RECRUITING INSIDER: Gunnerson intel

[BWRhasnoAC]

Some people just can't get it in their heads that maybe, a kid doesn't want to go to college close to home? Some people want to leave Iowa.

We are talking Nebraska. Not even a good drive through state. Vast area of nothing. Populated with Cornholers.

And when it's all said and done he will be rated higher that Gavin who has the privilege of running behind the best o-line in Iowa 4A football...

SE Polk has the best OL in Iowa?

It’s still in ******* Nebraska. I’ve been to Lincoln it’s not nice.

Lincoln is a trailer park filled crap hole.

I hope I never have to go back for anything other than a homecoming game in the future.

That provokes a thought. VEISHEA just once every other year for the CY-Hawk game?

I was responding to your statement that said we don’t get the guys because they want to leave Iowa.

Do you think CMC offered them because he didn't want them? Just courtesy offers I guess? Jones and Gunnerson have better ratings than all but 2 of our recruits, so we could have used them. I think Miyan Williams is a great pickup but Gavin Williams still has a slightly higher rating and plays 30 miles from Ames. He also had a reported offer from us.

While Campbell has been great finding other options his actions suggest he understands the importance of being a top option in state. This year we haven't been. I wanted Gunnerson because it made sense, he is a great prospect whose best days are ahead of him, and it gets us a highly sought after local kid. There was no downside.

WIll it break the program? No, but I think it will need to change in the long term to keep building up what is going on in Ames. I have seen early success flatline and disappear as coaches get into the ISU HC job. Changing perspectives in your back yard makes recruiting easier and betters one of the biggest challenges at ISU. Getting the kids.

Good thing your livelihood has not been compromised. Now carry on.
