Our OL will be just fine without him. Already have recruits and freshmen that will fill out nicely.
BTW, how did that Harlan kid that went to Mizzou pan out?
From what I am hearing they are about to embark on a huge stadium upgrade and it will bring capacity to 83k
mark me down as one who doesn't "get" Mizzou. Crappy old stadium, Columbia is nothing special.
The guy is obviously an Iowa State fan so he hates Iowa but sees that Iowa State is a dead end so he ends up at Mizzou...oh well.
Iowa and Iowa State do a poor job of keeping the top talent kids in-state. Yes they get the "chip on the shoulder" kids but when these rare talent kids are in home state need to get them especially given the already difficulty in recruiting to Iowa/ISU.
This is another one of those mind boggling situations. Darboh to UM I get b/c they have produced a lot of great receivers, its a high profile program, etc. But for an OL out of central Iowa to go to mizzou makes no sense. Would love to hear his parents thoughts on this deal. Kid is going to go play for a coach that just got a DUI, going to play in a system that NFL scouts hate, going to play in a conference were they are going to get killed and going to play in a glorified HS stadium?
It is seriously a mystery unless he and his parents truly hate Iowa and ISU is clearly not a good option.
I am thinking the staff in IC stay on this one and maybe the light will turn on for this guy.
Yeah, to be fair.. there is no reason to stop going after this kid.
We will keep recruiting him if he says it's ok. If he tells Kurt and co. to stop, they will.
Could be fact that o coordinator likes to mellow out from time to time if you know what I mean. Coaching clinic witnessed him outside tokin up in between sessions, no joke.

I'm actually reading stuff on TOS that the staff possibly started backing off of him within the last couple of weeks.
