...) ... Lots of things are going through your mind when you are that age. The bottomline is it did not work out. Both parties have moved on ... And so honestly, it really is not worth trying to look too much into a brief comment he may have made on his Facebook page ... or Twitter, etc. I think as fans we sometimes get caught up in the words and actions of "kids" ... (Apologies for any fans in their 20s becaus ethey are more like peers to you) ... But for older fans (I am in my early 40s) ... I try not to decipher what an 18 year is saying on his Facebook page or Twitter account.
I think Hawkeye27's comment about him disappearing from class pretty much tells the story, of course maybe he had already made up his mind by then. I also don't think his comment here was particularly negative toward Iowa. It really doesn't make much sense. If you are handed everything you need to succeed, why do you lose your work ethic? Good lord, they had him back ready to play football several weeks after what was supposed to be a season ending injury.
so it sounds like sour grapes and possibly self-motivation. I wish this kid had kept his head on straight at IA cause watching his vids are impressive to say the least. My hope for him is he grows up and uses his god-given potential to the fullest. After the last few years I now understand why the NCAA did not let freshman play back in the day, many simply are mature enough to handle what comes with it, and looking back If I would have been so talented I probably would have stubbed my toe as well.
