..........................................................................................................................................
Indianola guard Evan Gauger
Do you want to play college basketball?
“Oh definitely.”
Have you had any recruiting attention yet?
“There are a couple of colleges. One is Queens College in New York City.”
Are there any other ones?
“Off the top of my head, I don’t know. It is just some of the smaller ones around here.”
Have you made any visits?
“No, not really.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My favorite college is North Carolina or Iowa State. It is one of those.”
..........................................................................................................................................
Pella defensive lineman Nick DeJong
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I’ve been in contact with a few schools like Iowa State, Minnesota, Northern Illinois, and then some smaller schools as of now.”
What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I’d probably say Iowa State has shown the most interest. They have asked me to come to a lot of game day stuff and bowl practices in December.”
Have you made any college trips yet?
“I went to one game earlier in the season when it was Iowa-Iowa State. I am hoping to get to one of their bowl practices in December.”
What position are you being recruited at?
“It is defensive line right now. It is defensive end or defensive tackle.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Not necessarily because I am more of person who enjoys Saturdays and watches the good game. Living in Iowa, I have always rooted for Iowa and Iowa State but I wouldn’t say there is just one favorite college.”

Lewis Central defensive tackle Logan Jones
What colleges have offered you so far?
“I have one from Minnesota and one from Iowa State.”
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I just went to Notre Dame (Saturday) for a game. They are the only other one.”
Are you hearing from Iowa and Nebraska at all?
“No, I haven’t heard from them.”
How was the trip to Notre Dame?
“That was really cool. It is a cool seeing everything up there. The game was really cool. I had never been to Notre Dame. Their campus was really nice.”
What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I wouldn’t say one is recruiting me hard. They are all about the same.”
Have you made any college trips yet?
“I went to the Minnesota game against Illinois and the Iowa State game vs. Iowa.”
When do you want to make a final decision?
“I haven’t really though about that yet. I haven’t thought about where I want to go or what I want to do academically. I haven’t looked into that.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“I didn’t really have a favorite college team. I was more of an NFL fan.”
