Iowa is rolling on the recruiting trail right now. Love Brecht’s size and he seems to run pretty well.

Felt like we were in the drivers seat for him. That's awesome. Didn't put out a tweet showing himself running a 4.45 40? For a 6'4 205 plus WR that's sick. Feels like a kid that if he did all the big camps in the south he'd be a 4 star highly recruited fought over talent. Now that he's locked in I have no problem keeping that on the down low. Keep em coming.

I'd say more Brandon Smith type.
That makes 8 out of the top 10 Iowa kids in the fold to be Hawkeyes.... Since the Bollers kid won't be coming that pretty much just leaves the Fidone TE kid left. I'm not sure what's more impressive. The fact there's that many kids up for grabs in state but the fact there's so many that are that dang good too. I mean they are all high D1 level talent worthy of being fought over. Iowa is killing it absolutely killing it. KF has this train rolling

Best recruiting on paper, maybe ever. 2005 was great on stars and paper(but for various reasons fizzled), this "feels" better though. Somebody on the recruiting staff is doing very well.
Time will tell, but I'm optimistic.

Long strider but when he gets clear and out in the open look out. He gone.
This kid seems to have pick em up and lay em down speed to him. Neither of those two did. They used their size to get open in the Big 12. But neither ever out ran anyone to get open. Similar size and playing the same HS level competition though.
I found it interesting that he was running free behind the D so many times in his highlights. Wouldn't think you'd see that at the 4A level so much. Maybe he's just that good....
8 out of 10 in what may end up being the most talented Iowa HS class ever, with a ton of cumulative offers like you said.
Please tell them to stop Rob, we are getting tired of all the winning.

Another really nice in-state recruiting win. Man, if they pull down the Fidone kid...yahtzee!
It's too bad Fidone grew up watching the Big Red. That's a tough thing to overcome when Scott Frost is stringing together 4 and 5 win seasons. I mean...there is a good chance that Nebraska beats Iowa at some point while Fidone is there.
Mr. Fidone...this is me reasoning with you to come to Iowa where two tight ends went in the first round of the NFL Draft last year. That doesn't happen very often...wait...it had never happened. They are reasons why a former Iowa TE is now the best TE in the NFL. The foundation is strong at Iowa.

Last I heard/read, Fidone was a pretty strong Nebraska lean, but with his recent tweets supporting the new commits, it makes you wonder if he's coming back around our way again. The positive vibe surrounding the class and upsurge in commits certainly can't hurt.

Iowa State about to go 0/10 on the top 10 instate kids this year. Swung by CF to read some fun. Most are disappointed in the recruiting efforts, some attribute it to these kids growing up Iowa fans, and then CyTwins is rambling on about how Brock Purdy is the #3 QB in the mock drafts behind Lawrence and Fields.
Edit. Zack Twedt who we flipped from ISU would be their top recruit right now per 247. He’s our 11th rated recruit right now.

It sounds like he is fairly close with Keagon Johnson, who some are speculating is an Iowa lean now, despite him being a Husker legacy. Some Nebby fans feel if Johnson goes to Iowa that’s the nail in the coffin for their chances with Fidone. Who knows though.
He ran a hand timed 4.45 40 the other day. He's got wheels for sure.This kid seems to have pick em up and lay em down speed to him. Neither of those two did.
