Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
You said a majority of former players don't think Kirk is at fault. I'm not sure how you came up with that conclusion
Which players and parents? Lol because a lot of Iowa fans have been extremely particular in who is and who is not allowed to have a valid opinion.
All of them. I will say it is well documented that DJK has an axe to grind with Kirk. And it was brought to my attention by Cytwins that Akrum Wadley have character issues. But they all deserve to be heard.
I don't think one player has gone to that extent, not even DJK. DJK said he did not want to make the claim that Kirk was racist, however admitted Kirk helped create the culture to allow these things to happen as well as actively tried to dismiss the problems that came to him.
There certainly seems to have been issues between Kirk and DJK. The only thing I find interesting is why DJK would risk the reputation he's built and the new life / opportunities he has now to lie about what he said. Could he be stretching the truth some? Sure. However I think it'd be unwise at this time to throw everything he or even Akrum says out the window.
Getting close to the much anticipated announcement date for Ricky Parks. Stud RB out of Tampa and good friends with recent Iowa (re)commit Oladokun.
Offers include: Penn State, Florida State, Utah, Pitt, WVU, Louisville, Illinois, Kentucky, Purdue, Virginia, South Carolina.
Stiff competition, but I think Iowa has a good chance. What is the feeling over here?

I honestly had no clue his last name was misspelled lol. Looking at that roster list, he looks like he'd be a pretty good get.. I do have a question for those that follow recruiting more than I do. When you look at that list you see a bunch of schools that have 9 or less guys on their roster at that position, however Iowa's shows 14 RB's on the roster. Is that a typo or does Iowa actually have 14 RB's?
I agree. I am just stating the obvious. As an example the player that said Doyle told him to go back to the ghetto then changed his story to Doyle said he would send him back to his high school, Glenville. That is a huge difference. This is why it needs to be investigated before we start firing and labeling a coach a racist.
Hankins quoted that by saying the insinuation / undertone of the message was that he was sending him back to the ghetto, which from an outsiders perspective doesn't seem so bad, but I am not African American and I can't imagine being told something like that. It also is different when it's a white coach telling that to an African American you know? If a white dude was told he was going to get sent back to the farm, I can guarantee you that wouldn't raise many eyebrows.
