He's going to Iowa. Only a matter of time nowHe i probably a legit 6’4”, or damn close to it. Good kid.
We live in Ankeny, and Brecht is my 7th grader’s hero. It’ll break his heart if Brody doesn’t pick Iowa

You get a totally different perspective when you have kids go through the recruiting process, thats for sure.....
She can't be...forum rules and all.OP's mom is off limits.
Gawd dammit, Dougie.
I find it ironic that a very high percentage of this thread is still talking about Nebraska...and a smaller percentage is talking about Iowa FB recruiting.
We have seen the enemy, and he is us.
Don't think about purple elephants!

If I had an intelligent rebuttal to offer, I'd do so here.

I’d love to see Brecht and Johnson .... man....Keagan is the real deal fellas
I think we get Brecht, Johnson is a maybe, Skyler Bell We get, Fidone would be icing on the cake but I am not sure where. he goes. He has so many options right now. We get the center out of Florida. I think this could end up being a very memorable class. Add in Parks as a get, and a very good one!

Fidone seems to have a connection with some of the Iowa commits
I was pretty convinced that he was a long shot, but after seeing some small but maybe significant twitter things, I am thinking we have a decent shot. Iowa is hot on the recruiting trail now, and maybe he has been watching.
He's definitely been paying close attention as he is very involved with fellow Hawkeyes on Twitter.I was pretty convinced that he was a long shot, but after seeing some small but maybe significant twitter things, I am thinking we have a decent shot.

Who knows what his plans are for committing..but it'd be odd for him to be in close communication like he has been and then pick Nebraska. My opinion.

I think Iowa definitely has a good shot, which is saying something since we hear how much of a Nebraska fan Fidone is.
As I've said all along, the longer this drags on, the better chance Iowa has of landing him. I'm guessing Fidone is really torn. Nebraska does not utilize TEs like Iowa does and certainly doesn't have the track record Iowa does of putting TEs in the NFL.
If Fidone weren't strongly considering Iowa, he would have given his verbal to Nebraska a long time ago. The fact is Nebraska can't offer what Iowa can. Fidone knows it, and that's why he is torn.
Btw, who is @FlickLikesBBC?
He's liked about every post in this thread. Do you have a secret admirer @FlickShagwell?

It's the Husker dork formerly known as H8FULLGR8, Rubrum_Vertus_etc., and most recently EloElHKBall. That's some fanbase they have in Lincoln...

And it's a shame the last two games were close. Iowa needs to not take their foot off the gas next year.

I am trying to remember an Iowa Tight End (that started at some point) that did not get a realistic shot on Sundays. Maybe Jake Duzey? Not very many, that is for sure. I realize that if you are good, the NFL will find you, but It is hard to ignore what Iowa does with 2,3 and occasional 4 star recruits.
Don't get why a kid like that wouldn't have an Iowa offer....
And why the hell would the goof troop think that is aimed at them? Lmao
Your probably right about that. However, I wonder if he pulls a fast one and decides to row the boat, since they have commit from Avante Dickerson from Omaha. I am not sure they are friends, but Fidone had the Fleck shirt on in his workout with Noah Fant picture. I doubt that, but stranger things have happened, and lord knows what Fleck would promise this kid. LOL I don't see the tug boat captian getting this kid though. LOL I actually have a gut feeling that Fidone will choose Iowa, otherwise he would be a Fusker by now. Maybe he knows where he needs to be, if so, I see a commit soon.....

In my completely biased and unprofessional gut feeling, the only school not named Nebraska Fidone will commit to is Iowa.
Just based on my gut I'd say over the past few weeks Fidone has shifted more favorably to Iowa. Nebraska just cannot offer him and his family what Iowa can. My guess would be it's now 55% Iowa, 45% Nebraska. As always, that can change.
But I am pretty certain the boat rowers still sit at 0%, cute shirt and all.
Yep, they are so ignorant, yet they don’t even realize it. Heard a joke the other day (that sadly may be true) - How can Nebraska football team avoid losing to Iowa for 6th consecutive season? A: Have season cancelled by the pandemic.
On 247 sports' website - Cooper D. was upgraded to a 4-star a couple weeks ago, now downgraded to a 3-star.
These analysts... I'll tell you what.

247 still has him rated as a 4 star. I believe you were probably looking at the 247 composite.
Wait, how? How do you really upgrade our down grade any of these kids while they aren't playing?
Minnesota didn't make his top 6.
Yes let me rephrase - his composite was 4-star. Now the composite is 3-star.
How does that happen?
I'm guessing it's because you're mistaken about him being a composite 4 star.
When his state of Iowa rank was upgraded to the #4 player, his composite was upgraded to 4-star.
There's no way I can prove it so I guess me pointing this out is 100% irrelevant. Moving on..
