Current recruiting process (via CBSSports)
And Iowa is still working the recruiting trail. Prior to the departures of Jon Raymon, Marcus Grant, AJ Derby, Mika'il McCall and Marcus Coker coach Ferentz told the media Iowa was looking to sign around 20 this year. Well, it's obvious now the staff is looking to fill the max (25), or come close.
Iowa has added Alex Kozan, C.J. Beathard and Nate Meier this week. They are still after a few others that will either decide tonight or tomorrow morning. Here is a short list of players still with Iowa in the mix:
Sean Draper - A 6' 160 pound defensive back from Cleveland, Ohio. Draper is a three-star prospect according to Rivals and will decide between Iowa, Pitt and Louisville. It was rumored that Draper would make his verbal commitment known yesterday but now it appears he won't announce until tomorrow. The latest Twitter rumors have Draper as a Louisville lean.
Ian Thomas - A 6'1" 190 pound wide receiver from Maryland. Thomas is a three-star prospect according to Rivals and will decide between Iowa, Rutgers, North Carolina and Virginia. Thomas will announce his decision tomorrow at his high school around 7:00 am CT.
Aaron Curry - A 6'3" 298 pound defensive lineman from Keller, Texas. Curry is a three-star prospect according to Rivals that will decide between Iowa and Nebraska. It's Iowa against their former defensive line coach Rick Kaczenski for this one. Curry is set to announce at his high school tomorrow at 7:00 am.
Terrell Jackson - A 6'3" 255 pound defensive tackle from Columbus, Ohio. Jackson is a three-star prospect according to Rivals that will decide between Pitt and Illinois tomorrow at 9:00 am. Yesterday, it was rumored on Michigan State's Rivals board that Jackson had committed to Iowa. Iowa was in the mix but Jackson was to visit Michigan State and rumored to commit there. Now, the Twitters say Pitt and Illinois. Jackson has been linked to at least four schools in the last 24 hours so I suppose he's still one to watch. Or maybe not?
Iowa was thought to be the leader for New Jersey running back Tevin Shaw but he said yesterday Iowa pulled his offer.
Quanzell Lambert, four-star linebacker from New Jersey, is still committed to Rutgers despite the coaching change. Per Twitter, he may not sign tomorrow but rather get to know Rutgers new coach Kyle Flood before making his final decision.
Those are some names Iowa has been linked to. There could be more, like Jackson's name popping up out of nowhere yesterday. The letters of intent start faxing in tomorrow to Iowa and like last year, they will operate an updating blog with bios and videos of each recruit.
As always, recruiting is fluid and we'll use the comments to add updates if necessary.

Tomorrow at 5pm cst on the CBS Sports Network
is the International Bowl which will include three Hawkeye commits. Garmon, Smith and Ekakitie are there representing the USA! USA! USA!
Here’s a vid including Smith
seriously?
If you were able to write "Ekakitie" from memory, you might be a creeper.
(It’s OK. You can come with me to the next Creepers Anonymous meeting. We meet in the basement of the old Methodist church. The seats aren’t very comfortable, but the cookies are good.)
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Pfft. Ekakitie is much easier to spell than Kounjdiao was.
(I’m not going to bother spell-checking Cyrus’s last name, just to drive home the point)

I still have to look up Venckus

So, technically Ekakitie and Smith are representing the World
not the USA, but Garmon sure is. Apparently it was a big deal when Smith scored the first TD for the World against the USA in last year’s game.

Think about how small most cheerleaders are
and then think about seeing someone that small being that ripped. Does. Not. Compute.
Caring is creepy
Apparently she is 5’10". She is probably as big or bigger than the male cheerleaders.
Does anyone else think that bench pressing 155 isn't a big deal?
I benched 75 in 7th grade and I have terrible upper arm strength (yeah, I know there’s more to it than just upper arm strength). But still, with arms that big, you’d think it’d be more.
by Captain n Diet Coker on Jan 31, 2012 1:41 PM CST up reply actions
75 and 155
are two entirely different worlds. For a female who refuses to juice, 155 is pretty impressive. I would bet that the average man, who either doesn’t work out or doesn’t do it very seriously, would be able to do 155.

Her stats lead me to believe she's not truly "college football's strongest cheerleader"

She can bench press 155 pounds, squat 255 pounds and dead lift 230 pounds.

I haven't figured out what my muscle tendencies are yet.
I’d love to get into running and slim down but it seems that I don’t have the endurance for the long running (yet). I wish I had a higher ratio of slow twitch muscles in relation to the fast twitch muscles. I wonder if muscle groups can be trained to have a different response quality.

They can to an extent.
But you’re mostly stuck with what you’re born with. Unless you are some kind of genetic wierdo, your ratio is going to be fine for distance running with the goal of fitness. It just takes awhile to get to where you can keep going for 30 or 40 minutes, which is where I tend to lose interest in the whole affair.

These things happen
Between the trends on style, fit, color as well as body changes and outfit considerations (wearing flats or high heels could determine your length size as well), it is very possible that every pair is different from the other. I could have a long length, size 8, bootcut, indigo-colored with the ‘whiskered’ look or have a long length, size 8, bootcut, in indigo that has the ‘deconstructed’ look or a long length, size 8, bootcut, indigo-colored that is neither deconstructed nor whiskered or faded or whatever.

What in the blue hell are "whiskered" jeans
Parsimony methods are the easiest ones to explain - Felsenstein
They've got lines just below the pockets that look like wear from sitting over time
As a result, the jeans look like they’ve got whiskers.
“Deconstructed” is probably jeans with holes, most people understand faded jeans.

To be fair,
it can definitely be hard to find a good pair of pants, even with all the options out there. They’ve been getting better at it the last 10 years or so, but depending on body type it can be difficult. I, for one, am tall for a girl (but not outrageously so at 5’9) and thus need long pants. A lot of stores don’t carry tall pants in the store though and only sell them online (unless they get returned in the store). Plus, since I’m not that tall, a lot of the times the tall pants are too long but the regular pants are high waters on me. So if I find a fit I like I tend to get multiple styles of it.

And don’t even get me started on shirts. At least the trends for that have been longer shirts the last few years which I am forever grateful for.

We are both glad to see skinny jeans back
She did not like the flares/boot cuts… she’d dig up old Levi straight legs at the thrift stores (I know, we are products of the 80s). She’s not someone who is going to wear a 3-5" spike heel with her jeans, so she doesn’t like them dragging the floor (However, espadrille wedges are a different story, but she prefers to wear those with a dress or skirt – she has GREAT legs…)

See, my GF has a different problem
She’s 5’3" and you’d think petites, but, she has Type 1 diabetes and even though it didn’t manifest itself until she was 6, it stunted her growth. She’s a SM in the butt, but she’s a XL on top. Linebacker shoulders (man can she swim!). So she needs petite bottoms but huge tops. It creates all sorts of problems in dresses and tops… she’s not well endowed, either, although I have offered to pop for aftermarket parts if that would help :p

Men's pants = easy
you have a 34 inch waist and 34 inch in-seem? Need to adjust one of those by an inch or two? Easy. Then those are your pants. Brands fit differently, figure that out and your done.

I feel dirty that we pulled Tevin Shaw's offer
I don’t know any of the details, but ugh college recruiting.
Anyone got the good dirt on this?
Is he just butthurt or did Wilson eff up and forget to call him back when they decided they didn’t have an offer for him anymore?

Seems like there was some miscommunication btw Shaw/his coach and Iowa somewhere.
My guess is there was a spot for one more RB and Hill got it when he flipped from ISU. How well was that stated to Shaw? According to his coach, it would seem not very well. But we’ve only got one side of the story here, too.
(Of course there’s also the question of why we’re capping RB recruiting at two given the nature of the AIRBHG problem, but that’s a whole ’nother kettle of fish.)

Maybe they really like the two walk-on RBs
I think this might be a major factor, actually.

A walk-on RB from CRWash
when has that ever gone wrong?
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Dawson was actually a legit recruit at one point though
Rivals had him at 4* following his junior year. I think he wound up at UNI and then a Juco mostly because of grades.
It just seems really odd to me that the coach would lash out like that if we didn't screw up on our end somehow.

Seems like bad business for him, though.
I can’t imagine that helps if he has interest in getting into college coaching someday or getting some of his less viable players looks in the future.

Not sure what happened
But I’m pretty sure his offer was on the table since when, August? There’s no way the Iowa coaches didn’t say “Look, we understand you need some time to decide but if someone else comes along and they’re ready to commit, you might lose your offer.”
This is where I come down.
The kid has to know that it’s not one kid, one offer. If he wanted to come here, commit. If he is holding out for other offers, it’s not going to last forever. It’s an ugly side of recruiting, but reality.
BORK BORK BORK
Thanks for compiling the nebulous world of commits, PSD
Let’s see how it pans out tomorrow. The last few days are kind of a wild ride.

Decoding recruitnik speak.
Topic 6: Give us three or four players who can make an immediate impact next season.
"In Iowa’s class, Greg Garmon. He fits their system well.

As my brother said, “He fits their system well” is code for “They have no RBs, he is a RB.”

Seeing that our Defensive Commits seem to be okay with coaching "changes"
What’s the significance? Either they aren’t concerned or they know and are happy. Or maybe the fans place too much emphasis on the impact coaching changes have on the decision making process.
Who knows, but it’s obvious we’ll know who our new players are before we get to call Phil Parker our DC. Either way, I have no issues with the way things have been handled.

That budget should be basically unlimited by all practical standards
If they want a kid and think they can get him, a difference in recruiting budget between $200K and $300K is ludicrous in an $80M program.

Is that just football or total?
Because I imagine the bump in basketball recruiting from Lickliter to Fran was pretty substantial
Steve walking on has been a forgone conclusion for awhile, I think
Glad they didn’t use a scholarship on him, at least. By most accounts he’s pretty far behind where he brothers were at this point, and I think his dad can probably handle the tuition.
Don't kids of university staff members get free tuition anyway?

Per Iowa’s rivals site.
this is probably Iowa’s best endgame recruiting wise in a long time, and we are doing it without an official D coordinator. bravo Iowa.
