I have no idea what Swenson makes but my kid had him for PE so I can confirm at least that much.

I'm curious why do you "usually" disagree with Rittenberg? Granted, he's CFB's version of John Clayton--guys who couldn't look more unassuming as football experts. They look like they should be analyzing corporate balance sheets rather than athletes. But he seems to have access to good info as one of ESPN's B1G guys.

That's a pretty solid list. Watkins is a great PR story. Scott is a bull in the LeShun Daniels mold. Wilkinson's old man is Dan "Big Daddy" Wilkinson, overall #1 draft choice out of OSU in 1994 and plays for a program that cranks out D-I recruits. Bertke was all-state D-VI as a defensive back. D-VI is the smallest class in the state but his team's conference is uber-competitive and cranks out about as many D-I recruits as the entire state of Iowa. His team won the D-VI state title and another school in its conference won D-V. Ethan Wolf plays in the same conference. Cage is a moose, plays for a solid program in Cincinnati, as does Bere. Henderson fared well at last summer's Nike Combine in Columbus against 2013 OL prospects. He's got a long, lanky frame, long stride, nice burst but needs to add weight. These are all highly publicized recruits. Iowa should take a swing at them but so will a lot of other schools. Here are a few less publicized prospects:
