Hey, remember when we all had a good laugh about all the recruits that Rutgers invited to their game with Michigan?

You sound overly optimistic about the score.

I think Jack Plummer is Jake Plummer's kid. Good to see Warner's kid coming.

I searched that and could not confirm.
Can someone find a prospect (not already pledged to Iowa & in the class of '17) from this list outside of Martin and Nelson that has a single Power 5 offer?
I understand there may be some walk-on candidates but I suspect there are others that are potential scholarship candidates especially if Martin, Nelson, or others don't end up being Hawks. This is part of our talent problem.

Wikipedia says his first child was born in 2010, unless there's a son from another relationship not mentioned there.
This article from July of this year would seem to support that notion.

I think Martin and Nelson are the only two weekend non-committed visitors in the '17 class with an Iowa offer. There are some studs in the '18 class and Bell, the '19 WR, also is a high-end recruit.
We probably only have about 5-7 offers left to hand out in '17. I wrote about that when I published our newest Big Board on Monday.

Thanks for looking. I don't think it's Jake's son. Maybe they're related on some way. I'll try to find out.
Understand........just scratching my head about the talent level in '17 that remains that Iowa is looking at especially if they don't land Nelson or Martin. I assume these other '17 candidates are being invited to the game for a reason.

This is the time of year where Iowa ratchets up its focus on walk-ons. That's not to say none of these kids will receive offers. But I would say most are walk-on candidates.

Not if we win!! That'd probably add 5 yrs onto the extension.

Sorry, guys. Four hoops games (men and women) and very late night at Kinnick on Saturday. Just getting to recruiting stories from the weekend. Just posted one on Tyrone Tracy. Will continue throughout the week.
I'm not sure on Martin. Word on the street is that he's heading to Michigan but I've not heard any inkling of that from him or his dad. But, I doubt they'd tell me anyway. We'll just have to wait and see.
As far as the STL guys in '18 and beyond, I think we could benefit from Mizzou being down. The problem comes when you consider that most of those guys have a lot of great options outside the state.
