With the offer of Josh Oglesby and some of the backlash that has come with it I must offer my take on it because he hasn't pledged to Iowa yet.
Look, there have been good arguments that say he has not gotten the relationship with the new staff yet and that is very fair. The other schools have been recruiting him for over a year.
Keep this in mind too, how long has he held the Iowa offer, a week? He has held offers from some other schools for months and close to a year with some.
The fact that Josh has not committed anywhere is a great sign to me. I do expect him in the end to come to Iowa, but he does have to find out what the current staff is about and maybe he waits until next spring to decide.
I like that Iowa was his favorite team growing up, but when it comes to making 'life' choices, dreams and favorite team cannot come between what is best for you life long term and if he decides it is at Iowa so be it, if not, so be it, I will root for him to do well in his career.
I still cannot get over how the Iowa fans booed Bohannon and if Oglesby goes to Minnesota or Illinois, it will be classless to boo him as well.
