Recruiting plane
- Thread starter sogocat

Two of them were mentioned today that brought Orr up from Florida and will take him back. Sukup is one. Can't remember the other. Seems like a stretch for those to be used for recruiting IMO.
Edit: Second plane that will transport Orr is the Baker family.

Guess I really don't understand the extreme need when its cheaper to buy a ticket for em to get here. I personally think you can use the money elsewhere that is more needing.
It is quite common to take a connecting flight to get somewhere. I know what you meant by that since you are talking about private planes.
I highly HIGHLY doubt they use private planes to fly on recruiting trips. That being said I don't know if or how much the university uses their plane. I have never seen one registered to ISU pop up on flightaware. If we are blocking our university plane on flightaware I guess they really don't want us to know where we are going.
There were numerous games of Kiah Stokes that could look at the Eastern Iowa Airport (Cedar Rapids) on flightaware and see several planes registered to universities that were transporting their coaches back and forth so they could be at practice go see her play then fly right back. That being said I didn't ever really see any for the coaches coming to see Harrison play.

Auburn had a nice looking plane they flew Chizik outta Ames on.
And ISU's got taken off flightaware during the Chizik coaching search IIRC.

That was an interesting part of The Pony Express (ESPN 30/30 on SMU). It described how, using alumni private planes, Ron Meyer went to thirty something Texas high school games in 1979, iirc.
Since Meyer was trying to lock up the state of Texas it made a lot of sense. CPR recruits from CA, Texas, Fla, and into the rust belt and we don't really need a plane for Iowa.
