You can spin it many ways but the fact is he had committed to the program and to the team, he was therefore a member of the team. I don't care if all the papers had been signed or not, he was a member of the team when it happened. Spinning things like that only lead to complacency or an era of ambiguity, that won't be what happens at Iowa State going forward.
That won't happen here going forward? My god, we better only recruit Mormons.
Blanket statements like that only make people look silly.
