He may or may not get a NU offer - he then may go to NU or Iowa.  But the above seems a little over the top. It seems like the idea is to offer anybody that is leaning towards a BIG school that may have the ability to torch us.  How many scholarships do we get each year?

Letting a homegrown kid go to Iowa that wants to be N is different than a kid going to Iowa from Illinois who kills us every year. Especially when he is better than 1 of your already committed TEs.

Sure, but we have three “homegrown” kids at the TE position. Essentially you’re saying that the talent evaluation of the coaching staff is poor if they take Rollins over Carnie and that they need to be replaced because of that lack of talent judgement. But isn’t that always the case that the coaches job security is based on good talent evaluation? Can you imagine if we had the in state talent of Texas of Florida. We’d have to let really good in state kids go

to rival schools every year.

Except that we don’t have that luxury. No need for made up scenarios. I would also take Iowa’s judgement any day of the week on a TE prospect over Beckton and Frost. If he was that good then Iowa would have offered Rollins. Luckily Fidone is so good that it could negate whatever loss Carnie may potentially bring. Our TE room has been bottom of the barrel in the Big ten. Hoping for Vokolek to shine because Stoll, Allen, and Rafdal ain’t cutting it so far.

Everything you just stated is true - but very different then the earlier post.

Lots of good in this post. 0nly thing that may be a factor is that rollins could have not shown interest towards Iowa hence no offer - don't know if its the case and don't know where iowa would have put them on their board if true.

Carnie would run through every wall between Norris and Memorial Stadium to wear the N. 

Rollins would be on the basketball court if given the choice.

Teach is probably going through withdrawals from no gamedays in Lnk.

Rollins was quoted previously saying Iowa was an offer he really wants. 

 
He talked to Beckton yesterday as they do most Sundays.  Beckton told him he will be a topic of discussion when Beckton meets with Frost this week to decide what they want to do.  He said numbers are tight - especially with two TEs already committed - but we aslo don't have a lot of TEs on the roster.  Carnie seems to be favoring playing TE so bringing him in with the chance to play defense doesn't seem as appealing.

With Iowa offering and sounding like Kansas State may be right on their heels, we probably need to go for it or the ship might sail.
