I was going to post a thread to talk about the Iowa commits. I have been fairly high on this class since they started signing them. I think with all the changes (and improvements) we have seen to date, that I'm thinking we absolutely have a stud class coming in. I think they have focused on recruiting and they are targeting and getting either their 1st or 2nd choices on all of these kids.
Lets look at some individual ones.
Toren Young, as posted above absolutely killed it this season. One of the first kids signed, and is only a "2*" kid. No way that ranking isn't adjusted, but he was one of the staffs top targets and they got him.
Amani Hooker, some stats were posted above as well. He is killing it and will probably be the POY in Minnesota. He stepped in at QB when the starter was injured and had several games with 300 yds + passing. He has like 9 or 10 interceptions in 8 or 9 games.
TJ Hockenson is rewriting Iowa high school record books. I think he has like 76 catches and over 1000 yards this season so far. Another 2* kid who also avg. 20+ PPG on the BB court. Just a stud athlete.
Akinribade and Wade both ran well for their teams, each had nearly 1500 yds rushing.
Rugamba is playing at a high level for his HS team on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
Lattimore earned a 4th* from Scout already.
Kyle Taylor was sought after by many schools, and has been playing well.
I think this class is going to be a good one. Since they got a lot of hay in the barn early they have gotten a great jump on the '17 class as well. I think that if Iowa continues to do well this year, the '17 class could be a monster class for the Hawks.
