Keller Commits

The fact that Campbell wanted him speaks well of Keller. If we want a recruit I want to get him. If we beat the team out east for him great. If not, no worries. This staff has proven they can find talent others miss on (Montgomery, Rose, McDonald, etc.). I am not as worried about the offer list as I have been in the past.
It speaks more for Keller that Texas wanted him.
The recruits we pursue are going to move up the rankings simply because when you find success other schools take notice and are going to rethink how they judge potential recruits.
THIS. We don't need Ferentz to scout talent for us for God's sake. and staff have proven their ability to identify talent to a degree that should satisfy ISU fans. IF you are an "ISU fan" who prefers the scouting of the cud-chewer and company then I submit you are not an ISU fan at all.
It’s not the fact that Texas has produced tight end talent or not. It’s the fact that freaking blue blood Texas reached out all the way to middle of nowhere Wisconsin to offer.
Iowa offers kids from Wisconsin at the drop of a hat. And, shockingly enough, they actually have scholarship tight ends that don’t pan out.
I'm saying I trust Iowa's evaluation of a tight end more than I do Texas. Definitely agree that it's eye opening if Texas reaches all the way to Wisconsin to offer a player. You are right on about that.
I would take our coaches wanting him over anything that happens from the has been hicks..
Looking ahead to 2022, we'll have Dean, Hanika, Moore and Rus (strictly an F) Any input as to which of our recruits would have the best shot of playing as a true freshman?
Yes but I don’t know time frame. I was told by a recruits dad the kids have a group chat where they share with each other first. They must be staggering their announcements.
I am going to assume you flunked out of the hok school of trolling because this attempt would embarrass even the ripest of hok trolls.
Much more a function of each programs offensive scheme than the ability to find talent. Texas has not struggled recruiting talent in any case, they just wasted it.
You think Iowa is unique in this? Iowa State takes its time before offering as well. They have to talk to the kid several times, establish a rapport with him, talk to his coaches and teachers, review his film, and after all that is done, they get together as a coaching staff and they all have to agree that this is a kid who fits our program before they will extend an offer. It has to be unanimous among the staff before the offer is extended. We've heard several recruits say as much. Iowa is unique, only in that they work slowly to do this. Our staff is relentless in recruiting. It takes up the majority of their work week, by far.
