I was told it by a friend and YeahBuddy (previous poster on here who got banned from trolling) has a premium account on HR confirmed it. They said he was walk on and was just awarded the scholarship for just the one season and lost it this summer but never said why
The best high school talent is usually linemen. Iowa develops linemen. That's really the difference in recruiting and wins and losses. (along with a softer schedule)
Sooo some anonymous guy says he heard it from another anonymous guy who got banned who heard it on another message board.... Sounds legit.

Blair Sanderson said it. He's not anonymous
I don't care who said it it's just stupid. I just checked and he started all last year. He was listed as a starter on their post season depth chart (whatever the hell that is). He was listed as the starter in their spring depth chart. He was listed as a starter in their fall camp depth chart. He started the first two games of the season. Now I have no idea how good he is relative to other safeties in the B12. I DO know you dont go from starter on 10/17 to starter in 1/18 to starter in 04/18 to losing your scholarship in 06/18 and back to starter 08/18 and through the first two games.
That's just dumb. Football doesn't work that way.
LOL. They were going to pull a scholarship from a starting safety who has been a multiple All Academic Big Ten and has won awards for his leadership. But instead he's playing almost every snap.
He was listed as the backup behind Snyder but yes Blair Sanderson said he would not be on scholarship in June for this upcoming season. Shortly after, a player transferred and they announced he would indeed stay on scholarship. I know someone who is friends with the family and Gervase was 100% told he would not be on scholarship this upcoming season in early June unless something changed. He's still on scholarship so I'm not sure why it even matters
I have two sets of sources, Blair Sanderson being one. Not sure why Iowa fans would question Blair Sanderson but OK
Notice I said "good hires". No matter your "program label" it doesn't really dispute my main point. Bruce left for Ohio State. Majors left for Pitt. It's generally accepted that Campbell will be moving on at some point. When we've had good coaches, albeit rare, there hasn't been enough infrastructure or support from the university. That's the biggest difference between the ISU I grew up with and the ISU today.
So what was your point again?
June 9th, 2018. Just emailed my buddy who has a premium account on HR and this is word for word what Sanderson said:
I've heard Jake Gervase will NOT be on scholarship this fall. https://iowa.rivals.com/news/fb-scholarship-distribution-chart
June 12th, 2018 after some kid transferred. Word for word what Sanderson said:
Now I'm told this morning Gervase is absolutely on scholarship for this year.

Nobody cares what minute, semantic battle you're having with the Hawkeye trolls. Ever. Nobody ever cares. Stop flooding the board with BS.
The one area where the culture still has to change with this football team is the OL. I still feel that many of these guys seem to be intimidated by many of the defenses we face. High snaps in key situations, false starts at critical times. They need to be the ones to dictate the flow. When it is 3rd or 4th and 1, they need to tell CMC that they want a run play called because they will guarantee a first down & go out and do it. Hopefully the OL coaching will result in increased ability and then the kicka$$ mentality will follow, jmho.
I know someone who is pretty close with Jake's family and what I'm saying is 100% accurate and not trolling
