In all the years I've followed recruiting, I can honestly say I've learned that two uncommitted recruits

talking about playing together rarely means they will actually play together.

Maybe so, and maybe my gut feeling is more that Fidone has blown up so much NU may have a hard time keeping him home rather rhan Iowa specifically.

I share that thought as well.  And yet, with what Iowa does with TE development, when you add Fidone's talent level, it's a no-brainer to go to Iowa.  I think it was last year they had two TE's go pro in the first round.

Obviously, we want him :bigredn:  but if their is any weight to their statement, what a great tandem for Iowa.  Personally, I really like Brody and he is very high on my board.

True, that was two years ago that two TEs went first round.  If I remember right, Fant ended up declaring early because he was somewhat upset with how they used him later in the year.  Last year, their TEs didn't do nearly as much, if I remember correctly.

Then you could make the argument of why would Brecht go to Iowa.  Been below average at that position for quite awhile and depending on personnel they may only have 1 or 2 WR on the field at a time.

No argument needs to be made.  It's Brody that chose his two teams he wanted to consider moving forward ... we aren't a team he wants to play for.  I can't argue for his reasons.  All that is possible now is for his potential commitment to Iowa to bode well to also draw Fidone.

I don't like it at all ... but ...

And...to look back farther.

The stats for last season don't probably compute to the norm for Iowa, but do for us.

Curious to ask what those stats are for 2018 when Iowa had Fant and the other stud?

Additionally, it doesn't really matter what I think, it's Iowa that has built itself into "TE U".  It's just years of proving their development.  At :bigredn:  we don't develop any position well presently to sell a recruit that we do "this position" well.

I added to my post above to add 2018.

It just show that there are many reasons to pick a school.  Relationships, proximity, scheme, family connection to school, coaches, facilities, etc. etc. etc.  Iowa has consistently produced good TE.  We have a wide open offense and a staff he seems to have solid relationships with.    I like our chances with Fidone.  I think we can do better than Brecht but liked him as a prospect too.  TE is a harder position to find than WR.

I think people are thinking about one magical year where they had two good TEs.

2016 Iowa TEs

32 Receptions

389 yards

5 TDs

2017 was the year Fant was a stud

56 receptions

840 yards

14 TDs

So, it seems like Iowa had one good year where they had two very talented TEs.  Other than that, they don't seem to have had amazing years from the position.
