I have watched 3-4 video's of East Ridge and C. Tomes. Note on 247 he is rated the 5th best player in the state, so keep that in mind.
Some of the time 6-3 184 JoJo Mitchell a St. Thomas signer was on him, but usually one of two other very small fast guards. Tomes was able to get past double...
If any of the "ends" were to move inside, one would think it would be Anthony Smith. Being 6-6 285, he probably only needs 10-15 lbs. Not sure he would want to though. As for the NFL, he is probably not an edge in a 3-4, so he would be a strong side left DE in a 4-3. If he can get close to...
Iowa is a well coached team, with one stud player, and a bunch of mid major talent. Stirtz is the only player averaging double figures. They just haven't beat anyone good. If they take down a talented #16 Illinois team at home on Sunday, I will be impressed. My wife is a Hawkeye so I have...
I wish we had some money to lure a professional to come here. I hate it's allowed, but since it is, it would be nice to get another guard or a true center.
While it sucks to lose Koi, we will also probably have 1-2 million extra in NIL to spend in other places. I will probably miss him more as a returner. He was solid this year, but the interceptions didn't come.
Whoops I forgot we are bringing in 4 star TE Voss. He easily should see the field as a true freshmen. He has the size already no need to wait to play him. I could see him as an H back and a short yardage QB also.
We could do worse than having Tracy, super FR Jalen Smith, and Auburn transfer Perry Thompson as our 3 wides. I am a little concerned at TE. Geers had a great JR season, and was little used this last year. I am hoping they can bring in a receiving threat there.
1. Iowa was over-rated, they played two top teams and lost by 20 to Maryland and I. State. Biggest win was at home over Ole miss. Polls were waiting for a loss to drop them.
2. Iowa, Northwestern, and to some degree Indiana, are three of the lesser athletic teams, especially in the front...
Perry was the 38th best overall prospect in '23, 8th best WR. 6-3 220 and a former fast track guy. Auburn ran for just as many as they threw, so he didn't put up a ton as a sophmore. He could be a great get. Rated 9.0 on 247 transfers.
Nolen Anderson is up to #104 in the nation on 247. It says:
Anderson is a skilled perimeter forward with extreme gravity from behind the arc. He shot 45% from three during the 3SSB season, including a whopping 50% on unguarded catch-and-shoot threes, and 90% at the free-throw line. He also has...
You bet! I live in Colorado, so its mostly conjecture looking at 247 rankings, and watching an occassional youtube video.
I watch some basketball here, but they have less high major talent. Even worse, those that are talented go prep school here more often. I watched 7-3 215 Fr Kayden...
While it would have been great to get SG Wiggins, who is going to Iowa St., hopefully we can get '27 Wing Baboucarr Ann, who is long, athletic, and a good shooter. We also offered a 4 star out of Milwaukee, Jalen Brown, 6-5 190, I am not sure on the odds we can get him?
The biggest needs next year are definitely a scoring wing to replace Tyson, and an athletic big guard to replace Reynolds. I see Wayzata's forward Anderson as a bit of a combo forward. I don't think he is athletic as Tyson, but he is more than Durkin. But I don't expect major minutes from him...
