12th Commitment - Carson Hansen
- Thread starter kcbob79clone
- Start date
lol I went to Newton. Ankeny ran it as well into the same time period.
He was listed as an athlete on the Nick Osen commitment graphic. It appears we are starting him at RB.
Anyone have his track numbers?
I don't know...as of right now, you assume Brock, Silas, Sanders, Norton will be back in 2023. Add Hansen and that's 5, which is the perfect number IMO. Any more than that and you really run into issues getting guys carries and then you're looking at transfers. Now, if someone hits the portal after the season, you are a little short-handed, but there's always the transfer portal and late JUCOs to add some depth. I know ISU is sniffing around the IWCC RB some.

The commitment graphic ISU apparently gave him doesn’t include a position. That said, unless my eyes are deceiving me, he’s wearing #28.
You’d be surprised by the amount old school offenses in Minnesota high schools. I remember moving from TX to MN in high school and I was told my new high school ran a veer offense. On top of that I think 5 of our games were against teams that ran veer or wing T offenses
I played at Newton in that time period with @BWRhasnoAC. I can confirm.
A lot of old coaches in Iowa also. My oldest son's school (this kid just graduated from college) ran the wing T. My alma mater went to the belly option due to lack of players and a coach who was struggling to get players out.
Minnesota Gatorade player of the year as a junior and no offer from the boat rower?
Maybe rower is concerned he might be faster than he is. He likes to always talk about how fast he is, maybe he prefers to have players let him win.
I know of a few that still run the Wing T in Iowa. Aplington - Parkersburg to be one for sure. Bishop Garrigan also ran it if I remember. Not sure though. The good ole swinging gate at Starmont. Lots of old school still around or was at least 10-15 years ago.
Garrigan ran an I the last few years of their 11 man, or at least in the games I saw. Clarion had/has an old style offense. Several of the wing Ts in the area are even bastardized versions of it. Original one didn’t have the QB under center. Basically it was a combo of the wingT and another old offense that I forget.
Those old offenses will generally win you a bunch of games but seldom win you a championship (outside of class A) now. You hit the dome and those wing Ters struggle against the pass since they never see it in practice.
Hansen had just received a Northwestern offer Sunday from former Iowa State assistant Lou Ayeni
