I understand what Iowa’s 247 guys think (that Iowa is the slight leader, as they always do), but he will be a Husker.

Yeah I'd love to land Fidone but I don't see it happening. The depth of young talent at TE on our roster is pretty sick... LaPorta. Miamen, Yelverton, Lachey. He'd probably step in on day 1 at Nebby and be the guy.
Just your hunch? Maybe you know him or something? I don't know the kid or his family but heard from someone who does that he is leaning Iowa. Not pretending it's a slam dunk or anything.
I've thought the same thing all along and just figured he was a total long shot.
Family friend who is tied with Lewis Central on the AAU side of basketball.
He’s a heavy Nebraska lean.
LaPorta looks like a good young player.
Tough to hang your hat on 3 others that have never played, especially thinking they’d be better than a borderline 5 star TE.
No. I think Iowa State gets Bollers and Fidone isn't staying in state. Throw on some film of Charlie Kolar though and see show him what one school is currently doing with a TE vs busting out old film of George Kittle lol
You could say the same about Fidone, couldn't you? I'd think the same principle would apply. Like I said I'd love to land him. But those other 3 guys had crazy offer lists themselves, and will have already had time in the system. Not saying it'd be impossible for TF to come in and emerge as a top guy early on, just saying it's not that likely, especially with LaPorta looking like the next Hockenson and so much young talent stacked behind him for the 2nd spot. TEs at Iowa also don't play until they can block to KF's standards. He kept CJF, an NFL-caliber TE, on the bench until he learned how to block. That's not going to happen at Nebby. The guy is a lifelong Husker fan, lives not far from Lincoln, and would have a much cleaner path to playing time. That's going to be tough for Iowa to beat.
Loved Hayden, but Evashevski has done two things no other Iowa coach has ever done. Win a rose bowl and a national title. That is the gold standard. I would put Hayden and Howard Jones either second or third with KF in fourth place.
Don't like facts I see. Our TE room was much better last year and will be again this year
LOL, ISU only had a "legit shot" at 2nd place before the season began and only in the minds of Clone fans.
Prohm replaced the best coach in ISU basketball history (no other ISU coach made 4 NCAA tournaments in a row, and 4 in their first 5 years coaching). Prohm had a couple good years with Fred's players, but has run the program into the ground after they left. It ain't easy following a legend.
No sure how you got there. Ferentz has done as well as the legend he took over for, that is hard to do. Prohm has shat the Hoiberg bed so to speak.
