ESPN has Iowa's Recruiting Class Ranked 9th in the Big 10

I see where your going with that and it's logical. It's what I think the staff shoots for as far as the types of kids they go after. Granted they aren't wasting much time/resources on the 5 star kids in GA and FL that Iowa has no chance at getting. But should Iowa be able to get/hold on to 4 star level kids from Texas? (with a bunch of the Texas schools down) I think that's not unrealistic. Until the rug was pulled out from the class due to only the coaches own fault Iowa was on pace to have a top 30 class. Maybe even 25ish. I blame the coaches in the sense that kids are going to be kids. They change their minds with however the wind blows sometimes. AJ Epenesa as good as he is was such an outlier in that he committed early and that was that. I felt the communication angle between the coaches and recruits clearly needs to be revisited. Between Eno saying he 'didn't know' about the no visit policy (I don't buy that at any point after he'd committed let alone even before that) and the assistants not relaying information back to KF that they knew about Eno taking other visits, That's on KF and him alone. He has to shore up how everything is communicated and make sure his coaches are doing things on the up and up. Buck stops with him. I expect that the 'no visit' policy will be revisited and greatly relaxed if not done away with. I mean the black eye that it's given us will only be used against us going forward. Plus he can't be seen as giving one kid the freedom to do it and not another regardless of star count. So why put yourself in that position? Iowa has recruiting enough recruiting disadvantages as it is to add any to it is just not a smart thing to be doing.

Uhhhhh..... Vandeberg was injured in the Rutgers game, the game before 1. Northwestern (which may have been a determining factor in the loss). By the way, Matt's fiance is HOT!!! Laura Bulanda

I know this is getting off the subject, but I never made the connection before that MVB's finance is "THE" Laura that does all the Hawkeye videos on facebook. Looks like MVB got himself a trophy wife at 22 years old and with no money down.

When you are the same age, and have no money, it ain't no trophy wife. That is just being a baller.

Good. Let's hope we never hear about either of them again. Good riddance

I don't think it's fair to lump them into the same category. One is someone we can replace who could use some guidance. The other is at a position of need who went about the process in the right way.

We will have to agree to disagree. OM, Eno both not Hawks so could care less about either, regardless of how they handl d the process. At least we knew we weren't getting Eno two months ago.

What did Martin owe us? The only time a future player is in control is during the recruiting process. Why put our needs before his own? Certainly no one on this board operates like that in real life.
