Official 2014 Recruiting thread

Dont know if you guys say but Matt Nelson just put out his top three and I know you had an offer out. He has Iowa, Stanford, and ND and says he will decide this summer.
See, I was kind of curious about that, because he doesn't seem to be nearly as fast or athletic as your Fiedorowicz, and the one article I saw said he didn't seem to have the shoulders or frame to grow into a tackle. So, I'd guess that the reason to offer him would be those grades...and the hope that he matures into some kind of usable player.

Not complaining about that, I would have been happy to have him be a Cyclone. Who knows how he develops. Best wishes to him.
 
I may be wrong here, but it seems like Stanford and ND have been recruiting the state of Iowa a lot the last few years. It seems like every decent prospect has offers or interest from those two schools.

I've read a lot saying Defensive end for him.
 
ISU is top two for Fla. WR - CycloneReport.com - May 30, 2013

I matched up the article and profile pictures to Roderick Proctor.

I was at the Gainesville vs Dr. Phillips spring game last Friday night. In a game filled with D1 prospects, including at least 3 with ISU offers (Kenric Young and Matt Solt from Gainesville and Proctor from DP), Proctor may have been the best athlete on the field. He would be a HUGE get for the Cyclones.

BTW - I also saw Coach Messingham at the game. He has been working the Orlando area hard.

And it looks like another:



Deionte Gaines - Dr. Phillips HS

This kid is small, but he is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the 2014 class in Florida. He is a fantastic return man, can play RB or in the slot. I pasted his film below. Spoiler alert - you will have to watch more than 3 minutes of film to see him ever get tackled...

So, just how big is he really--5'8, or 5'10"?

I was going to make a "wish list," but with all these new offers that would be very difficult. I definitely want the 2 Wisconsin TEs and Jackson Morrison, Jeff Jones, Nile Sykes..... 2 WRs and 2 more DBs. We have so many good offers at those 2 positions, it's hard to pick who I want. One of the WRs should be a good return man
