Saw this guy is ranked 6 or 7 on 247 now. Gulp.

Yeah, he's a good player. Wish his dad went somewhere else haha.

Let's see, Grant Wistrom is 40 years old. He should be having a kid be a senior in HS soon....shouldn't he?

The scary things is that Iowa has traditionally taken lower ranked guys and turned them into extremely "solid" def. lineman. Heck , last year, they were 1 play away from winning the Big10 and at one time, 3 of the 4 on the front line were 8 man players in HS. They took a 2* kid from SWI and he became a 3 year starter and was solid. Not to mention how they always win in the trenches. When they do get a highly ranked kid, he typically becomes an All-American. I hate it, but that staff gets more from their talent than most schools.

I know he's a Hawkeye legacy and thus we had no chance but ... dang ... someone like this would have been handy.
