From ESPN evaluation:

This is one of the more fundamentally sound pocket passers this class has to offer. Rudock is a late bloomer in terms of frame development at this stage, but he has the height coaches covet and he is extremely productive.

Gonna be a Hawkeye.

Maybe we can still get him into Boulder for a visit. The Flatirons worked their magic on dad maybe they can work on Jake.
