2027 recruiting
- Thread starter squeezebox_1
- Start date
We're probably set for the next five years anyway, if Hecklinski starts for three years and Bessinger starts his junior and senior year.
This. And also as a former Oregon OC the offensive minded reputation is probably a strong draw for a QB.
That said, I’ve only driven through Lexington and around the athletic facilities and thought they felt run down. Of course I’m bias toward Iowa city! But the coeds, money, and offensive minded head coach were probably hard to pass up.
UK OC Joe Sloan was Jayden Dianels QB coach his last 2 years in CFB. Daniels improvement as a passer under Sloan was unbelievable. Threw for 317 yards per game his last season after throwing for 208 the year before. I do have questions about Sloan as an OC (but he does have Stein who has been a great OC) but what Sloan did with Daniels was impressive. I watched Daniels for 5 years in CFB. Below are Daniels CFB stats yr by yr.

Out of this group I think our best chance for a commit is Kuhn. Former Wrestler, guy would be perfect at Iowa.
Legacy recruiting isn't the factor it once was, our top recruit last year was Jones ( a Debby legacy). Nawrot decided Kentucky was right for him.
Basically all recruiting is a price tag now. the old factors such as legacy matter a lot less.
No date set, but Daniel Yebit a 4* CB out of Oklahoma is working on setting up a visit.
It’d be interesting to see a Decision Analysis matrix today for most recruits. If I had to guess a weighted analysis looks like the following.
50% Compensation
25% Staff/NFL prep
10% locality
10% Depth chart/playing time
5% Academics
That looks like a pretty good breakdown. Of course there will always be prospects who weigh one more than the others. Some will go to whoever offers the most money. Others will go to a school with an academic reputation for alumni who earn big money many years after football.
If we landed him, I would say the 2029 hawkeye defense would be as star studded as any we have ever had.
He would be a great addition to UI football, but do you have a reputable source for him verballing to Iowa?
Um, this is from his visit. So no, I don't have a source for him committing to Iowa...
Good news on another 4* visiting this weekend. Turning out to be a fairly important weekend for the hawks.
The first weekend in June when the Hawks bring in the large group of official visitors is huge. Committed players and key targets. Post #206 has the list of uncommitted visitors. Add in Yebit also. Hoping for a few commits after this weeked.
Three big OL recruits (two 4-stars) and DB Flemister. We could get some good news soon.
That's great, but as the poster was wondering, is Yebit's visit canceled? Any word?
Should have posted commit list. There is a pay article that Iowa was one of several schools on a commit list. Must be a player close to committing
I think it's Darryl Flemister or maybe Caleb Johnson that is close to committing.
