Bill O'Brien, Penn State - ESPN

Yes! Thank you coach! Wonder if the Davis factor is in play here.
I am not saying there is anything wrong with it. But there are plenty of people on this board that think we are too classy, or whatever the proper word would be, to go after their players.When the coach of said team holds you up as doing the classy thing, that is enough for me.
My point on 2010 isn't that there were players available, only that I am not of the mindset that Iowa had the players and just underachieved. As soon as Gettis and MacMillan went down Iowa went into a tailspin.
Now, would there have been a JUCO guard that Iowa could have signed as depth in case one of the line starters went down? Maybe, but it is hard to tell in retrospect.
Now, I would say that they should have done something at LB. That spot was obviously thin and you could have promised a transfer that at least he would get ST reps and most likely game reps.
Wow! Just read on ESPN that six Illinois coaches are on Penn State's campus to recruit players.
My guess is that Iowa will see at least one player transfer or change their verbal and become a Hawk, only a guess but seems to be some smoke blowing in that direction in my mind.
I don't believe Ferentz would be one of the first reported to contact O'Brien directly about player/s if he hadn't already been approached by the player.

Another souce (SI.com) reports that many schools are pursuing PSU recruits now but very few have contacted O'Brien directly. I favor the Ferentz way in this particular case.
I agree about Ferentz not contacting unless they had heard from players. It really doesn't make sense to call and say anything if no players were interested.
I would wager that at least one player got word to Iowa that he was interested, and then Iowa was also interested in that player. otherwise Kirk would not have made the contact and just stayed out of this story entirely.
Also, ESPN is saying Illinois sent 6 assistants to Happy Valley to talk with PSU players. Unreal.

After reading threads regarding this topic over the past couple days I've come to the conclusion that there are several posters who will complain about anything regarding Ferentz. Cough cough CARRHawk... Cough cough THawk...
First he won't reach out to them and he sucks for that, now it's he didn't do it quick enough when you really have no idea what the timeline has been. Par for the course.

Oh. My. God.
It's pretty much mandatory to hate Illannoy. What dirt.
This is insane, and something that NCAA better fix next time. No reason for coaches to be there. Show some tact.

We have chosen to stay at Penn State and opposing coaches are outside our apartment, was that the intention of the NCAA? #comeonman
