Scout.com: BBQ Review

This was a good idea...great way for verbals and other recruits to deepen their tie to Iowa, and to one anther.

I question why this is the first time something like this has been done.

Great idea to do this! Jeff Jones deciding to come back for the game against penn state is huge! These events could really pay off in the future.

Okay, so which guys on the all night smoke thread were in on this? If none of them were, that is a major fail.

I wasn't. But then I sure as hades ain't going to invite them down here to Austin where 1 or 2 might get poached by the longhorns.

This may put a damper on Biels' "Flip to Wisconsin! We're still here in your ear and in your pants while Iowa isn't kissing your a$$ enough now that you've verballed!" tactic...

I think this is a great idea as well, and like another poster said above, why haven't we been doing this before?

We haven't had 15 commits by 8/1 before...ever...

So that's probably why. We need these additional recruiting activities to solidify their commitment.

Exactly Norwalk...reinforcing to these kids what a family atmosphere it is at Iowa can be nothing but a good thing.

Good idea, and curious why it hasn't been done before. Did this come from Greg Davis?

Either Davis or the 2 new guys, would be my guess.

This must have to do with the amount of verbals they have this early otherwise a BBQ could backfire on you.
