Don't confuse some posters with logic. They prefer to have narratives.
and in Georgia there is a Wadley Clone that is going to make some people happy just in time for 4th of July. So why worry about Brock and Hall since those ships seem to have sailed.
I must say I have seen and participated in some seriously dumb arguments on here but this is the first time I have ever seen a mod call someone out. Ratbird is some kind of special.
Loved reading this whole thread. Love all the ‘authority’ and in-the-know folks. I only believe reliable sources.
They said they would take first of the 2 that verballed, they valued both but could only take one. Brock dragged his feet and now have a 2/3 chance to not make a bowl game his entire career. What are the coaches supposed to do? I know they are up front because I’ve had several kids in the same situation- with recruiting so fast now a days you have to pull the trigger when you know. Nebraska has 400 offers Out for 2019 compared to Iowa’s 140......come on now, which off the 2 programs would you trust more if offered
this year the ships are limited and they are on a 1st to commit basis. when a coach like KF does not sign 25 players every year then cull them like some coaches do.
this class might have 16-17 depending on couple players. RB Akinrabi may not be able to play again and would be eligible for a medical hardship to get his degree, then their are those that get their degree and either leave as a GT or hang up the cleats,
Iowa was/is only taking 2 RB's this year and they have them, Brock just waited to long and is the odd man out, old saying [one bird in your hands is worth 2 in a bush].

What? No.
I've interviewed Jirehl Brock and talked to him specifically about this topic. Have you?
You joined today, this afternoon in fact. What was your former user name?
You also spelled banned wrong. Nowledge U English major?
So are you, ratbird! A record for creating a new acct after being banned.
Because the whole Iowa board would have to be banned.
Please, your trolling the wrong board Ratstuff. Its been KF's mode of operation from the beginning to not accept a commitment from players unless he has visited. We've lost a couple of recruits in the last few years over exactly this.
And yet they should have. Bazata throwing up the bones last November in Lincoln was glorious!
Breece Hall is not 'out' as poster states. Not saying he's 'in' either but their is a strong relationship between Hall and Iowa coaches, maybe a preferred walk-on.
Yes but eventually they offered and he stayed with Iowa. So he said no to them.
What? No.

wow, this is unbelievable........how in the hell does the greatest player of all time need to read cue cards to remember, "stop it. get some help."
Miamen has received recent offers from Penn State and Notre Dame, doubt Iowa gets a visit. how hard is it o drive from Chicago to Iowa?
He had visited IC 5 times. He just wasn't ready to pull the trigger and the staff wasn't going to wait on him anymore. Like I posted to Sanderson, it is just semantics.
And none of these was an OFFICIAL visit. If a kid gets five officials and won't take one of those at Iowa, the staff has to wonder just how serious he is. This has come up before with other recruits.
If the kid would have committed 2 weeks ago, the staff would have welcomed him whether he had taken an "official" or not. There was hesitation by the kid so the staff cut bait. Both sides held their ground and the kid is going elsewhere.
You sound like my wife. She's never wrong and always has to have the last word, no matter what. Go ahead...Get the last word in and point out that you're not wrong AGAIN.
It's a lot easier and more convenient to make presumptions about entire groups of people when it affirms your bias. When looking to pigenhole an entire group of people, one can generally find exactly what they're looking for to support their argument. It's sort of like statistics.
I've had experiences with some really a-holeish Hawkeye fans. Just blatant pricks. Sounds like some of the Husker fans a few of you describe. There are some $#!tty people who cheer for the Hawks, and there are some $#!tty people who cheer for the Huskers. Unless there is some trait or reason that would make it reasonable to broad-brush an entire fanbase of people, then you're either being lazy or you are promoting it because it fits your narrative.
My father is a huge Husker fan. He would NEVER say he was okay with Nebraska getting shady in order to win again. He's the reason I'm a Husker fan. Took me to my first games when I was 7, and there is no one I respect more in this world than him.
