As I posted on the recruiting board, the signs are strongly pointing to the Hawks here.

Not much inside intel on this one. I would be wary of Penn State, a school he visited that likes to tell kids it's running out of room for them as a form of pressure. It also would be out of the ordinary for Iowa to take a kid it hasn't had on campus. But, these are different times.

Good pickup. Seems like we’ve had a little lull in DB recruiting recently, which is a little surprising. This kid had a lot of P5 offers.
Also his teammate Ricky Parks is Iowa’s top RB target and Iowa is sitting pretty well with him.
This class is in really good shape and we sit well with a few other guys on the top of our board. If we get Fidone it will be icing on the cake, but our TE room is already in great shape. Recruiting has been very good in recent cycles. Pretty exciting.

Hey could you give me the power ball numbers that you think don’t have a chance in hell of being chosen? I kid, I kid.

It was a fair point by Stanzi as typically the Iowa staff wouldn’t take commits from players that hadn’t visited.Hey could you give me the power ball numbers that you think don’t have a chance in hell of being chosen? I kid, I kid.
In the world of Covid-19 they may have relaxed that a little bit. Hopefully he will visit in late June as planned and we will get a commit out of his teammate Ricky Parks as well.
He and Parks want to play together in college too...

I believe he has visited, but it was quite awhile ago, perhaps last summer.

Getting Oladokun and Parks would be sweet. Two talented players and gives us more connections to Florida.

Interesting. Matt Bain is reporting that he unofficially visited in June. Perhaps he got some inaccurate info or it was a misprint.

This recruiting class is really starting to shape up despite the virus.
There's been a lot of buzz about Parks mentioned above, as well as Max Llewellyn (could very well be our next verbal), and offensive linemen Joe Alt (hard to see him going anywhere else), Michael Myslinski and Beau Stephens. I don't know how many offensive linemen we'll take in this class, but we are in tight with several really good prospects.
As far as RBs, I saw tape of a kid out of Chicago whom I think we are recruiting, Mar'Keise Irving. Wow. He's lightening in a bottle. No idea where we stand with him, though, but he's really impressive on the field.
On a down note, it looks like Fidone has become a strong Nebraska lean.

Ugh. Not only is Nebraska not any good but they don't throw to the TE. At least we have a couple of very promising guys from the past class in Yelverton and Lachey.
Llewellyn would be a great pickup in place of Fidone.

Maybe the lines got crossed between Matt and Jordan. Matt’s a good reporter.
I just checked again with Jordan. He confirmed that he has not visited Iowa. He has an official visit scheduled for this June. Maybe that’s where the mixup happened.
