Iowa Football Recruiting

CyTwins said:
Wow that's a long time ago. So King was the first captain demoted since Hyde when he got arrested? No wonder why my source said it was a pretty big issue

None of those guys got worked over by an FCS team either though. Just King.

From what I heard King should just be happy he is still on the team

The issue I was told had to do with the national anthem and apparently he got into it with a coach so at the time I wasn't wrong. Apparently he must have had an attitude adjustment or they just didn't want an injured Vandeberg as a captain

Your sources go into more specific details on the anthem?

Just an FYI on Calloway, since you guys seem to be so obsessed with this- Apparently a lot of him complaining that Iowa hasnt been contacting him is mostly b.s. On another premium site, people close to the program all were saying the same thing, that he has been contacted just as much as any other recruit. In fact, when the no contact period ended on Sept. 1st, Calloway was the first recruit Ferentz called. Think about it. Why in the world would Iowa stop talking to their 4 star CB with offers from everywhere, good grades, and is a good kid? Doesnt make sense. Sounds like the water is getting muddied, in regards to his recruitment. He has some uncles that are super close/big fans of Arkansas, and have been pushing him there. I dont necissarily mean that in a bag man way, just saying its gotten strange. Texas sounded like a major player for him too, but with Strong probably not making it through the season, who knows.

Bottom line, this may not all be his fault. Again, in reading what people with good connections were saying, it sounded like Chevin is getting pressure to go elsewhere, and is using the no contact thing as an excuse, and it sounds like Iowa is done with him, and going to move on. Its not an "Iowa arrogance" thing, but when you have a kid spreading things that arent necessarily true, and giving you the run around, it makes sense to just part ways. Dont get me wrong, this sucks. Its really does. Chevin is by far the best cornerback recruit of the Ferentz era. No question. However (looking at it through black and gold glasses), Iowa still has a pretty good track record of finding mid level DBs, and turning them into really good players (King, Hyde, Prater, etc.). This isnt sour grapes, but at least Chevin isnt some crazy 4 star WR, a position Iowa routinely is awful at, where he splits and leaves us with mediocre at best talent, and scrambling to find a decent pass catcher.

Still though, this sucks. Kids an absolute playmaker. And I dont blame him at all for wanting to look around, especially at top SEC schools, and other bluebloods. Just wished he wouldnt have used that excuse as a reason to do that. Sounds like bridges were burned.

Interesting....

Iowa cornerback Desmond King is friends with Lewis and graduated from East English Village Prep in Detroit with Hill. King acknowledges the call to action, but said he’s not a political person and doesn’t plan to join.

“I’m not too big on protesting,” King said. “I’m one of those guys who doesn’t like being in that. I saw one of my friends, Khalid Hill, and a couple of other guys put their fists up during the national anthem. A guy I know from Nebraska took a knee. I’m not big on that. That’s just me.”

What I was told it he wanted to do it and tried to get other players on board, the coaching staff said nobody is doing it and he got into it with one of the coaches. I'm assuming that had to have been written after his little tantrum because I don't think he would tell the media "I tried to get people to do it with me but Kirk won't let us even have Twitter so what do you think he said about this"
