Recruiting Roundup - Late Signing Period

LB/DE from Waukee walking on

Morrison is an overlooked talent who could make an impact as a rush DE or a MLB. Could even be a FB or TE. Blows people up and a steal to get as a walk on.

^ All your walk-on linebackers are belong to us!

Damn, how many walk-ons is a team allowed to have? Not saying it's a bad thing, just curious.

Gonna use the UI's hospital and medical expertise to surgically combine all of them to make one super LB

 

[Kennyfromminne]

Why so many walk ons this year? I guess to me it seems like a lot

 

[RobHowe]

You can bring 105 to training camp. Once school starts, that expands.

Warren Thompson recently committed to FSU.

Rob - is the new scholly offer to the walk-on LB a result of Boyle leaving and freeing up an extra scholly? Or in your expert opinion, are we missing on the FL and GA recruits?

 

[RobHowe]

Klemp has been on Iowa's board for awhile. He's visited multiple times. He wasn't going to walk on with the Hawkeyes. He would have gone to NDSU, USD or UNI had Iowa not offered.

The Hawkeyes still would take McDonald and/or Miller.

 

[ohhawk]

Reported on the FSU side that there may be some question on Miller's ability to qualify academically. Would think McDonald is our better opportunity. Oftentimes it seems a late offer (Klemp) means we have missed on someone so hopefully McDonald is still in play for us.

Wiltfong / 247 gives Iowa his prediction vote for McDonald this afternoon.

Awesome news. Now who do we go after now? We have at least 1 more spot, correct?

 

[99topdawg]

Awesome! Not that I necessarily have a problem with fallbacks late, but this certainly is not a fallback.

Can we shake loose a WR grad transfer or something? How great would that be?

Well the last one didn't work out that great.

I’m not greedy...I’d settle for a grad transfer punter!

Yes sir Punt game needs massive improvement. Lord knows how much we rely on it.

As lame as that would be our coaches would be crazy to not consider one.... If only there was one

I recall the days of Reggie Roby. I used to watch him during the summer at Waterloo West. He would have about 30 footballs on the 10yardline, then he would go to the other 10. These punts had unreal hang time, and the distance was amazing.

I'm old enough to remember him in the pros but not his time at Iowa or HS. He was as good as it gets no doubt

Yeah. The problem was he was also used for placekicking. His punts were things of beauty - very high and very, very deep (often outkicking his coverage). His placekicking was an adventure every time.
