Did he tho? He and his Family are not originally from Iowa.

His uncle, by marriage, played football for Iowa.

His grandfather also played football at Iowa and it sounds like there are a lot of Iowa alums on his mom's side of the family.

Foster has never been an Iowa lean though...

I have no idea whether that is true or not but all of his picks on both Rivals and 247 are for Iowa. I usually don't put too much stock in those picks though until it gets close to an announcement.

From what I have heard, Foster has yet to make a decision or even have a favorite in mind. He wants to wait things out and see if he can pick up a couple other blue blood offers before making a commitment. I do know he really likes Conditt and those two became friends when he visited and I also believe his girlfriend is going to Iowa State.

Just for the record, here was when our commits were the last two years...

9.12 = Zion Griffin
9.17 = Tyrese Haliburton
10.2 = George Conditt IV
10.26 = Talen Horton-Tucker

7.26 = Marcedus Leech
9.2 = Luke Anderson
9.26 = Tre Jackson
5.7 = Caleb Grill

...so we probably still have some waiting to do for this class to start filling out.

So then he probably already knows how annoying they can be. Doesn’t look good for the hawks.

FWIW Bock seems pretty up to speed as the Hawks 247 guy. He's no Jon Miller. 17/17 on picks in 2019 and 66/69 all time.

Yes, but keep in mind that his record is likely as good as it is because he changes his crystal ball prediction days, hours, or minutes before a pick is made to ensure being more accurate. That's how most of these guys work and get as much street cred as they do.

He only has three picks out there that haven't seen commitments yet, if anything what you are saying makes it more concerning. Not like he is throwing out a bunch of random picks then changing them last minute.

Some people's CB's mean more than others, but even Jerry Meyer and Alex Halsted are wrong.
