Collado filled us in on his impressions after his Iowa State visit.
"I had a good visit to Iowa State and everything was nice. We had a tour of the facilities and I also had some time talking to the coaches at Iowa State. The Iowa State coaches just had a great message about them not getting a lot of 5 star guys but instead recruit 5 star character guys and develop them into 5 star caliber players at Iowa State. The Iowa State coaches have told me that they ;like my game and that they would be in school this spring to watch my workouts."
