Ohio RB Todd Sibley “Slightly Interested” in Iowa

This is a strawman you're making. If Narduzzi pulls his offer if he visits, that would be on par with Kirk. You're ridiculous attempt at making a point fails.

Iowa didn't pull Eno's offer after he visited Missouri, why would Narduzzi pull Shelby's offer for visiting Iowa?

Why? It is exactly what you said about KF, that he should allow other visits, that his policies are "Draconian".

Comparing Sibley to Eno for one and I missed where anyone said KF should encourage committed to recruits to visit other schools

Kirk doesn't always pull offers for recruits that visit other schools. Stealth visits however...

I'm not aware of KF ever pulling an offer for a kid who visits another school. He didn't do that with Hidgon, or with Eno. Can someone name the last recruit who got his offer pulled for visiting another school? Maybe Rob would remember when this last happened.

Not convinced we KNOW that's what happened but for everyone who wants to say "Why did Eno lie to Kirk?" I would say "Why did Eno feel like he couldn't tell Kirk the truth?" Its honestly a little like parenting. After a certain age if your kid lies to you about important things, you need to look in the mirror.

Calloway? Some would say Eno

Calloway's offer got pulled? Source on this? Calloway certainly hasn't made this claim.

Isn't that what you and everyone else has been saying? I personally think Eno and Calloway's offer got pulled but I don't know for sure. I don't think pulling either of their offers was justified though

Rob has certainly alluded to the fact that Eno's offer was pulled, even though he's never said it outright because he may never get direct confirmation.
Eno has done the same when asked if he'd be considering Iowa moving forward, "that's up to them".

Calloway moved on, and did so awhile ago. The staff certainly didn't pull his offer though.

I think the offer was pulled, but not after the Missouri visit, maybe not even after the ASU visit. It is unclear when it was pulled, but it was, and it is unclear as to why. Yet the evidence shows pretty conclusively that 1 visit certainly didn't get an offer pulled in the Hidgon and Eno examples.

I find this extremely hypocritical.
There's been several national articles that have pointed out how 'outdated' our recruiting is. Along with that, Calloway has eluded to the fact that he became interested in other schools primarily because the Iowa coaches stopped communicating with him once he committed.
I'm beyond tired of Kirk bringing up a 'good story' in press conferences (walk on making an impact), when we're reminded we're playing walk on's to begin with because of lazy, outdated recruiting techniques and coaching philosophies while Kirk recites his 'feel good story' he's said all to often over the course of a 6-6, 7-5 season.

Iowa coaches appear to be overpaid and lazy. Nothing changes from week to week. Teams have very little to prepare for when they play us. We run the same crap, regardless. Now we find out our coaches do not even follow up with their recruits after they commit? If true, that is totally unacceptable. I would have gotten one of my coaches an apartment in Texas to make sure these kids knew how badly they were wanted and needed at Iowa.

I'm not so sure. You agree that Eno's offer was pulled. If Calloway can't even get the Iowa coaching staff to call him back for several weeks, Eno probably wouldn't learn his offer had been pulled until several weeks had passed and he'd already visited ASU.
Either way, it's not a good look.
