Lattimore, Beyer Offers Show Silly Season Has Hit Iowa

Iowa has been on both ends of this before. Didn't Iowa try and get Lazard to flip the last week or so leading up to his signing day and that's what got Rhoads all fired up? It is what it is nothing new here really. Till the good ole fax comes through you just don't know what'll happen.

Except Ferentz called Lazard and, according to an SI article, called Ezekiel Elliott after he committed to tOSU. Or someone at the behest of Ferentz did so.
There's no honor in recruiting by anyone it sounds like, including us.

KF has stated that he thinks it is ok to call a recruit who has committed - but if he tells you that he isn't open to that phone call, he will stop or no longer do so.
Paw says something completely the opposite and was grandstanding, at best, at his 'recruiting' coup.......over the 'hoks'....
Thats crazy how after all those press conferences like the Jake Campos one then the Lazard one the next year, the Texas officiating meltdown presser a year earlier. Thats a lot of press conferences for one guy in the past couple years that we still remember, what happened to Rhoads anyway where is he going now?
That's it. It takes two to have a phone call. If the kid isn't open to it then that's it that's all. It's a door that swings both ways. And it's just the system in which all schools have to play by. This isn't really even a gray area to me. Till the fax goes through a kid isn't officially a part of the team and is open to be recruited or even dropped. Iowa had that QB in Illinois that was committed a couple years ago for quite awhile but then like part way or after his senior season (in which he changed High schools) he stunk it up Iowa yanked his offer. I thought it was weird that Iowa had 3 qbs on the hook and was hoping one of those 3 would have opened themselves back up(maybe Iowa did too) but since none did and he was the bottom of the heap as far as a prospect goes they yanked his. I'm sure his family wasn't too happy with that but hey since coaches/programs can do that all the way up to signing day then kids can change their minds up to signing day too. Just is what it is.

I don't see a problem here, recruiting is a sales job and if sales people accepted the line "we are with someone else" as an excuse to stop pursing them then chances are they are not very successful. If you think the Hawkeye coaching staff should maintain some "holier than thou" approach to recruiting then they also probably won't be very successful. They are fair game until they sign on the dotted line.
