Monday morning recruiting update

HawkeyeReport.com reported the commitment of Maryland wide receiver Stephane Ngoumou, quoting his coach, Greg Malling, at Rockville (Md.) Wootton.

Clinton O-lineman Matt Murphy said Sunday night that Ngoumou (pronounced goo-moo) committed to Iowa during his visit Sunday. Ngoumou, 6-foot-4, 195 pounds, caught 71 passes for 1,100 yards and 12 TDs last season.

Ngoumou's commitment completed a massively productive recruiting weekend for the Hawkeyes. Iowa picked up five commits, Murphy, West Des Moines Valley OL Conor Boffeli, Ohio defensive back Micah Hyde, Macon (Ill.) tight end Dakota Getz and now Ngoumou, who drew interest from Syracuse and Connecticut.

Jim Boffeli, Conor's dad, confirmed his son's choice of Iowa on Monday morning. I asked if Iowa coaches had a position in mind for Conor. He said offensive line. Conor might initially begin his career at TE, but all parties agree that the 6-5, 250-pounder will grow into a position on the offensive line.

That's 17 commitments, 18 counting grayshirt LB Jake Reisen. The national signing period begins Feb. 4.
