UNI has offered Abu Sama, a RB/DB from SE Polk. This is from a DMR article about him breaking the state long jump record. In college he intends to play football, class of 2023. Other offers so far are SIU and Kent State, with Iowa, Iowa State, and...

NBA Combine or not, if he plays himself into a position to be offered one of the upper tier G League contracts, he’d be going backwards by returning to college. In the G League he’d be playing against far better competition, and also aging one year...

Glad to see this. It fits with something Chris Williams said today, that AJ shot really well in an individual workout with the Knicks (? - thought I heard Knicks, but had things going on in the background). They collectively think enough of him to...

Miller and Condon on KXNO were just talking about the NBA Scouting Combine, which is next week. They talked a bit about AJ Green, with Miller saying he heard AJ is definitely going to have to go G League (no Combine invite) to eventually get to the...

Both Kirkman and Wilkins were listed in a recent DMR article about players who helped themselves during the April live period in AAU. My impression reading about Wilkins was he’d be a P6 recruit as he got older. He’s said to be the top Iowa HS...

No idea what the crystal ball references. Who made the prediction?...

The feature back, one guy sees all the snaps and carries type RB doesn’t exist in the NFL anymore. There’s Derrick Henry, who is super human…and that’s about it. There are plenty of run heavy offenses, but the game has morphed into spreading...

Agreed. The thing about Mosely…Missouri State has some monied people behind them, right? They’re not going to compete with an ACC or SEC school, but you’d think of all the MVC teams, they’d be the most likely to have their act together on NIL,...

The people who put together mock drafts have zero clue what the actual teams are truly thinking. The teams’ draft boards are very closely guarded secrets, and just because team X has a need doesn’t mean they’ll take the player who makes sense...

Seeing the news about Reeves made me wonder about Terry Roberts from Bradley. He committed to Georgia last week. Georgia beat out Oregon, Texas, and Maryland amongst others.

Wonder how much NIL money they got? My guess is a bunch.

If I had to bet, I’d bet the NIL offer. Right now it’s Wild West, with no market value having been set. There are insane amounts of cash being thrown around for no guaranteed return, at least in football. Upper level P6 in basketball is probably...

You’re assuming he’s going to Iowa State. I wouldn’t assume anything until he signs something. If someone offers him well into six figures in a NIL deal, and Iowa State’s booster types can’t compete, then the dad angle might get **** canned...

All of this is legit, BUT, we need to utilize the portal like everyone else. Go find a scorer or two. You’re not going to compete with Big Ten and Big Twelve schools, but there are a lot of players out there and not all can get Big Twelve offers...

One thing about Iowa State. They’ve already proven they don’t have their act together with NIL compared to other P6 schools. That’s proven by Hunter leaving. They could put something together quick for AJ, but money has to factor in to his decision,...

Out of curiosity, I just Googled “Noah Carter Twitter”. The one post was positive, and nothing negative against the school or team. It just wished AJ luck. I’m not on Twitter, so is there other stuff I’m not seeing? I can’t read any of...
