Cue hawkeye offer.

 

[Halincandenza]

Cool that he earned an offer.

Mike Tyson as a long jumper?? Guessing he scared off the competition before the jumps.

If Mike Tyson jumped jumped 5 foot, I would put down 25' 1" too.

Cue hawkeye offer.

Iowa has been all over him for a while.

Have they offered though? 247 says no.

Not publicly, no.

I would guess he will be camping there as well.

He will. Sama is interesting. He’s been behind Titus Christiansen his entire high school career so far. Got quite a bit of play play season because Christiansen was dinged up. Sama is an explosive athlete, but Christiansen has more straight line speed, at least so far, so Sama has somewhat flown under the radar.

That won’t last long.

I had heard a while ago the two schools calling/checking on him most have been Iowa and Wisconsin. While Iowa State has now offered, they might be a little behind, honestly.

Sama is an explosive athlete, but Christiansen has more straight line speed, at least until now, so Sama has somewhat flown under the radar.

That won’t last long.

Is he being recruited on offense or defense? Thought he was initially listed as a DB but saw Rivals lists him as a RB now.

I can assure you ISU is not behind

I’ll take your word for it.

I’m taking a wild guess cornerback/track.

I’ve been told we’re really slow playing him whereas k state, iowa, and Wisconsin are showing the most interest and setting up school visits. Nothing yet from ISU

In this instance, what does 'slow playing him' mean? We have other priorities at his position before we jump in, or what?

That was back in April, there wasn’t much contact then and there were other targets the staff was contacting more. Things had heated up since then and the coaches wanted to get him on campus. Once they did, he impressed at camp and the rest is history

Chris Davenport has state record at 24’9”

Nation HS record 26’10”

And by comparison, I could prolly make up that couple a feet, easy. Just sayin.
