I can say with total confidence that even in that exact scenario I wouldn't be excited that we rounded out our class with two players that don't even have ratings... I would be pissed that we didn't hold the schollys to balance out future classes.
I largely agree, it would deserve scrutiny, but Iowa isn’t at our level. Given Prohm’s history and other options, there would be some legitimate rational for optimism. Like when Self offered Frank Mason when Mason was a Townson commit.
