Some targets I'd keep an eye on would be Evan Boudreaux, Novian Cherry, Glynn Watson.
James Daniels, Alex Ofodile, Kyle Markway, Chris Warren, David Edwards, Raequan Williams to name a few.
I can see him making an immediate impact, especially in rush situations.
I like Novian Cherry a lot. Good outside and inside game.
I see recruiting success adding up to two things. Hype and winning. Think Oregon. The Ducks have soo much hype around the program because 1) it's cool to go there because of the jerseys, the nike, the scheme, the hype. 2) they back it up with winning. Think Iowa needs to try to spice it up a bit, and if they win, results will come. I'm talking win the conference, get in the playoffs.
Assuming you mean John Raridon. Good. Not great, because Nebraska is going to be a player. But good. He likes Iowa.
Couldn't tell ya. He visited multiple times. Really liked Iowa, said they liked him. Can't speculate as to what happened, but there was a missed opportunity IMO.
Assuming we're talking about football and recruiting polls. Not in the Ferentz era. He doesn't care about big rankings, more so just focused on fit and character. Basketball, there's a chance they could make a few splashes.
Ofodile has a few options. Not sure with him yet, though safe bet is Mizzou. Notre Dame for Cornell and Hilliard.
Depends on how much you follow Iowa recruiting. Devine Ozigbo, Aca'Cedric Ware, both 3-stars. Ozigbo is very underrated IMO. Would be a perfect fit at Iowa.
