From what I've read it was this. He really liked the entire coaching staff.

There is a lot to unpack. One thing I find super interesting is that Iowa approached him about reclassifying. While I am not sure how I...

I think a lot of what helped Iowa get him was that he reclassified for 2025 and Iowa had an open spot for him, where the other teams...

This is where I land. It almost sounds like he did not want to reclassify, it was presented to him by Iowa, and he did so because he...
