An actual offer . . .

I know this has been out there on the web for quite a while, but I just got to it and find it interesting.

San Diego (Calif.) Scripps Ranch quarterback Tate Forcier has 30 scholarship offers on the table, according to Rivals.com. He has offers from every BCS conference. The Iowa Hawkeyes have also thrown their hat into the derby. (Edgar Cervantes and Ramon Ochoa, are they the last Hawkeyes recruited out of Califorina?)

Tate Forcier has had two brothers go through the process, Jason (Stanford) and Chris (UCLA). His trainer is Marv Marinovich, father of star-crossed Todd Marinovich.

Tate Forcier has a website, Link

The site is still a work in progress, but it has, in my opinion, an admirable theme, "helping upcoming prep stars and help promote local recruits."

The site is filled with QB-oriented links. But it also has a link to what the "official" offers look like.

Here is a link to Iowa's offer: Link

It's about what you'd expect from Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. No puffery, just pretty much the straight nuts and bolts.

I'm not sure where Iowa sits with Forcier. The field is deep and Iowa doesn't recruit California much if at all.

Iowa tries to find at least one QB a class. I'm sure that's the plan again this year.

I think my full ride letter was lost in the mail my senior year of high school.

Yeah, UW-Platteville and UW-Stevens Point waged a no holds barred recruiting battle over me.

I believe the letters started with "Dear occupant."
