeyeInsider.com after committing Sunday to the Hawkeyes. "I committed to Iowa. As long as the coaching staff is the same and I still have that strong relationship, I'm here to stay."

They'll be coming at Toren Young big time. Stay strong kid.

 

[Hawkfnntn]

Good thing is we have 2 other rbs already for the class. Losing him wouldn't be a big deal so much as him going to Wisky instead would be. Keeping him away from them would be the cats meow on a couple levels

Harty and Howe interviewed him on their All Hawkeyes show. He said he was solid Iowa 100%. He even said he doesn't even hear from Da Vagers.

The interview was before that player decommitted from the Badgers. I believe he may have given some updates since then though.

Take it for what its worth, which may not be much, but on the ride home from the Iowa / Wisky game in Madison we were listening to the post game call in show and a close relative of Toren's coach called in and stated emphatically that Toren would not change his commitment from Iowa to Wisconsin. If he grew up a Badger fan and they call what does he do? Tough situation for a kid. Keep your commitment or play for what may have been his dream school when growing up.

Sounds like Ohio State and Wisconsin may trade commitments. Looks like Hill is ahead of Williams in the 247 sports rankings but they are close enough I don't think it will make a difference. Personally I like all three of running back recruits at this time.

Yup, as long as they stay away from Young. Wiscy immediately going after this kid may reflect that they don't like their chances in flipping Young or they just think Hill is a better prospect. Either way, it bodes well for Wiscy not going after Young. I'm also excited about Wade coming to Iowa as well. A lot of talent in this class.

 

[okieviaiowa]

excellent .... I like Young's comments about his level of commitment to the Hawks

 

[nationalchamps]

Toren told Wisky to suck it so they moved on.

Young has 316 yards and 4 tds at the half tonight.
