Another victim of the Zook mindwarp.

It depends on what position Kirby wants to play.
Coach Vic Koennig's D will seem pretty attractive to a lot of recruits.
Oddly enough, quite apart from being a starter as a rookie ... Spievey's move from CB to safety possibly hurt Iowa's chances for some guys who want to be a NFL CB.
Recruits already knew that Iowa was excellent at developing safeties ... however, Iowa's rep at CB development could have used Spievey sticking at CB.
Anyhow, Iowa will simply have to go out and recruit guys who project ambiguously at DB and simply trying to develop them like we did with Bradley ... who is the lone guy who has stuck at CB.

I know recruits wouldn't see it this way, but I don't think it's a slight against our player development that our corners move to safety in the NFL. Our corners, particularly recently, have been taller players. Tall corners in college typically don't have the necessary fluidity in their hips to turn and run with NFL receivers, so they get moved to safety. Fletcher has done a terrific job at corner for the Rams, but even he is there out of necessity. He could be an even better safety.
Champaign-Urbana is the worst "big-time" college town that I have ever been to and I have been to a lot. What a horrible place to spend 4 years. I would rather do time in Leavenworth than go to school there.
I don't care where the guy ends up and such but it wasn't very classy how he plastered that crap about IC on his facebook page. He's getting a trip on the university's tab, the least he could do is be gracious to his hosts.
If Iowa City is boring, I'd like to know that kid's impression of fun. It sure as heck isn't Champaign. If he has his mind made up, he shouldn't have even come to IC!
You had him visit on 12/17. That is the week after finals week, when all the students have scattered home for Christmas. How is boring not a good term? That has to be the worst week to bring in a recruit. Unless they were going to go to Iowa all along, you are not going to sway a kid on that weekend.Per the rivals ticker. Since Iowa is boring and all.
