Iowa Football Recruiting

What do you think of the policy?

I completely, totally, and absolutely agree with the policy. If you take an official visit you’re not committed. I’m also ok if a kid says to Iowa, I want to commit, but if Iowa State offers I’m going to visit. If Iowa says ok, that’s fine as well. Iowa may say, let us know when you’re solid with us. Hope we still have a spot.

There’s obviously always exceptions, like Last year with the kid from Ohio. He asked, Iowa said yes, he stayed committed. That’s fine too.

Understand your logic.
 
My proposal. You can transfer once in your college career without penalty, as long as you don’t do it in season. If you transfer in June you don’t have to sit out. In September you couldn’t play until the next season.

Open signing period. A kid can sign when he’s 14 if he wants to. The school has to honor the scholarship no matter what. If it turns out the kid isn’t a player you still have him on your roster for four years. The kid can get out of the LOI for any reason without penalty, but it counts as his transfer.

I'm good with the first paragraph, but not the second paragraph.
 
Because ISU was drug into this whole recruiting thing from Brian Ferentz. And for the record, Campbell isn't insecure about kids committing to ISU and taking other visits. Zach Twedt being a prime example.

You mean when Campbell was throwing out offers left and right and rescinding them later? That is what Brian was talking about. Same with Minnesota.

Never happened. What DID happen was he ended up asking a committed kid to use a grayshirt instead of an immediate scholarship. The horror. I know.

I want to make sure I have this right. First Campbell told the kid he had a scholarship and then told him to walk on or wait a semester but Brain F was being mean and unfair when he called that out?

Ok
 
Do you guys have a copy of the offer letter from ISU? The Iowa letter is clear that if you don’t continue to perform athletically, you could lose the scholarship. Does yours say that?

Ok

Brian was being holier than thou with his comments. Paint Iowa like they're saints when offering scholarships which is hardly the case.
