Steve Wiltfong of 247sports.com is reporting that Coe will NOT take official visits until after his high school season is complete. Edwardsville's regular season ends October 22, but if they make the IHSAA playoffs (they are 2-3 right now), their season could extend until as late as Thanksgiving weekend.

Rodney Coe Update
 
Has anyone ever stopped and thought about how odd it is that grown adults are posting excitement over some HS kid might be coming to visit and attempting to track their every move? Borderline insane and creepy.
 
Per Tweet by 34LUVS2RUN "I am coming to visit fellas... getting my Hawk on!" Followed up with comments about how he loves the college town atmosphere and has a cousin who played on the football team a few years ago. YEE HAA... I bet he signs!

It effects what is on the field that 70,000 people show up to see every fall saturday, some people think its crazy to spend your saturday off watching football, to each their own.

Or spending time on a message board, reading an article someone has no interest in, then comment on frustration with others interest in the topic, some people may think that is insane.

If you care for something else, may you should visit the dancing with the stars message forum.
 
I don't watch that, but a couple of GROWN MEN in my shop do, and talk about it somedays. They too have no idea how foolish it sounds when they say "Do you think Jimmy did his best last night?" "No, he is doing Julie no favors... I did like the matching outfits though, and how the judge said blah blah blah."

I just don't think the 70,000 people in attendance are going to stop showing up if Coe doesn't play... yet alone visits. I could even understand if the post had information besides...
"Steve Wiltfong of 247sports.com is reporting that Coe will NOT take official visits until after his high school season is complete."
Perhaps that does change the mood of people? Did it make you happy or sad to know this? I am not certain it is worth a report by Steve Wiltfong of 247sports.com? What other news did this guy dig up for his website?
I am certain I am not the only person who finds this report to be odd. BTW, his team is 2-3 right now... I wonder what he ate for supper tonight? Does he own a moped?
Just take a time out from your thinking you know everything about a high school kid who may or may not visit Iowa and I think you would agree it is not that important. I guess I just trust the coaching staff to do the recruiting and realize that they don't require our blessing or care for our input. Would you recognize Rodney Coe if he walked into your office? Would you ask him for an autograph? If he comes to Iowa... great! If not... so be it. There is nothing to get too worked up about here.
 
So we aren't allowed to talk about recruiting? And we aren't allowed to talk about DWTS? What ARE we allowed to talk about?

Edit: Also, why are you assuming that everyone on this site is both grown and a man?
 
Apparently you care about Rodney Coe as you have now opened the thread and are continuing to show us your massive intelligence as to how grown men should spend their time. This thread could be a Coker-like thread

Oh, don't get me wrong here. First... I don't pretend to be highly intelligent because I am just an overachieving mental midget. Secondly, I am guilty of being ridiculous about college recruiting too. It is just when I stop to think about it once in a while I realize how ridiculous it is. When you are looking at charts some fans slap together, visiting recruiting websites and their ratings. Thinking... oh heck, this kid plays right up the road and I should go watch one of his games so I can see him play first hand and report to people on here what I thought. I don't think my life is boring, as a matter of fact... I work full time, take college courses, and stay freaking busy. But I always find time for hawkeyenation, espn, and facebook.

Nope... I am just as creepy as the others posting here I guess.

You didn't answer my question. If it is creepy to follow recruiting, what should I spend my time doing?
 
But C'mon... the main point was that particular report from Steve Wiltfong of 247sports.com was borderline not reportable. From the Subject line I was expecting to find out what game this kid was going to be watching while visiting, and what other teams he was going to visit... not a "he ain't doing nothing till his HS football days are over with because his 2-3 team may be playing until Thanksgiving"

That isn't news, that is just reporting there is no news. Maybe Coe told that to him to get the creepy adult guy to quit stalking him around and asking him questions daily?

Actually it is news, when you consider if he doesn't come til after Thanksgiving the only game he'd see is, uh none. That's kind of a big deal when the Kinnick atmosphere is awesome and recruits love it.

As Ricky Stanzi said "If you dont love it, leave it!"

Dont knock what other people want to chat about on here. If you dont want to talk about what might be instore for the Hawks then dont. Dont tell people they are creepy. You have no say. You are borderline Dbag when you sit on a high horse talking down about what people/fellow Hawk fans want to talk about. If you dont agree with what I have to say come visit me in the Coker thread. As for everyone else please proceed to talk, go watch, or research any recruit you want.

Stupid question, A tweet from Coe? Who was the relative?
Lastly ,COME ON UP BIG GUY, KF WILL MAKE YOU A PRO SOMEWHERE!
 
Yeah your point may be valid, and can see where your coming from but your talking to the wrong crowd. This is like going down to a tattoo parlor and asking, "whats the big deal about people inking themselves, do your customers not know its permanent" or asking a smoker, "don't you know that's not good for you?", its a point you make to someone not favoring that specific interest.

But as for the question before, yes you can't talk about dancing with the stars.

I also agree, it is a big deal for Rodney to miss out on going to Kinnick stadium during a live game as Iowa has a lot to compete against with Arkansas and Auburn looking out him. Our fan support is one of iowa's larger sell, hopefully Robinson keeps racking up yards to impress other top recruits how well we run the ball.
 
You didn't answer my question. If it is creepy to follow recruiting, what should I spend my time doing?

If you want to spend your time following recruiting... do so. It is creepy though. My top Non-creepy things to do:
Yard work, watch football, play basketball, go to the gym... just don't be THAT guy, watch baseball, play softball, Madden Superstars on facebook is fun and kind of gay... but not creepy, watch the "Man With No Name" Trilogy and top it off with "The Outlaw Josey Wales". Take an online college course, walk your dog, post a list of non-creepy things to do on a hawkeyenation.com thread, buy P90X... turn it into P22D, because after 22 days of that garbage you are Done (not Xtreme), what was I thinking about buying that anyway? Download your favorite music to your Ipod or Zune and make a good dozen to work out too. Make us all happy by making a cool Hawkeye highlight video set to a cool song. Figure out who was the last Iowa high school baller won a NCAA Basketball National Championship. Visit Ed Horton's facebook site and realize your life is pretty dang good and feel sorry for him for just a bit (well, kinda creepy) Visit Isis Love's facebook site and say "Dang, why ain't we recruiting her for something, anything?" Go to the local casino and proudly slap a $20 on Red 23 and act like you know it is going to hit (this calls for the table to be stopped and wait on security). Get a good steak while you are there. Check out the Asian chicks in tight leather working the joint... nevermind-kinda creepy! Watch Tosh.0 he is creepy, but you aren't for recognizing that. South Park usually is on before or after it. Grab some old pictures you have stored in boxes and place them into picture books. Scan the cool ones and post them on facebook... tag your friends so they can comment on how freaking dumb you are to still have the evidence of such a time. Drink a bunch of beer, heck mix some Captain and Coke, look at BWW website and see what the deal for the night is and call friends to meet you there (make sure you have a DD). Watch the Hawkeye Moped video on Youtube... never gets old. Make coffee, eat a donut, move the poptarts in the office snack bar around from one box to the other as they are not individually marked. Watch creepy DWTS people expecting to get a Strawberry get Chocolate Milkshake instead. Laugh. Smoke. Non-Concur with the next email that asks for your to concur and work hard to come up with an actual reason that everyone would agree with. Buy foam objects for office that you can randomly throw at neighboring offices when you are stressed. Wash, wax, and clean the inside of your truck. Go on a Wikipedia trip with whatever you wondered about... the making of ebay is a great one to start with. Get hunting tags, kill something, drive to local bar, show off dead animal, clean it, eat it, offer some to DWTS viewers at work and watch them turn into Oprah. Read GOLF magazine while using office bathroom since that is the only magazine in there EVER! Talk a good game about how nobody in the office can beat you at Wallyball, play and win at Wallyball, call co-workers and ask them if they are alright after beating them so badly and if they need counseling there is a suicide hotline that you could look the number up for. Laugh at the Vikings. Laugh at Iowa State, wonder why the Cyclones use a Cardinal... look it up on wikipedia. Wonder why anyone would cheer for the Cyclones. Wonder why the Cubs suck so bad and write a post rationalizing that they have been to the playoffs X amount of times in your life and that if it wasn't for Dusty breaking the arms off Wood and Prior they would have been great. Read the back of all the products you use for a while... be amazed how far away the stuff you eat comes from. Volunteer to be the MC for your the Holiday Party... spend hours creating punked out lines for co-workers and call it CHRISTMAS PARTY all night on the mic by "accident". I don't know, there is so much non-creepy things to do!

Seems like you have so many important things to do. How do you have time to A: write this list B: talk down to what others do C: Be on HN D: be a dbag that has creepy things in his/hers list.
 
I have not talked down to what others do, I was just stating it is creepy, which it is. Heck, I have included myself in this recruiting news gathering. I wouldn't call it being a dbag, perhaps nerdy, but dbag is a tad over the line for the conversation.

You have talked down about it. Saying its creepy...what, how? This is big money. If you want to talk about investments. What colleges spend on football and other sports. Do you think the NFL draft is creepy because its college kids? Dont try to act like you didnt make a dumb post. This may not be your thing but to talk down to people because its not your cup of tea. You have these players and coaches posting on many sites like youtube and rivals to get these players a look and you say its creepy. This is what these athletes want, they want colleges and fans to create a buzz about them to improve their stock. You should stop. You know what you said was very dbaggish.
