K Cole Becker commits to IOWA STATE over Rice after a July 29th offer and unofficial visit for the Oklahoma Game. Rated the #1 K by Kohl's and #14 by 247.
“We arent going to land Nwankpa”
Well, that’s disappointing to hear so early. He is wanted by everyone.
Anything particular why we aren’t still in the running?
What is the problem with legacy recruiting? We have a terrible track record with them. Its a huge surprise when they choose us.
Why isn’t at least 50/50 do you think ?
I tend not to lend credence to definitive statements like that, that aren’t straight from the horse’s mouth—or at least holding the feed bag.
There were people who said we weren’t going to land a certain player currently employed in Green Bay. And who said we weren’t going to beat Oklahoma this year.
It’s the #1 kicker from Kohl’s camp. Does every kicker in the country go to that camp?
I think I heard something weeks ago about a kicker with several offers committing to a blue blood. I’m assuming he wasn’t at Jamie Kohl’s camp.
I think a lot of senior kickers will be returning next year with the extra year of eligibility, so the market is a little less crowded. Plus his number 1 rating is from Kohl’s which is 1 of 2 highly regarded kicker rating services (Sailor being the other one)
Sailor has him at #4. Has him rated as a starter freshman year.
Chris Sailer Kicking & Rubio Long Snapping Player Rankings - Voted best kicking, punting and long snapping camp in the world.
Chris Sailer Kicking & Rubio Long Snapping - 16th Year Running for Kicking, Punting, and Long Snapping Camps.
We are still technically in the running, but don’t get your hopes up for a top-5 safety recruit to choose ISU, no matter of legacy or not.
Which of the Iowa commits can we get to flip over the recent bombshell coming out of the dm register? (now actually national news on espn.com lawsuit involving former players)
How any Iowa kid wants to jump into that cesspool is beyond me.....

The fact we offered a kicker tells me CMC has a lot of confidence we are headed to championship/playoff games.
Without a special teams coach, who actually helps with kickers technique? Curious who helps with this.
Yep, and it’s the more respected of the two camps. He’ll be one of the two kickers in the Under Armour All American game
Well, at the other camp he apparently out kicked all but three of the “other guys”, so I’m not sure whether “more respected” is relevant—especially when both are clearly more respectable than 247’s kicker rankings.
“More respected” is relevant when one camp ranks guys based on their performance at camps and uses statistics to back up their rankings while the other camp ranks guys based on how often a guy comes to their camp/how much in total they pay the coach running the camp and obviously performing at the camp.
Either way, we’re splitting hairs and he’s a great get for us. As I mentioned, he’s one of two kickers playing in the Under Armour All American game.
OT Tyler Maro is now warm to IOWA STATE and Nebraska. Cyclone offer on April 24th and visits 9/14/19; 10/26/19; 3/7/20. Rated as the #47 OT and #606 in the class.
