2019 Larry Tracy decommits from Iowa

Weak. Don't get folks that need attention all the time.
Um, if you were committed to a school you'd expect them to stay in touch, right? Must have been our way of subtly moving on for some reason.
Minnesota and Purdue both have offered recently, maybe he wants to play closer to home. Maybe he wants to visit and Iowa said no as long as he’s committed. Whatever it may be good luck to the young man and do what is best for you.
Seems odd he would publicly blame the staff, in order to stay on their good side.....
makes me wonder more about brents and johnson!
This should be a fun thread.
dont you have a gif for how fun this will be?
So you feel the adults on staff are not willing to honor their offer. Then to top it off they're too cowardly to even tell the kid?
I doubt it....
The new look profiles on Rivals have a decommitment tracker, so we've got that going for us now.

really like that new look. more info and good looking format.

So, serious question unfortunately, if he wants to recommit, will Kirk take him?
This is a case he felt like following his cousin wasn't sure so he decommitted.. it doesn't mean Iowa is out of the picture,just he wants to explore his options
Why can you decommit from the program to look at other schools then recommit, (even if somebody else has a chance to commit in their place) but if you look at other schools while committed, then your scholarship gets pulled and there’s no opportunity to recommit?
I’m not trying to make some “Anti-KF/Staff” point either. That just seems weird to me

he's not guaranteed anything right now
if someone better comes along, his offer will be worthless....
they will also work more recruiting his position now I'd assume
Have to agree with H4... very well said and I don’t think the staff should have to wait for someone who’s not sure even though he’s a youngster but if his heart isn’t with IOWA that’s his ordeal.. and maybe a good thing he did because we don’t need anymore half hearted Hawkeyes
This makes so much sense to me.
The fact that teenagers are involved makes this hardly simple, but a policy like this isn't hard to understand. We want you to wait until you're 100% committed and once that is demonstrated we are going to move around resources to make YOUR team better. Based on that commitment we're going to be calling you less and spending less time with guys at your position so there shouldn't be a need to talk to other schools.
He's doing the right thing. But now his spot will be open to other high school prospects. Iowa is getting a rep as a place to play db then get a pro opportunity,DBU. We have a lot of high quality young db's in the program and some very good prospects in the '18 class. Not worried about our secondary. If Tracy comes back then fine if not we can find another quality player.
What does word commitment mean?? Decommitting allows him to visit other schools because he is open and saying he decided too early. Kirk wants his players to be 100% sure when they commit. Kirk knows that 16-17 year olds will change their minds and sometimes change it often.
Hope that he explores all his options and then decides to re-commit to Iowa if they still have a slot available for him.
How do you know this is attention seeking vs being under 18 and wanting to make the right decision? This is more of a reflection of our visit policy while committed than anything.
It is still early in process and he still is very high on Iowa and is coming to Iowa's junior day on Michael Jordans birthday. I don't see this as Iowa is losing him until he says differently. He is only a junior. Id take visits also.
It could also have much to do with Brents, Johnson, and Craiddeth all committing after him.
Yes I don't see this as a big issue. Says more about his character that he's being upfront that he made a decision too quickly and respects the way that Iowa handles things and respects the staff enough to decommit before going on other visits. There are other guys who have done similar things (Fant perhaps?). I think Noah Shannon was back and forth a few times before making the call for Iowa. If he ends up coming to Iowa, great. If not, best of luck to him.
I'm glad my job doesn't depend on the decisions made by 17-18 year-old kids.
I wish the NCAA would make an exception that the coach's could comment on these types of situations.
A lot of these guys in situations such as these (not saying this is the case in this situation) are able to blame the staff for wanting to change their mind knowing they (coaching staffs) can't respond with what really went down.

Has anybody or anything said what you claim here? There has been plenty of examples of recommits.
What possible good could that do? Appease fanbases? How does that improve football, or the recruit's life or decision?
Wow, the person who wrote this doesn't think much of Iowa and apparently thinks Purdue is a football power now.
