In post #228 someone said that TOS removed his name from the visit list and he isn't listed for the weekend.

Kasky committed to Missouri so he did't visit either. The safety from Mass. committed to Indiana and didn't visit. That might explain Harris a safety visiting.

I will gladly take Carl Davis 2.0.
Absolutely, at least the upperclassman version. Just pointing out he's another young man who had some growing up to do and it took the staff a couple of years to get him to realize. Kind of similar to the George Kittle story.

Yebit didn't visit this weekend due to travel issues. I wonder if the staff could get another visit scheduled with him later because it seemed as though they were making serious noise in his recruitment

I have followed recruiting for over 40 years, if I had a dollar for every recruit that had travel issues as an excuse, I'd be able to take a few more fishing trips. Could be weather related, you never know, hope he does reschedule.

I don't think Mcdermott's commitment to Indy has much sway. The hawks stand a pretty solid chance with Johnson. If the hawks can pull in Johnson and Kuhn that's a great finish to the solid OL class. Britt the WR out of Memphis commits on the 11th, I'm assuming he is Mizzou bound.

Does Kuhn have a decision timeline announced? That guy looks like he'd absolutely wreck people on the interior OL.

Please get him on board.

We also really, really need some skill position recruits in this class.

He has his final visit set up at Debby this weekend, sounds like he is planning to commit following his official visits.

If he cares about development or a pro career Iowa is the obvious choice.

Squeezebox is the #1 caller on Don Patterson and Cory Bradas show.

Something very wrong with recruiting the RB position. We have a Joe Moore award level O line yet can't get any RB to commit? I'd think 4 stars would be lined up to play RB behind Iowa's elite O line. What is the problem?
Kenyon Norman is committing today and Iowa's in his top 3. I personally think he'd be stupid to not commit to Iowa but I do think we will land him or keyon thomas

I don’t think our sales pitch is super appealing to most recruits.

For some reason IOWA desires to be different and really, REALLY leans into the “You’re gonna have to do your time and earn it” pitch.

This has long been a problem. It’s where Wisconsin was beating Iowa at their own game for over a decade. They kept land on their highly sought after RBs and we kept missing or the ones we did land ended up in trouble (Coker, Wegher).
