Roy went all out the day before Adam called Fran to inform him of his decision.....

"Williams, accompanied by assistant coach Steve Robinson, pulled out all the stops, from displaying his 2009 NCAA championship ring to playing a highlight video from North Carolina’s 2010-11 season."

"In addition to rings and a highlight video, Williams pulled out folders of other schools recruiting Woodbury — including Iowa and Iowa State — to show how they stacked up with North Carolina for the entire college experience."

Jay Bilas sums it up very nicely.....

“It sends a message to other recruits in your area that, ‘Geez, a big-time recruit chose Iowa over North Carolina,’ †ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas said. “It opens your eyes a little bit, and makes an impact.â€

Adam definitely has his heart in the right place.....

"Woodbury knows his decision appears flawed to some, skipping an elite program for one that is rebuilding."


“Those schools had to work their way up to get to that level,†Woodbury said. “I want to be one of the guys that brings Iowa to that level. You can put an imprint on the history of the program that way.â€

This kind of ****** me off. Not that Roy's presence in the state doesn't already **** me off a bit.

Not a huge deal, but I'm guessing Adam probably has a better idea of what the entire college experience at Iowa is than Captain Mcpowderblueballs does.

Elite programs can play this card & they should. They have earned the right. Iowa would do the same.

Do you have a problem with Iowa football recruiters showing a recruit competing schools & saying "You have a _% chance of getting to the NFL going to Iowa compared to these other schools" or "The top 3 schools getting players to the NFL are USC, Ohio St & Iowa".

It's all part of the game.

Melrose, I agree completely. I have no doubt that Iowa has, or would do this. It just really irritates me coming from Roy. It probably wouldn't coming from most other elite programs. His "Ah Shucks" attitude, when from all accounts, he is fully aware of some of dirty stuff he has pulled in the past, ticks me off. Oh well.

Yea, I see where you are coming from.
 




I really think Roy's heart is going to be fine. He is going to sign 4 guys ranked above Adam this year, and will do the same the next year.

Actually Johnson, James, and Tokoto are all ranked below Adam.
Only Paige is higher than Woody.

This is the mindset you need from a top-flight player. Some (most) players want the established, comfortable thing. It takes guys willing to take the unbeaten path. I applaud Woodbury for taking the path less traveled, especially since it is to the benefit of the Hawks.
 




The best part of that story is Fran just sat down and watched monday night football and ate pizza while Roy was doing all that crap.

Absolutely, Adam's lifelong love for the Hawks, courtesy of his family trumped all else. It took a lot of courage to pick the Hawks.....

Thanks for the video, Stormin, and yes I am getting excited about the future of the program. Fran seems to have things back on track.....
