his quote about barnett is pasted below, i’m now curious about what barnett could’ve meant?Story by @Eliot Clough
Some excerpts:
"Iowa was one of the first schools to start recruiting me. I met Seth Wallace a long time ago -- around my sophomore year. I built a really good relationship with him along with Coach (George) Barnett. When I finally earned it and got the offer, it felt really good -- especially in person and getting to shake Coach (Kirk) Ferentz's hand. It was a special moment."
"Coach Barnett is a really genuine guy," he said. "If he feels a way about you or your game, he'll tell you. We have a good connection. It's a me-and-him relationship, and it's been built up through a year-long process."
"Coaches are the biggest factor in my decision," McCaslin added. "I do believe Coach Barnett will be there. He's an Iowa offensive line coach. He told me there aren't a lot of places that would take him because of the way he recruits and teaches -- he teaches Iowa football."
Go Iowa Awesome - COMMIT: 2024 Three-Star OT Bodey McCaslin Picks Iowa
Bodey McCaslin, 2024 three-star OT from St. Charles, Illinois announced his commitment to Iowa Wednesday.
It's an odd quote that caught my eye also, certainly not flattering on first impression. I just assumed that McCaslin was trying to pay him a compliment (i,e, "old school" coach) but it came out wrong.
We are talking about a quote from a teenager ... right? Such folks aren't always the clearest of communicators.
I’m wondering how many OL they take this year. I’d guess 5 since they only had 3 last after “redacted 2” bolted two days before signing day.
