We don't actually strive to be better than any of those two programs, so the shoe fits.

Regardless of where they're from, or whether they know Eno, I doubt if any commit / recruit hears the news and likes iowa more as a result.
This year has provided lots of "won't exactly help recruiting" moments.
All the more reason to take a tough stance on commits. How dare anybody have second thoughts!

Only KF could manage to take the momentum from an undefeated, Top 5, Rose Bowl season with tons of recruiting momentum and lay an absolute turd both on and off the field the following year. He is the most inconsistent coach in all of college football, who does JUST ENOUGH here and there to garner add'l extensions.

So these two kids are saying they are staying... just like Eno did up until yesterday.
So yeah, what they say doesn't mean sh*t.

I highly doubt that.

Pretty much!
Reading the tea leaves in the quotes from those two, I'm going to guess we lose both of them along with the rest of the Texas contingent. Good job KF, way to let stubbornness and pride kill a perfectly good recruiting class. Only you could manage to do that on the heels of a 12-0 season....
What's stopping schools from offering now? Happens all the time

"Would" Rob? How about "will"?
How do you know they are off the market???
Especially after this Eno thing.
I mean, you sound like these guys are guaranteed.

Why do you think market is closed?
Look, let me get this straight.
We cannot hold Kirk accontable for win loss records.
We cannot hold Kirk accontable for offensive production.
We can't old Kirk accountable for defensive production.
We can't old Kirk accountable for recruiting.
What can we hold him accountable for as a coach?

Exactly this. Kids still get recruited in football regardless if they are committed or not

Nobody has thanked Rob for his hard work. Sincerely, you do a lot and this website is better than Hawkeyereport and Hawkeyeinsider.
Now here's a little excerpt from Kakert's message board.

That front page article is crazy. No offense to Tom Kakert or the Iowa Rivals staff, but wow. Made Eno out to be a liar, not trustworthy, covering up, etc.
Is this stuff for real? Why should a recruit feel like they have done a terrible thing by going on visits in the first place? It's 2016 and that's recruiting suicide. Just openly and publically committing recruiting suicide with that ancient, very myopic policy AND THEN having the balls to blame a teenager for "covering up" and being "untrustworthy" and "paying the consequences" for being normal? That's stunning.
It's 2016 and you let them take visits. That way, you can also make sure the recruit has looked around and is positive in his decision. You don't want guys who have buyers remorse once they get to school because of a stupid policy. So dumb.
Tom Kakert believes in Kirk's no visit policy. It's like a marriage, apparently. Are we married or just holding hands? he says. Iowa's staff doesn't want to be left scrambling if the kid flips....what?! That's why if you have a staff who can recruit and isn't lazy, you keep recruiting kids 24/7, whether they're a verbal commitment or not. You have plans B, C and D ready to go in any scenario.
That is one of the most ludicrous articles I've ever read on Rivals. It's as if Iowa's staff and the Iowa Rivals staff are completely unaware of how big boy recruiting is conducted these days. No clue. Very sad to read.

Chevin used to have "Iowa Commit" in his Twitter profile page. He also used to have his Iowa commitment statement pinned to Twitter. Those are gone so he's gonna be #2 that jumps ship. Although we pretty much knew that given Eno's scholarship was pulled due to visits.
