I've heard there might be an offer out to Linn-Mar OL David Parry, but I think Iowa's recruiting might be over with the number being 20 scholarships and five walk-ons. Also, there is one accepted grayshirt and another one out there. They would count for 2011.
Here are Iowa's 20 scholarship commitments. The national signing period begins Feb. 3.
