Ben Skowronek to Decide Today

[AdamHawk]

Evidently he will be deciding between Iowa, Northwestern, Indiana and Purdue at 4pm.

Don't like our chances too much on this.

 

[Stanzi]

247 has us as "warmer", Northwestern as "warm", and everyone else as "cool".

 

[Stanzi]

On the other hand his most recent visit was to Northwestern. It's a pretty sad indictment of our program if we can't out-recruit Northwestern.

 

[thetrza]

"Im taking my talents to South Beach" kinda deal?

 

[Tierney]

He committed to Northwestern.

^Must've been their unequaled facilities and hordes of fans.

Kind of all you need to know about Iowa Football.

I see this as a non-issue. It will only give another MAC type player the opportunity to experience our world class facilities instead of Akon's.

The 2016 class will be another MAC class ranked in the 60s in the nation (12th in Big 10). Kirk's staff can't recruit at a big ten level.

Link?

Young man chose the coach & staff farthest from hot seat status.........among other things.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

Chose a school that probably uses WR's more effectively than Iowa. If we don't end up landing a WR that has more talent and potential this this kid (3*) then it's another miss. But, we brought in a few WR's in the class. Maybe he saw a full cupboard?

 

[WildTurkey]

What a thread. So many toolbags on this forum now. I feel sorry for your wives/boyfriends

 

[Hawknick]

Very poor decision on his part. Iowa will get someone better though while he is a bust with the garbage mildcat team. Iowa has a lot of offers to other young athletes that will have the ability to make better choices.

 

[koralakers]

basically knew we had ZERO chance when his final choices DIDN'T include Akron, Miami (OH), etc.

Dude, we don't even win those battles anymore. Heck, we lose to MAC schools (on and off the field) and even Villanova (FCS)

Here's a question. If you are realistic about your chances of playing professional football, and will most likely have to fall back on your education to make a living, would you rather have a degree from Northwestern or a degree from Iowa? As much as I love Iowa, I do realize the value of a Northwestern degree and don't blame the kid at all.

Ferentz gave out 4 instate rides today. Best offer of any of the 4 was Western Michigan

Yep. I'm sure the kid would never even be able to land a job if he just had a degree from Iowa.
