Video/Anaysis: Hawkeyes’ Commits & Targets at The Opening Chicago

Rob, what is your take on Soko? Is he of the caliber of Ivory Kelly-Martin? They both made it to the finals at The Open, as you reported. Would Iowa take 3 rb's? When I saw highlights of Soko on youtube, he looked like the next Fred Russell.
 
I like what I saw Saturday, which was my first in-person look at him. I want to get a look at him in pads against live tackling, which I hope to do this fall. The film looks good.

He and Ivory are physically different. IKM looks like a prototypical B1G back. AS does not. But that doesn't mean he can't have success on that level. It will be interesting to see what he does at camps this summer.

Thank you, Rob. We really are upgrading at rb and I wouldn't mind having an embarrassment of riches at that spot. I am surprise that IKM is bigger than AS. I thought they were closer to the same size. And that could make a difference. But man...if we were to get Eno, IKM and AS and AS is the least talented? Wow!
 
My pleasure. Enjoy talking recruiting.

I think this class still can go in some different directions positionally and while it won't be as large as what we've brought in in the last few years, we could still end up around 20. WR is the biggest need.

I could see three RBs. The coaches said this spring that at least one of the incoming guys will play this fall which tells me that we need some depth. LeShun, Akrum and Mitchell all are upperclassmen.

Does this mean we will NOT see Eric Graham getting reps?
