What team gives him the best chance to play for a NC and develop - Ohio State, LSU, Alabama, Clemson, etc. Unfortunately Iowa is not in that mix. Now straight development, Iowa leads the pack. He seems further along in his development though then Hock or Kittle at this point in recruitment (probably closer to Fant).
Are we talking about Fidone or AJ Epenesa?
Bro, how do you think most fans choose their favorite team?
He's visited Iowa four times. If he wasn't interested, I doubt he'd visit so many times. Since blowing up, things could obviously change, but it's not like he has had a dislike of Iowa.
I wonder if pierschbacher would trade his championship for "wirfs money".
Tbh that's a pretty dumb two cents.
How the hell did you come up with that from what I typed?
Most 18 year olds aren't thinking ahead like that, they want to glory first and think the money will follow.I wonder if pierschbacher would trade his championship for "wirfs money".
My money says yes
How often has Nebby gotten a top 25 recruting class compared to Iowa? Nearly every year... They are good salesmen, KF for years "undersold" Iowa which I think hurt recruiting. I think that is starting to change, but it will take some time.

If Fidone comes to Iowa, wouldn’t they be recruiting over them?
No. He will get the same attention as all players get at Iowa, and have every chance to excel. How many 2 and 3 stars have you seen come on to be great players as juniors and seniors at Iowa? It happens every year. How often does that happen at AL or OH State? They aren't built to develop players, they are built to evaluate and spit them out.
I guess I’m confused what you mean by Alabama recruiting over them. I think it’s naive to say Alabama doesn’t develop players. Schools like USC, FSU, etc., who have huge recruiting classes yet fewer players drafted than Iowa; don’t develop players.
AL gets the highest-ranked classes almost every year. They start with tha most talent - Iowa is usually very middle of the pack at best, especially with TEs, because they build them, such that when TEs leave Iowa, they are ahead of where the AL TEs are. AL's "development" is culling the herd more than taking each player and working to make them the best player they can be. THAT is my point.
Undersold? How do you undersell your school or program? Yeah, I can see Kirk sitting on the kids parents couch telling the kid not to come to Iowa because our facilities suck and we most likely will suck too? LOL
They were just that good? Hindsight is great, isn't it?
YOu must be new to the board... for several years KF has been demonized for saying Iowa isn't sexy, we are a developmental program, etc. THat would be how you "undersell" your program. Go back in the football forum and recruiting posts and you will see several references to this.
So Frosty sits on the couch and spews non-sense about how they will be Nat'l contenders next year ("just look at those way too early preseason polls kid") and they're bringing back the huskers of the 90's ...while Kirk tells the kid our program will continue to compete for division championships, be invited to upper tier bowl games and develop you for the NFL.
