He is the #1 recruit in the country (by some services). He was asked to make the announcement on Tom Lemmings ESPN show. Give the kid his due. He has worked hard and has earned the right to be in the spotlight on this. I have read nothing indicating that he is anything but a great football player and will be great for whatever team he ends up with. If you want to go after ESPN for making recruiting such a big deal, so be it, but that is not the players fault. Of course, criticizing ESPN may be a little hypocritical when done by men who check an Internet forum 20 times a day for recruiting news.
IF this announcing in NY is his dad's gig, then so be it. If seantral pushed for this and wanted this to happen, then IMO we don't want him. If he wants the spotlight right out of the chute, then he won't fit in the Ferentz scheme of things. If this deal is all about his dad, then get him down here and show him what TEAM is all about. Hard to read this. I think an 18 yr old kid being put on parade just so tom lemming and a handful of people can make money off of it is rediculous. You want the spotlight, earn it. Just my Opinion. He seemed like a down to earth and heady kid in his Army game interviews, so we'll see.

He's a silent commit. He's well aware of the recent announcement from Bulaga, KF's OL expertise, and his ability to play right away. He's coming to Iowa!
