Agreed. It's Dane Cook level "joke" for maximum suckage.

Do you have the source? Not doubting you, just curious to read?

I don't think Iowa has the standing in the college football world to tell recruits that your offer will be pulled if you visit another school. That's Alabama or Ohio State level of arrogance, not Iowa level.
In an ideal world, that would be a nice, righteous place to be. But, last time I looked, the real world doesn't operate like the ideal world. Furthermore, as others have pointed out, Iowa doesn't exactly play by the same rules - they're more than willing to keep going after recruits who have "committed" to other schools.

You're the one that sounds like a drama queen primadonna.Calloway retweeted the below:
These kids playing ball nowadays are jokes. I just have to shake my head and chuckle
If Calloway is this much of a drama queen primadonna it's probably for the best anyway.

When you give someone a lifetime contract, you get to see who they really are. Saint Kirk was never real.
What's the end game of this rule? To scare committed players into coming to Iowa unhappy and second guessing? Or to scare players into never committing at all? Eno did our class a lot of good by committing early and leading the way for others. Is it really in our best interest to tell him "even tho you feel certain about it now, don't commit now and make our class look good. Instead wait until signing day where we will still be holding a spot for you anyway because you're that good".
Realistically, how much better of a runningback will we be able to get anyway if we start looking now instead of 3 months from now? Is that slight upgrade worth volunterilly changing the chances of signing Eno from 50% or whatever, to 0%? If we want to keep the girlfriend analogy going, that's like dumping the love of your life and never talking to her again because it's possible she might break your heart later.

Knowing his thought process on game day strategy, is it a surprise that he thinks this gives his team the best chance of winning with recruiting strategy?
