Football Targets

[isu81]

Can I get a better understanding on why everyone thinks that Kam is flipping? I know Cam Akers and Kam were trying to work the package deal to Ole Miss.... But that school is on the edge of sanctions. I honestly think the FSU, OSU lean is going to be what Cam Akers comes down to. Which leaves Kam White committed to and signing with us....

There have been interviews with him where he appears to be more in "decision" mode than "confirming commitment" mode. That and several 247 predictors have flipped their prediction to Ole Miss in recent weeks since he made a visit to Ole Miss. I would add that, while it appears to be between the two of us now, other teams in that area could certainly come calling if some of their priorities fall to other teams. He lists several other offers in the SEC. Not sure if those are legitimate/committable or not, but he's certainly the riskiest of our current commits.

Watkins to Ill., next up Cyrus Habibi-Likio.

Kody Cumberlander picked up an MSU offer 12/18 and they are now listed as warmer.

Evan Fields no longer has OSU as warmer, not even warm. Oregon and ND replace Houston and Memphis in the warm category to go with ASU and KSU as his final 4. ISU out so I removed.

We're not really in contention with Habibi-Likio are we?

No.

I only put him on there cuz Halsted mentioned him in his podcast and he is committing soon, but very unlikely.

So is the silent commit one on the list? I still have to think it is a big name or why make it so secretive.

 

[BuffettClone]

I wonder if it will ever be confirmed who the silent commit actually is. It might be obvious if there is only one surprise on signing day, but if there are a couple surprise signings, will the staff confirm who has actually been committed for a couple months by then?

 

[buf87]

Maybe it was Hafiz and he was announcing on his signing day!

 

[BuffettClone]

That would be a huge letdown!

 

[Stewo]

Indications are that Hafiz wasn't the silent commit. Plus, let's be honest. His ego is too big to give his commitment that far in advance.

This is the first time I've been in here. This is awesome, OP. Thanks for all the info and the links! The links make life much easier.

I think next up would have to be Connor Robbins. I would take Chandler and Munford before him. But all 3 would be great!

I am just going off what people are saying and the fact that he is a really good player. It is always a fight to keep the best players. Kam is the kind of guy that the top schools go after when they miss on their first choice. Probably just a combo of all of those things.

Also I just think Onyemaobi is that good

Don't think Robbins is a take right now. Top 3 OL targets are 1) Chandler 2) Munford 3) Bolton. I feel like if we miss on 2 of those guys, then Robbins may be a take if still on the board.

I've heard that Robbins is also behind Robert Hudson on the coaches board.

We've got 5 HS Linemen that they appear to be after in the order of 1A. Chandler 1B. Munford 2. Bolton 3. Hudson 4. Robbins

Thought Hudson was a DT?

Matt Leo was the silent commit. He had known he was coming to ISU several months before making it official.

In his YouTube combine workout video there's a comment from someone he must know saying best of luck in Iowa or something along those lines. The comment was left >5 months ago.

Certainly possible, but seems unlikely to me. This silent commit wanted to have it kept quite so he could announce on signing day. Leo didn't make an announcement, the way people first found out about his commitment is someone Tweeted a picture of him signing.

Makes sense. I hope you're right
