VANCE: Nothing really. I had already visited the Iowa complex already. I had seen the majority of it already.
Q: What did the coaches say about you as a recruit?
VANCE: I talked to them a little bit. The majority of it was Coach Morgan talking about keeping my grades up and how good of a player I was. It was stuff like that.
