what's been said in the past is that if there is open communications then ok. when you say one thing and do another, or don't say anything at all - i think that leads to frowns.

Exactly what Ankle said... Fant is from Omaha he's a Nebraska kid... He's already been on their main radio sports station and told Nebby thanks but no thanks. In a public here's Lucy pulling the football away from you kind of way. I don't think that the way their season has gone that they are any closer to luring him.. I'm not too worried about it. But crazier things have happened.....

Obvious he is dating Iowa until his dream team knocks on his door

Probably not the smartest kid if he decides to go to Minny over us. It would be one thing if he were from Minny, but he isn't. Yank his offer.

Maybe Iowa told him they aren't closing any doors with other recruits as well

Exactly. There may very well be a couple that are told, "Thanks, but no thanks" for a variety of reasons. Taking visits without telling staff, character issues that come to light, actual criminal charges or an obvious lack of effort on the field senior year.
The door swings both ways.
I'm sure Iowa already has some Plan B's and C's in effect for several positions. It would be a very unusual recruiting year if we don't lose or gain from a flip or two from this point forward. Since only the staff really knows what's going on with Fant I would be cautious of being too critical at this stage.

Move on ... get the big kid out of SD
Too much "look at me" with Fant

Perhaps Fant made it clear up front to Iowa that he was still going to take some official visits after announcing to the Hawks. But if that is the case I think Iowa made it clear of their position with the recent offer to Beyer. Looks like Fant has done little in the 3 months that have passed since giving a verbal to Iowa. Now he decides in the 7th inning of the recruiting process that he wants to take all his remaining allowed visits.
Heck wouldn't surprise me if he ends up back where he started with Nebraska.

Just saw Fant scheduled a visit to Minnesota next weekend...
Heard all week from Gopher fans he is their #1 target?
As an Omaha resident, it's my understanding that Fant hasn't taken all of his official visits yet. So that doesn't surprise me. Still would be surprised if he changed his commitment to Minnesota of all places this late in the game.
But if he's Minnesota's #1 target then they're probably going all in on him. Hope he doesn't get swayed

Agree, until they sign the LOI nothing would surprise me, but out of any school in the conference not Minnesota... Their fan base looks for any tiny victory in anything and will talk about it for the next 20 years.
Agreed, I'd honestly be more annoyed if he ditched us for Minnesota than if left for Nebraska. Because I've kind of prepared myself for the NE possibility already. But I don't think either happen.
Just.....Minnesota??? Really??
