That's what someone who was part of the program when he committed told me. They were wrong, apparently, and so was I. I've never talked to Jake about it. But, ok. If I lose cred, so be it.

Let's compare him to an Iowa boy that was offered a scholarship, then, since Miller was.

And to get it straight, I know and like Jesse. I've known him since his freshman year. I have no problem with Jesse. It gets old when people keep referencing his situation, which is by far an aberration. For every Jesse Smith, there's 25 guys that don't make it. To put that sort of expectation near a lot of these kids is unfair to them.

Miller is in a totally different boat. He's expected to produce. Otherwise he wouldn't have been offered. I know Jesse had some question marks around him, enough to not land an offer, and the expectations are different.

But, whatever, that's where I'm leaving that. I'm excited to have Miller on board. It's difficult for a LB to stand out in 7 on 7, but he did.

If that 40 time is accurate, which it's not, he would've been the 3rd fastest LB or TE at the NFL combine this year out of 60 or so players.

It will be intersting to see what he develops into. He's probably not done growing yet.

Like the story line behind this. The coach's contact a local high coach, they send some tape. We immediatatly check the kid out and invite hiim up and then offer a scholarship.

Wonder if he was on anybody elses radar?

Maybe he was pumped.

Jevohn is from my hometown and I know his family quite well. He may be a bit under the radar but he also plays at a Class A school. The 4.6 40 was timed by ISU coaches at the camp. As someone mentioned he was the MVP of the 7 on 7 tourney and that is hard to do as a LB. He's a great kid and he's worked hard.

If you would read the article instead of being your typical ******* self and just throwing statements around like you know something, you would have seen that he ran that at the ISU camp. Therefor it is accurate. Would he run it every time? Who knows.

**ripvdub** · 06-20-2010, 01:26 PM

If he is very similar to Jake Knott, I for one will be pleased.

has bgm turned their football program around or is he just a diamond in the rough. i realize it has been a decade since i was in highschool (HLV) but we used to crush bgm back in the day in virtually every sport.

this dude must have dominated that league if he got a D1 schollie. those schools are tiny. Bob Gallery was also from a class A school. hopefully he turns out as well as gallery did for iowa.

Scout.com: Dream fulfilled for newest Iowa State commit

After reading that...and seeing the pic of this kid...count me pumped! Only in Iowa does this kid stay under the radar. He looks like a beast.

**bigsag** · 06-20-2010, 02:40 PM

WOWSER ! That picture and accompanying story might be worth.... A DOUBLE WOWSER !!

**clone2011** · 06-20-2010, 03:00 PM

From the Scout article:

I'll play anywhere as long as I can get on the field at some point.

Gotta love it!

The 40 time is all relative.

The picture I saw was pretty vague. I'm excited to have him but that picture didn't show much.

that is also against class A competition. i played in the same conference and i played LB and RB at a whopping 155 and didn't feel small. those on the field with him are likely very small kids to reference him against.
