FOOTBALL RECRUITING: One official visitor for the weekend

Can't think of a bad player with an apostrophe in their first name.

I'm not suggesting that ISU doesn't have a chance, but he wouldn't be the first recruit to visit a school just to experience a big game. Maybe Sam told him Hilton was killer.

To be fair I doubt a football player from florida has much interest in a Kansas ISU basketball game.

I'm just trying to figure out how all of these schools found out about him since Iowa didn't offer. I was told by someone on here once that an Iowa offer is what the big boys look for and then they will go after him since Iowa has given them the seal of approval that they are good enough. Now i'm so confused.

Imagine being a high school kid and having an offer list like that. Holy cow.

And he wouldn't be the first to dec ide he liked it after he came for a big game.

C'mon. He's committed to USF, not USC. This would be a really nice catch--though I've seen some mention he's a possible safety or linebacker rather than wideout.

Dont want to play Debbie Downer but it is the weekend before signing day and we have 1 visitor after 3 decommitments?

**Cyclone04** · 01-26-2012, 05:05 PM

Wonder if this kid is an academic risk? With his offer list why So. Florida or ISU?

Would love to have him though!

**RING4CY** · 01-26-2012, 05:05 PM

That would be a good commit.

I would rather have a 4* WR over a couple guys that might not even qualify.

Unless he is buddies with SR and he talked him into coming up because Hilton is off the hook.

I'm not saying it isn't a legit visit. I am saying that sometimes kids do visit for other reasons. When I was in high school I took one of my free pass - visit a college days to visit an old girlfriend who was in college. Made a nice 3 day weekend out of it. Just saying.

It would be great if he was a signing day surprise.

While I agree somewhat, you dont take a visit this late in the process unless you have interest. If he gets to play with a friend thats even better and I am sure its a real reason he is coming this late.

Or unless you have a visit to burn and you figure might as well use it or lose it.

I'm not saying he's not interested, and I hope he is. It's just that so many are saying that him just taking a flyer is out of the question. It isn't.

**Not4UI** · 01-26-2012, 05:24 PM

I wonder if a South Florida coach is coming to Iowa State?

How would you know that? It's a free trip to see a big game and visit a good buddy. He obviously has a visit to burn. Why not use it. It's up to CCM and CPR to seal the deal on this "free-loader".
