Official yet?
Official...with a fake to the Iowa hat to boot.
Well, consider what Oregon does with it's offensive weapons, and what Iowa does with ours. He probably figured he could get better numbers out there than he would have here, and he wouldn't have been mistaken.
Also, I don't know what kind of person French is, but perhaps he was scared off by the dynamics between DJK and Ferentz?
Oregon has eight 4* recruits and two of them are from or currently live in IA (French and Ebert). Iowa currently has three 4* recruits and only one of them is from Iowa.
Oregon currently has two TEs on their entire roster and nobody in their recruiting class other than French. Iowa has seven TEs on our roster - only one SR - and already has another 4* TE coming in this class. Derby, Herman & Fiedorowicz would more than likely be ahead of this kid on the charts if he were to come to Iowa.
Oregon's TE (Paulson) caught 21 balls for 370 yards and 4 TDs this year. Iowa's TE (Reisner) caught 39 balls 410 yards and 2 TDs.
The facilities between the two schools don't even compare.
