Howe's tweet about Orloff

[cobri66]

"Several sources telling me that #Iowa verbal Mike Orloff @mOrloff7 visiting #UCLA this weekend"

 

[Travisam]

Later Mike.

 

[PJHawk]

With a week to go UCLA has only nine commits so look for Neuheisel to open up the checkbook to get some more players committed.

If he did that means Ferentz pulls offer?..can't remember how this works

 

[ctbond]

What position did he project at?

Ferentz doesn't usually pull offers in these situations as long as the recruits are upfront with him.

cool..hope he was upfront then

This is strange, Marcus Grant is one of his best friends....unless they have had a major falling out, I am guessing that this report means very little as to his commitment to the Hawks.

Well it certainly does, if "committed" why keep looking around? In the world of recruiting, the word "commitment" has certainly developed a new definition.

 

[Raziel]

Yeah, so long as Orloff was up front with KF about it....he is allowed to go....if he went without informing KF, Mike Orloff will not be in IC this fall.

 

[greghammel]

It may have a lot more to do with numbers. With Alston already signed and Coe signed and most likely moving to OLB, and Spears on board at MLB... perhaps Orloff feels there will be no playing time?

i would be very hesitant to go to UCLA right now. don't think slick rick will be there another year if he keeps losing like he has.

Hell, even when he wins he doesn't stick around for long

 

[ISUhawk]

Idk if I agree with the coe moving to OLB. From what everyone has said, we don't force people to change positions and the biggest reason he came to Iowa is b/c he can play rb here. But I guess if he decides to move cool, but I like him at rb. He is another coker!!

 

[Mac50702]

Maybe the kid needs a vacation. I mean it i s California compared to december in the NE

 

[ColumbusHawk]

Probably nothing to it. I know that if someone offered me a free trip to sunny, southern California during the last weekend in January, I'd accept. Kirk probably told him he would be a fool not to go.

A mountain out of a mole hill & another typical knee jerk reaction.

I hope so...Orloff has star-potential. One of the most dominating vids I have seen from a recruit at iowa.

Oh I fully agree with w/you too ISUhawk about not forcing someone to change to a different position. It appears Coe is the real deal in either of those positions. I am just "exercising" a full roster based off recruits alone. Wether he ends up at OLB or RB during practice is something that will be figured out. Very, very nice to have him on board!

And you always want to have some talented Iowa athletes on board... keeps the heartbeat of the team ticking. Just means he will have to work hard and make the others work hard to earn playing time. I hope he sticks to it.

a coach telling a verbally committed prospect to take an official to another school a few days before signing day? Lol.....very unlikely.....
