'11 RB Melvin Gordon (Iowa verbal)

**HawksICubs** · 02-08-2010, 04:24 PM

Melvin Gordon
Bradford HS (Kenosha, WI)
HT: 6'2"
WT: 180
40: 4.63

Offer: Iowa

Interest: Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Washington State, Tennessee, Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa State, Minnesota, Illinois, Cincinnati, Syracuse, Louisville, Miami, NW, OSU

Will be the most highly recruited RB out of Wisconsin since John Clay and he actually has similar size to Clay, in terms of frame. Wisconsin is the early favorite but anything can happen.

Iowa is not the new fav...

From what I'm seeing, apparently Wisconsin is looking at his more as a DB, which is scaring him off. I can't say I really understand why they'd do that looking at him on tape. Still, if it works out for us, I'm all for it.

Quote:

• Melvin Gordon (Kenosha, Wis./Bradford) is one of the top prospects in the Midwest.

"I have scholarship offers from Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Washington State, Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa State, Minnesota, Illinois, Cincinnati, Syracuse and Louisville," said the 6-foot, 185-pound athlete. "All of those schools called me during the spring evaluation period. Right now, the Iowa Hawkeyes are my clear cut leader."

I wonder when he will commit, I feel fairly confident that he will be a HAWKEYE

**HawksICubs** · 07-12-2010, 06:20 PM

Melvin is currently camping at MSU. His teammate and friend (Trae Waynes) has committed to MSU.

I want this kid!!!! I thought he was going to commit soon, but i was wrong

HerkyHawk · 07-26-2010, 04:11 AM

I cant mention any names but i heard that he was going to commit to Iowa monday... This is wrong, from what i understand we are still one of his favs... He is coming for an official next week i believe. Its going to be hard to beat out m-st, his buddy is a commit there

Chaek28 · 07-26-2010, 04:57 PM

Maybe he will commit today or during his visit.

If he does it would be a good deal!!!

**HawksICubs** · 07-26-2010, 06:03 PM

If he is visiting Iowa next weekend it will not be an official visit. Official visits cannot happen until later in the year.

Michigan State had a running back commit by the name of Mika'il McCall. This is the second running back to commit to MSU for 2011 class.

MSU's top two backs last year were freshman, sound familiar? And last year's class included three running backs. I don't know if this helps Iowa's chance with Gordon because Iowa is in a very comparable position at the running back spot.

Chaek28 · 08-04-2010, 12:43 AM

Anyone know when he is wanting to make his decision?

NorseHawk · 08-04-2010, 02:14 AM

Probably not until after he's taken all his officials, at least. I don't know how so many Iowa fans got it in their heads that he was going to commit at any second.
