I'm well aware that they had offers out to probably a dozen or so WRs. They've gotten 3 to commit 2 fairly recently. And yes Iowa obviously prioritized them over Martin hence the offers. But where I disagree with you is where he burst on the scene late. He had a great junior year of film. He plays for IC. Iowa knew all about him back then. Had been in touch with him just hadn't offered. I think they were well aware of how good he was even before some of his camp performances. I think they were trying to be judicious because he didn't have other offers. They figured they had him in their pocket in case they struck out with most of their offer list. (lets face it Iowas track record with recruiting WRs isn't that great) Hence he's the definition of a fall back recruit. But since like you said the camp circuit he's the hottest rising WR recruit out there which forced Iowa's hand. Iowa I think would have always ended up offering him. If not a grey shirt like Vandeberg at the least. But they would have liked to have done it much closer to signing day then now hoping to have more time recruiting some of the others they had higher on their list till now. Iowa when they are aware of talent they like are usually all over them.I don't agree with this at all. Iowa had offers out to a bunch of highly talented WR's that they thought they had legit chances of landing. Some of them they did land and others they didn't. Oliver burst on the scene late in the game after Iowa already had a bunch of offers out to other WR's. Oliver had zero P5 offers until recently when he really started getting noticed at various camps.
Kids are kids. Maybe he perceives it as a slight and goes to a different school and maybe he goes to Iowa to live out his childhood dream. It could go either way but to blame Iowa or KF for not immediately jumping in with an offer when they were days/weeks away from other targets announcing their school would have been silly IMO.
Take Stanley last year. They got in on him really early and got an absolute steal of a kid away from Wisconsin. You see Wisky fans may look at what happened with his recruitment much the same way Iowa might with Martin if he were to go somewhere else... The biggest difference is Stanley once having committed I don't think really bounced around the camp circuit to enhance his 'brand' for a lack of a better word. I think he stayed pretty local and on the down low. He committed in June I believe very shortly after Iowa offered. I think if Iowa had offered Martin in the spring he'd have already committed. I could be wrong about that and we'll probably never know...
