Iowa Lands Illinois RB Ivory Kelly-Martin

Great news!! Rob, do you think that the staff knows where Eno is going so they told the RB's left on board that there is only 1 RB scholarship left?
 
Looks like a good one. His running style reminds me of Canzeri. The TD at the 6:20 mark was impressive.

Good question. I don't think it would be the case where the coaches reached out to the RBs it's offered to let them know about Eno. I do think they make prospects aware of the number of players they plan to take at a given position. And most of these kids are smart enough to ask for updates and to keep an eye on things.

In Kelly-Martin's case, I think he was blown away at junior day. He wanted to be a Hawkeye.

Also, I think there's a chance we take 3 RBs this cycle. A chance. Clair and Rowell are guys who could be RBs but also DBs. Not feeling great about chances with Rowell after speaking with him after junior day. Said Iowa City was small for him. Iowa is by far Clair's best offer and he's visited multiple times. He appears to be waiting for something he likes more.

I have a feeling Clare won't have a chair left for him at the table. I think the coaches already know if Eno is in the fold or not, and I doubt very much Ivory's commitment was a coincidence.
 
Are you saying the coaches told Kelly-Martin he better commit because there's only one RB scholarship left?

I think some things like that don't really have to be said out loud. The coaches probably told them how many RBs they plan on taking and that number is either 2 or 3 and these two guys both know about each other and it is what it is.. I highly doubt Iowa's coaches gave him any kind of ultimatum/deadline at this point? No I don't I think everyone just knows the dots and connected them and are making their decisions accordingly.

Which is what I wrote in my previous post. :)
 
I really like what Ive seen on IKM, plus I really like kids like IKM who really wants to be a Hawkeye. It will be awesome if we can add Eno to this RB class too.
