The top player in the state for 2021 is either going to your rival or Wisconsin/Nebraska. Ouch
Yeah, that sucks. What about the others?

*Wait, you're saying you think Bollers is in the mix with Wisc and Neb? That's bold.

Man, you're sure skirting how you feel about next years instate class. From the looks of it there are a lot of guys rated currently and most with quite a few P5 offers. How are you guys sitting with them?

I have no idea. I am sure some of the higher rated instate kids now with a ton of offers will have no other P5 option but Iowa like Waggoner and Williams. Recruiting is fluid and only a moron would project 16 year olds right now.

LOL, nice back-peddle. ISU's batting like 0.100 against Iowa for instate kids lately, hope you guys get some momentum soon.

*Edit - might be worse than 0.100. Yikes.

Dugan - TCU (Iowa&ISU offer)
Miller - Iowa (ISU offer)
Enders - Iowa (ISU offer)
Campbell - Iowa (ISU offer)

Newsome - Neb (Iowa offer)

2020 Top 5 Iowa:
Jones - Iowa (ISU offer)
Dekkers - ISU (no Iowa offer)
Gunnerson - Neb (Iowa&ISU offer)
Volk - Iowa (ISU offer)
Pedersen - ISU (no Iowa offer)

Bollers is not a Nebraska lean and does anyone know if Brecht is actually an Iowa lean?

What does that kid's flip have anything to do with this topic? Are you trying to say a coach came in late and tried to flip a guy? No way, that almost sounds exactly like what I'm saying Harbaugh did....

Weird.
There was uncertainty about that position at the time for Michigan. I know this is painful for you but think this through.
-Harbaugh goes in and sees the kid but doesn't have a scholarship yet but might.
-Kid wants to have Michigan in. Why on earth would they let him in the house if they were 200% committed or whatever non-sense she posted.
-Harbaugh needed a backup in the event they didn't get the guy they wanted.
-Had Harbaugh had an actual schollie to give that night the kid would have taken it.
-Iowa fan gets the warm fuzzy to think they beat Michigan for a skill player. Congrats.

So, you follow recruiting closely enough to know where all of these guys “lean” but you are adamant that ISU was still recruiting Waggoner and Williams when they picked Iowa? I suppose they were really pushing to get Twedt back too

Colby's from Cedar Rapids and Liddle is from Bettendorf.. Both probably grew up Hawkeye fans. Not really a shocker those two are choosing the Hawks.

Hey, I think it's brilliant by your staff to offer these kids and then back out once Iowa comes in. Pick your battles I guess. As long as the fans keep buying it.
