2022 Safety D’Angelo Hutchinson Commits!
- Thread starter cyclone4L
- Start date
I remember him! Thought we were cool on him after previous high interest.
Saw he doesn’t have a recruit rank yet but is projected around a .85 I think.

I can't help but feel that a guy like this is a diamond in the rough. Looking at the 2017 and 2018 classes, there's plenty of dudes who were severely underrated as recruits. I trust Campbell and staff more than 247/Rivals/etc.
I feel like the staff goes through a sequence somewhat like this:
- Does he possess the natural level of talent to play at this level?
- Is he passionate about the game of football?
- Does he have a great motor?
- Does he have great character and leadership ability?
Have to love the 6'2" size and athletic profile on his tape.
Between TJ Tampa, Craig McDonald, Beau Freyler, Myles Purchase, Mason Chambers, Malik Verdon, Jordyn Morgan, Noble Thomas, Jeremiah Cooper and the next Hutch.. Most D backs are over 6'0 or close. Those that aren't are really hard hitters too like Cooper or athletic studs like Purchase (5'11")
Once Speedy has graduated.. Our Rhoads era 5'8" corner mismatches are gone

Agree. The number of recruits that have not panned out while Campbell has been here is tiny compared to previous coaching staffs. Their track record is phenomenal.
Its almost like it is better to recruit based on what the kid can be as a junior or senior in college (by looking at him as a person) rather than what he is as a junior or senior in high school (by looking at him as a player). Who knew?!
The college player will be playing for you - the high school player won't be.
It would be interesting to see actual numbers - not that I doubt this is true.
The last Cyclone recruit, rated this low (actually lower), was 2 star running back, Deon Silas. The guy that just scored his first Iowa State touchdown in his third game (as a true freshman) !

Never forget Jeremy Reeves - a high-level P5 cornerback in every single way but his height, which was listed at a charitable 5'7".
Huh?
Silas was a mid 3 star with offers from TCU, Virginia, & West Virginia.
Your point still stands.
Someone mentioned Jeremy Reeves and I can't find the video of his on-side kickoff return for a touchdown against Texas Tech. I am sad. Here is a highlight video of that game that appears to be filmed with a potato.
It is at about the 2:35 mark.
like how he looks and agree, I have a very high trust level in terms of the staff and finding and then developing players

Rivals had him as a 2 Star. There is still a small percentage of ppl that still refer to Rivals over 247.
To be fair the 300 yards of rushing complete with 5 rushing TDs and the two special teams TDs had as much to do with that beatdown as anything the d-backs gave up on the back end.Baylor 71-7 Iowa State (Oct 19, 2013) Final Score - ESPN

agree with posters above. I love that we’re going after big, rangy athletic types in the secondary now rather than the short, stocky, overachiever types. (Love Reeves and Peavy, but you can’t put guys like that on a 6’5 Baylor WR)
