It's official now

I've read your game day thread posts. I'm surprised you haven't run out on I-80 yet because you're so inconsolably pissed off. You'd probably be happier "following the decommits" too. Should we go together?

And you're happy when Iowa performs badly because that's what makes cyfans happy and defines your season.

Kurt now can go to the Solon-Mt Vernon metro plex recruiting hotbed area and get that 1 star guy now.....Yes

And still make it home in time for dinner. How nice.

Wow. Such butt hurt.

You can call me a d-bag all you want, but I have no idea where you're getting the Cyclone troll thing. You've mentioned it 4 times referring to me and I can't stand 'em. I also don't believe I've ever once been on that site or mentioned them here. You must have some sort of obsession with the topic. Anyway, keep up the game thread shit posting. It's good stuff.

Ignoring a recruit after he committed backfired. That's surprising

Are you sure that happened? I do not have any inside info.So what is to think.WINNING WOULD HAVE HELPED MUCH.SOCIAL MEDIA IN THAT SITUATION IS TOXIC.STAFF DOES NEEDS TO BE ON TOES WITH SOCIAL MEDIA.MUCH MU CH UNKNOWN.BUT FOR SURE SOCIAL M. MUST BE WATCHED IN ADVANCE!

Hmm...that's number 5 ISU reference. Do you have some weird thing from your childhood you're suppressing? Maybe your priest was a cyclone fan? Only thing thing that makes sense.

Either way no big deal, see you tonight in the Michigan game thread shit talking the Hawks.

 

[docholihawk]

Woof.

 

[proudhawkfan21]

So glad that these two recent never were hawks didn't get a chance to enjoy a great hawkeye victory tonight. Black and Gold. These colors don't run. Go Hawks!!!

I'm not buying the done deal thing. I could be wrong but unless Iowa does something miraculous I think he'll get much more attractive offers elsewhere from much more stable programs. It'd be naive to think that other coaches aren't going to jump all over this year's shit show of a season. We would do the same thing to other schools' recruits.

I think when it comes time to sign his name logic and reason are going to win out and I hope he makes the best choice for his future, not what his father (who is wooed by KF and staff) wants. Dad is getting his second 15 minutes of fame so of course he's going to have Hawkeye-colored glasses on. For those of you who have bought into AJ's Twitter feed just remember that Benjamin and and Calloway were both "all about the Hawks" too until the shit hit the fan and reality set in.

As far as being able to play earlier here...hmmmmm...

Develop for a year under Saban/Harbaugh/Meyer's coaching staff, or let Phil Parker send you on an unwinnable kamikaze mission as a freshman? I think I know which one I'd opt for. Epenesa would face the same problem Desmond has this year. He's the only legit threat on a bush league defense so he's getting shut down because teams can afford to. Most of the best players in the NFL weren't four year starters. The argument that playing earlier is by itself somehow going to improve his chances going pro is crazy.

He's had his pick of the litter for like over a year now right? Has he been shopping himself around on visits? I haven't heard of him doing so. If he has he's done a better job of keeping it on the down low than Eno and Chevin did. Look those reasons you gave are legit. It'd probably be a combination of those if he were to jump ship. I just have the opposite way of looking at it. I think he's a lock to sign. I think I know what you meant by program being 'stable' But I'd say Iowa is as stable as it gets with the coaching staff being locked in. Anything short of something like what happened at PSU or Baylor is what it'd take for KF to get pushed out in the next couple years. If Iowa keeps the wins at 6 or over going forward he'll be around that contract is just too one sided to say otherwise. He and his dad are as close to KF as can be and I can't see him jumping ship between now and Feb I just can't.. So we'll see.

Using Kakert & Rivals as a source of facts is like using Snopes as a source of facts. Both are extremely biased.
Kakert and his staff should be ashamed for defaming a high school kid over a rumor.
