EDIT: Greg Gaines Is A Cyclone!

[Thomasrickj]

Greg Gaines is still scheduled to commit on Saturday. It almost looks like it's down to Iowa State and Indiana with Iowa State being the favorite here. How does everyone else like our chances of landing this guy?

Indiana already has a 4 star receiver committed. Plus they have an athlete who is a 4 star that is committed. He is 6'5 so he could be a receiver too. So it might be more crowded at his position there, that might help our chances.

I like our chances. It seems like we have a great chance to get Gaines, Essex, and Adams. All three are awesome.

The 6’5 guy is a safety. Which is nuts to have a 6’5 safety

That is wild. Usually 6'-5" means linebacker or even lineman.

If you’re talking Dasan McCullough, he’s played about five positions in HS—including safety—but he’s expected to be a LB or edge rusher in college.

Yeah I saw that, if he can add some solid weight they’ll probably move him to the front 7. Either way tho, he shouldn’t really have any effect on Greg Gaines

I’m hoping Rocco has an effect on Greg Gaines.

Back when USC was relevant. They have a MONSTER safety who just destroyed people. Imagine a 6'4" 225# Isheem Young

One of my favorite players for any team ever.

Supposedly Gaines has told other recruits he's choosing ISU. But if he sticks with not committing until next weekend a lot could change. Fingers crossed.

Would be an immediate ejection in today’s game

I’m going to say…That’s just the way 17 year old kids are.

I’m not as knowledgeable about current NFL players across the league as I was a decade or two ago. But I decided a while back, looking at his highlights, that young Mr. Gaines reminds me a lot of Stephon Diggs, with his build, athleticism, agility, and ability to go up for the ball.
