Some more data for the hater(s) regarding Bitter. He's an athletic stud and that's purely data driven. The tweet indicates that he scored a 4.7 out of 5 using Tracking Football's algorithm. Read the link below the tweet to understand the process, but a 4.0 and above is considered "excellent".

Ah- it's okay to tease Iowa basketball relentlessly about their whiteness, but never one of our recruiting classes. Ok. My bad.
A ****-ton more great white football players than great white basketball players. Does that help?Ah- it's okay to tease Iowa basketball relentlessly about their whiteness, but never one of our recruiting classes. Ok. My bad.
Not that it matters.
You're right it doesn't. I like our class so far. Great first WR pickup. Really hoping to land some defensive line targets, though. We graduate a lot and Uwazarike may go early if he puts up big numbers.
I've done a few jobs over in Tampa near where he's from. Nice area.
Also, the #BeatIowa. Daddy like.

I'm just glad we are to a point as a program where we can just trust the staff on someone that may not hold other high-level offers. What used to be a "ugh, getting everyone else's scraps" is now an "awesome, our staff has identified someone before everyone else."
I think Campbell tries to get the guys that he likes right away, and then likes to invest his time on the higher ranked players that aren't typically committing early.
Get in and snag them before other P5’s do. They’ve hit on some really good players doing this.
Remember when everyone was making a big deal about Mike Rose only having a Ball State offer when he committed? Yeah, me too.
Not me. His tape showed everything.
I thought a lot of people felt this way.
The thing is, the guys who Campbell offers early who don’t commit blow up. Dontae Manning is one example. Visited several times, didn't commit, other teams noticed—and now he’s a highly ranked four star and committed to OU.
I still have no clue how Will McDonald didn’t have more offers.
Losing Uwazurike is a possibility, but I still like our young DE’s. It’s inside and long term that I’m looking for some commitments to patch up.
Looking forward to seeing what Aidan is like after some time in the weight room.
That's these recruiting services. The kind of kids that a lowly Iowa State program goes after don't get evaluated at all. But once a nationally-established well-regarded program led by a coach like Matt Campbell offers a kid, they take notice.
Wait, what did I just write?
And perhaps why these players are getting some nice 247 bumps once they get an ISU offer or they commit. I for one love the multi-sport kids...especially those that do events like the hurdles and jumps...speaks to agility and off the line speed.
And he still has senior track results yet to come, for a possible bump to 5.0.
Unless he enrolls early.
Wonder how Darien Porter fits on this?
Does anyone know if Aidan camped at ISU? Even for this coaching staff, finding unranked, diamond in the rough guys in the middle of Florida is pretty surprising. Love his tape though, just curious how the connection started.
