Voice of the Hawkeyes Board

Sorry for not seeing this earlier - been on the phone. As far as I know, he doesn't have any offers yet. I've seen Dondre play twice now, and he's a beast. He's huge and very physical for a receiver, especially when you consider he's only a junior. He's been to two Iowa games this year, and is in regular contact with Coach Morgan. I haven't yet spoken to him since Saturday's visit, but it's unclear if/when Iowa will offer. From what I've seen, he does an outstanding job of using his body both downfield in jumpball situations, and in breaking tackles in the open field. On his best play the other night against Cedar Falls, he ran a simple hitch, caught the ball, shrugged off a couple tackles like they were first graders, and took off for about 40 yards. In the first game I saw, it was almost a given that West was going to throw a fade to Dondre any time they got into the red zone, and it was just about automatic. IMO, the only issue with him is whether he is explosive and sudden enough to get separation at the next level. There are so many great receivers out there, and he's not exactly playing against the best DB's. This is purely just speculation, but my assumption is that Iowa may wait to see how he performs at a summer camp against some better DB's to determine whether or not to offer.

Thank you for your support, we're certainly glad you're here!

Your comment about the subscription for xmas for some reason reminded me of the Klondike Bar commercial where all the guy has to do to get a Klondike Bar is listen to his wife for five seconds, and he makes it look like the toughest thing he's ever done. Maybe you could offer up five seconds of your time, and see where that gets you!

I don't think it's a big deal to get beaten to the punch by Iowa State, as long as it doesn't take TOO long for Iowa to offer.
