Big recruiting weekend .

Field of Dreams?​

by William Kristol

Iowa City, Iowa
I’m not, you’ll be shocked to hear, a Midwesterner. I grew up in New York City, went to school in Boston, taught in Philadelphia and then in Boston, and moved to Washington in 1985. That was supposed to be for a year. It’s now stretched to four decades. So I’ve spent my entire life among the huddled masses in teeming East Coast cities. And I’ve enjoyed it.

But I do try occasionally to venture out of the Acela corridor to see what’s up in the rest of America. And so I’m writing from Iowa City, where I spoke at the University of Iowa last night. It’s different out here! Farms and prairies, to say nothing of amber waves of grain! And friendly people! Amazing! If a bit disorienting

Found the above on The Bulwark

Hot Damn, I grew up in Philadelphia and my Dad grew up in West Newton Massachusetts .a suburb of
Boston, but I am 100% Iowan, Hawkeye Iowan
 
Any details of his visit Saturday. I was trying to listen to Condon who was interviewing Eckhart & they mentioned somebody cancelled their visit but I didn't catch who. Was it Caden or someone after Caden's visit?

Daughtry probably is a pipe-dream, but if we somehow make it work, wow. He arguably is the best BB player recruit we've ever had on campus. That's not hyperbole. His game reminds me a lot of Allen Iverson, for those of us old enough to remember.

Ohhhhh Nooooooo, not "AI" .......... sorry couldn't resist that one.

Doesn't Daughtry have a campus visit soon?

He committed to Ohio State

The "good news" he was referring to is the thought that Davis cancelled his visit after finding out that Cayden Daughtry has decided on Iowa behind the scenes.

Highly improbable, but putting that positive spin on it nevertheless is soooo tempting. Kind of like buying that lottery ticket:)

They're cousins to his dad. Not sure if that makes them second cousins then?

If they are first cousins to his dad, then he would be a first cousin, once removed. If Jones and and BB have kids, those kids would be his second cousins.
 
I'll preface this by saying I don't think he ends up here. The national consensus seems to be that he's going to Miami.

However...

Run BMC is a different animal.

1) I don't think BMC is the type of coach who would waste time and money on someone he thought had a less than 25% chance of committing. There's too much to get done in the recruiting season and not enough time to get it done.

2) I also don't think he'd waste his time with the type of recruit who'd yank his chain and string him along. I do think BMC has the ability to see through that type of kid.

Ironically, I heard that his favorite group is Aerosmith...
