I've always thought Iose would end up playing inside a lot, just like Golston and VanNess.

As for Stecker, I imagine he knows he can play WR for a Dakota school, but suspects TE is inevitable at Iowa. Does he want to get the hands dirty and go through the Iowa grind? He looks like Hockenson did with the high point catches in a crowd, but clearly faster. 38" vertical. Maybe not quite the Hock frame. Maybe they'd go the Beyer route of playing him at WR in year one. Conversely, it sounds like they want to start Woods out at TE and maybe try receiver if that looks more promising. I guess he could be a TE that is out wide a lot, a la Zach Derby (but hopefully won't make nolook cry).

The twin (Ethan) is apparently going to be tried at safety at ISU. He'd be a big 'un at 6-4. He supposedly has a bit more top end speed than Dylan, while Dylan had twice as many receptions (59, 1200+ yds) and presumably the better ball skills.

I watched roughly 90 seconds of his highlight video and I’m a little shocked Iowa didn’t offer him a scholarship.

You can already see the NFL tight end he could become. He also has the athleticism to be a very solid receiver.

I'm probably wrong as can be, but Stecker's video highlights look way better to me than Terrence Smith's, the scholarship kid. Woods' highlights also look better. Then again, I thought Dominique Douglas had about the worst highlights I'd seen.

We need guys with ball skills at WR and it seems like we're moving in the right direction. Outside of our TEs, we had zero guys who could consistently make the contested catch.

I’d be happy with WRs that occasionally get separation. We can worry about contested catches later

I really didn't realize having WRs who can catch was that important.

The QB throwing to Stecker moves better and throws on the run better than anyone fat Brian recruited.

Important to keep in mind the level of competition each of these guys is facing.

seems a large number 1-A 2-A in state recruits couldn’t have been any worse than what he and his sidekick Bud chose to bring in

Yeah, definitely. But he definitely looks faster and is bigger. And the overall measurables are impressive. Generally, innate ball skills and good measurables have worked out pretty well for Iowa, regardless of HS competition.
