Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
The same Jaziun Patterson that needed only 75 attempts to reach 1300 yards last year? In the highest class in Florida?
Cunningham didn’t have a committable Minnesota offer, Smith didn’t have a committable Kentucky offer.
We need to get some kind of welcome gift for these new fellas.
Yes. That Patterson. I would love to hear your explanation of how you know that last sentence. Please enlighten us. Did a lot of things change the week after Kentucky offered Smith before he committed to ISU? Lol
I will say that a lot of Patterson's offers didn't seem to be committable at the time he committed to Iowa. Off the top of my head, I would have said the same for Scates that went to ISU as a highly rated recruit a few years ago. A lot of teams backed off of Scates because of grade issues and a lot of teams backed off of Patterson because he seemed to lose his explosiveness when he gained weight during the COVID year.
Last year seemed like Patterson was more focused on football and gained his explosiveness back. Guess we will see how he pans out.
Iowa just lost a 2022 signee in Olando Trader. Seems like a decent loss. 6'1" 185# CB that runs a sub 11 second 100 meter. I wonder if he ends up at Michigan or Michigan State?

You also never know someone's family situation. Maybe it is something where he wants to stay close to home. Best of luck to the kid.
This. P6 is used in basketball to give credit to the old Big East schools that don't have a football program, or at least an FBS program. Villanova and UCONN are the only schools in the Big East that actually have football, I believe, but St Johns, Seton Hall, Georgetown, DePaul, Providence, and maybe Marquette were all basketball members of the old Big East, which was a pretty dominant basketball conference in its day. Creighton, Butler, and Xavier are former mid majors that elevated their status to join the new Big East once its public universities/schools with football programs moved on.
I'll just add that I have not and would not use P6 ever, in football.

I completely agree. We are only about a third in and Iowa is just under half. I just wanted to give kind of a status report leading in to the meat of the recruiting season.
The guy had a Vandy offer, I sincerely doubt it was an eligibility issue.
Seems like a decent prospect but they signed 5 db prospects last cycle. Hall, Nwankpa and Etringer all are seemingly more highly regarded.Iowa just lost a 2022 signee in Olando Trader.

It will be interesting to see where he lands though.
