Chris, any members of the Iowa coaching staff there today?
And am I gathering that the high school association put Roy at a table on the floor?
I did not see anyone from Iowa there, but that does not mean they weren't there. Ben Jacobson was there, and I never saw him either.
As for how Roy got to the seat right next to me, I have no idea. I do know that the head of the IAHSAA, Bud Legg, was not happy about it. He actually came over to me and asked if "Roy came in with me?"
I, of course, said "no." Haha.
But apparently one security guy told Roy he could not come down to the floor level, but another overruled him. Coaches are not supposed to be on the floor though.
I actually had a chance to talk to Roy quite a bit today as we were both just enjoying the game.
He asked me "Where Oglesby ended up signing?"
I told him Iowa, and I asked him about Fran, and how he thinks Fran will do.
He said, "Well, I think he will be OK, but it is hard to turn a program around these days because as a first-year coach you have to really start with the sophomore class or below because kids are committing so much earlier these days."
I said, so you're saying Fran never had a chance with Paige?
He answered, "No, not at all."
He went on to tell me all about how Marcus will fit their style of play perfectly, and everything. He would not go "on record" saying this stuff, because he can't. But we talked about a lot of different things.
Overall, he was a nice guy.
And thanks to all the new followers I have. Hope you guys enjoyed the tweets. I try to stay on top of it! OK, back to writing my Hoover story...
