So how many 5-stars do we have so far?

As many as Iowa State and Minnesota.

WR/DB Trev Hadachek of Union (LaPorte City) will be choosing between Iowa and Iowa State at a 3:15 press conference. He currently has preferred walk-on opportunities from both schools. ISU lost the race on a couple of potential signees today, including a WR, so Hadachek might be in line for a late scholarship offer from the Cyclones.

Oh so THAT's what the GD offense is supposed to look like.

QB Shimonek is in.

Blair Sanderson ‏@BlairRIVALS #Iowa QB commit Nic Shimonek just sent a text confirming he signed with the #Hawkeyes this morning. #RivalsNSD

Hawks have any chance on this Veii guy? My guess would be better than Maryland but he could be Nebby bound.

Doubtful. I'm thinking it's Maryland.

Interesting Tweet:

Hawkeye Gamefilm ‏@hawkeyegamefilm
In '06 & '07 Iowa signed 13 2* recruits. 7 of them are now in the NFL rosters or on practice squads. That's a surreal hit % for 2* talent
​

 

[thejumper5]

All 20 have now sent in their LOIs with Anjeus Jones being last. Barring in late surprises, it looks like the only question mark now is Veii. I expect that Iowa will not land his signature.

Edit: Totally forgot Wadley. He is expected to sign this afternoon.

Watching the press conference for Jacquille Veii right now. Should find out soon where he's headed. Somewhat sure he won't be going to Iowa.

The dark side of the recruiting world:

A few days before making his official visit to TU on Jan. 25, Parker told the Tulsa World that he was "totally committed" to the Golden Hurricane and would not be making any other visits.

"I've been solid the whole time," said Parker, who announced his Tulsa commitment in September. "I didn't look at any other places."

That dude looks good. His QB is more accurate than JVB. Of course playing against Iowa HS teams makes one look spectacular. Put that kid in the Cy Fair or Northshore ISD down here in Houston and he may not look as good. Good hands and speed though.

Well Jacquille's Iowa hat matches his outfit today so maybe he is going to be a hawk?!
