Does anyone know who the top in-state players will be for 2010 besides derby, hoch, kohler, the kids from denison and solon?

Hoch is great.

**crash_zone** · 02-07-2009, 10:20 PM

the real question being if we have a chance for any of them....

Below is a first shot list I have seen on HR.com for 2010 in-state and offers (according to Rivals):

Andre Dawson - CR Washington, RB - Iowa, Illini, Wisc.
AJ Derby - IC City High, QB/Athlete - Cincy, Iowa, Stanford, Wisc.

Matt Hoch - Harlan, TE/DE - Iowa, ISU, Stanford
James Kohler - Ames, OL - Iowa, ISU
Brandon Scherff - Denison, OL - Iowa, ISU

Farley is a very smart and savvy player.

My real question would be are any of them true D1, BCS conference , Big 12 caliber players. If so great, if not who cares.

It seems like we really have a legit shot at a couple of them. Kohler and Scherff. A lot of the others seem to have some history with EIU. Maybe we can wow some of them at Junior Day and at least get them to consider. Rhoads has a tough job ahead.

Scout 2010 in-state prospects:
4* AJ Derby, S, Iowa City West (Cincinnati, Florida, Iowa, Oklahoma, Stanford, Wisconsin)
4* Andre Dawson, RB, Cedar Rapids Washington (Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin)
1* Bobby Brown, QB, Storm Lake (Iowa, Iowa State)
1* Zabe McCabe, QB, Sioux City Heelan (no schools listed)
1* Mark Lessington, OT, Lake City (no schools listed)
1* James Kohler, OT, Ames (no schools listed)
1* Matt Hoch, DE, Harlan (Iowa, Iowa State, Missouri)
1* James Morris, MLB, Solon (verbal commit to Iowa)

Brown & Hoch have ISU listed as schools of interest. Kohler is a hometown kid. Rhoads and his staff have a lot of work to do with Iowa HS coaches to recover from the damage done by Chizik. We are currently not even in 2nd place, Chizik was outrecruited in-state not just by Iowa, but by Missouri, Michigan State, and probably even UNI.

If Kohler plays FB, he'll go to Iowa State. He's a legacy and a home town kid. "A" student too. He has an offer from ISU and will improve a lot his senior year.
