I hope he can bulk up for DL.

Source?

 

[gocy444]

I Hope those other teams were actually interested in him, must be pretty talented.

 

[Aclone]

I hope he can get a heck of a lot faster!

Or is he going to walk on?

Great news.

We've been in on this guy for quite awhile.

 

[bosco]

Good size and a good student. Will he stay at RB? Doesn't seem to have quicks to be a RB in this system if you go by the ever accurate Yahoo 40 time.

Yeah, I knew that. That was my point.

From the videos I've seen he doesn't look incredibly fast, seems to be more of a tackle breaker. I'm guessing the 40 time is pretty close

I could see maybe a switch to linebacker if he could bulk up....not a bad 40 for a linebacker.

He's been in our camps and the coaches have liked what they've seen enough to offer him. I'm pretty sure we offered him last year.

 

[Cyclone_Grav]

perhaps he can bulk up and fill woody's role when he leaves

If nothing else, guys like Hill aren't waiting on that coveted offer to Iowa. They want to be at ISU. We got that here and we got it will Miller as well as some other kids. The perception of ISU in this state has greatly improved in the last two years. The best part is we haven't even started winning yet.

Yeah, he's only .21 slower than Floyd Mattison, who's probably the same size.

And didn't withdraw the offer when good RB's signed a couple of months ago?

Sorry, I'm just hoping we're not back to the bad old days, when McCarney offered Iowa kids solely because they were Iowa kids. I swear he had a quota he had to fill.

This guy is probably the second best player in Iowa behind Darboh.

 

[HtownCyclone]

The kid dosnt hardly loose any speed on first and second contact. This could be a good one.

 

[Tre4ISU]

Mattison is smaller framed than Hill. He doesn't have the room to put on weight. I bet Hill comes in at least 20 lbs heavier than Mattison did. Besides that, Mattison was a freak for a high schooler.

He's easily a Top 5 player in the state, probably right behind Darboh actually.

Source tells me that this commitment is indeed true. I am traveling/dealing with some family stuff today so I hope to have more on this later this weekend.
