Tracking 2012 Class Offers

Why would you commit early to Ohio State with EVERYTHING going on over there?

 

[fufred]

Ohio WR Corey Smith to Tennessee

Why would you commit early to Ohio State with EVERYTHING going on over there?

Same reason top recruits have still committed to USC and Notre Dame through all their mediocre records or drama... because of the name.

I wouldn't throw ND in that pile. The reason people still commit to OSU and USC is that they are semi-pro programs. Boise has jumped into that arena as well. These schools can get caught and punished to some extent, but it is hard to turn off all the revenue streams.

Really, what is the big deal with missing the post season, when you can still get paid?

Please explain this "arena" boise state has jumped into?

Standifer (DB), Brown (RB), and Diggs (WR) added.

 

[fufred]

CB Terry Richardson committed to Michigan. Michigan's defensive class isn't spectacular but its real solid.

Hey fufred, have you heard anything on that DE from Mentor who just got an Iowa offer? I think his name was Tom Strobel.

 

[tgraham907]

Or Ifeadi Odenigbo?

 

[fufred]

Odenigbo and Stroebel are thought to both be OSU leans. Odenigbo may look at ND, NW and Stanford as well as he is an exceptional student. Some people think Strobel is odds on to be the next OSU commit but with the uncertainty at OSU he may hold off.

Hey Homer or Fufred,
What do you think our chances are with Boehm out of Missouri? He would be a great addition!

Folks on some of the other sites seem to be indicating that OU is more the team to beat for Boehm. Sorry.

 

[homerHAWKeye777]

Lots 'O updates made.

 

[lightning1]

Strobel commited to MICH.

 

[hawkfarmer]

Michigan is getting a strong defensive class. A lot of guys Iowa was interested in.

 

[hawkfarmer]

Boehem (OL) and Scherer (LB) to Missouri Darlington (OL) to Oklahoma

Those 2 were center options and the top at their position. I was really hoping one of them was Iowa bound

 

[hawkfarmer]

Andre McDonald (WR) has reopened his recruitment. DE- Moore committed to Virginia

Also, not on the offer list, but Wes Lunt committed to Ok State.

 

[homerHAWKeye777]

Wilson, a WR, and Ott, a DE, are now both on board. Both are "big need" areas for the Hawks too! Great news!

 

[ohhawk]

4 star RB, Greg Garmon, out of Erie PA, says Iowa is in his final 5 and will be visiting sometime this summer.

 

[Mick]

Iowa has offered another instate rb:
