KF went to go see Waggoner yesterday to explain the whole situation in person instead of over the phone. There's still a chance Iowa ends up taking him, but they have more needs than spots available right now.Seems odd that Ferentz would go visit Waggoner and then they are suddenly moving on in another direction. I know he's a class act but would he need to tell him personally. Could had the case though, as we are reportedly no longer hosting DL Taylor. Something about new priorities.
They have bigger needs than DE right now. Specifically, they told Leonard Taylor they're going to take a DB instead.any idea why?
Harvard went 5-5 this year, clearly their "piece of paper" is worthless! lolI don't, but that piece of paper represents my skin in the game. What's yours? Posting on here? Going to a game or two a year? This university is on my resume for life, and, to a certain degree, the University of Iowa's national reputation is tied in with the success of this football program. So yeah, I care and want us to compete for championships on a more consistent basis. I'm not a ~.550 employee and I don't expect this team to be either.
Recruiting players is not the same as developing players. Stay on topic.
First of all, can you please stop with all the confrontation and profanity?Just because you typed this doesn't mean it does. I've been following recruiting since 02 and very few non-Iowa/bordering state boys have ever referenced a KF in-home visit. Ferentz only goes out when a high caliber recruit in close proximity is on the fence. Waggoner is one of those guys.
Give me a list of home visits from Ferentz, show me a photo of KF in a recruit's house, or show me an article that says that Ferentz visited outside of a 5 hour radius from IC. I'll hold on the line. Show me something that disproves what I said or shove it up your ass.

Second, I don't think you understand how the recruiting rules work. The reason you're seeing KF on the road "just now" is this is the first week of the contact period, meaning the first week coaches can do in-home visits, period, and head coaches only get one in-home visit with each recruit.
Third, you're not following recruiting very closely if you've never heard of KF visiting a recruit outside a 5 hour radius of Iowa City. Here are a few just from last year with photos as requested.

He pays you to act like a fool?I'm just doing what you pay me to do, Blair. But yeah, sure thing. Thanks for your responses.
LOL. Okay, we're done here.I'm just doing what you pay me to do, Blair. But yeah, sure thing. Thanks for your responses.
Keeping reading afterNot a chance nor would there be any incentive to do so. Why you continue to post this is beyond me.
Well, you responded quickly when your integrity was questioned but a coaches integrity can be constantly and wrongly questioned on these boards just saying...Not a chance nor would there be any incentive to do so. Why you continue to post this is beyond me.
Lol. Bye bye.I'm just doing what you pay me to do, Blair. But yeah, sure thing. Thanks for your responses.
hey greenelite - mic dropIowa rarely recruits west of Nebraska, so not very many obviously, only a handful when they go after guys that way. If they continue to recruit this California QB, Spencer Petras, he'll visit him for sure.
I know last year he visited Kyshaun Bryan and Josh Turner in Florida, Trey Creamer in Georgia, Brandon Smith in Mississippi, and Thomas Johnston in Alabama. If you want to include the East Coast, Ihmir Smith-Marsette in New Jersey. He also went to see Peyton Mansell and Matt Hankins in Texas.

Tyler Wiegers, do you think he stay's for his last year or leaves to be a starter at another school ?Sounds like they may not want another DE. LB, WR, QB and DB are bigger needs.
greenelite - game over
Watched him in the playoffs a couple of weeks ago..didn't really standout to me..I thought their linebacker was a stud though.Ok why exactly did this kid fall so far off of both instate schools priorit lists? I am hearing rumblings that ISU probably won't take him neither.
UCLA is 7 miles to "The Beach".
So, Iowa has to recruit against this? Uh, oh.
Trying to read the tea leaves....... We don't take Waggoner because creaddith is a Hawk?
He graduates in December so I can see him leaving as a grad transfer.Tyler Wiegers, do you think he stay's for his last year or leaves to be a starter at another school ?
If CyTwins said it, it must be true.Ok why exactly did this kid fall so far off of both instate schools priorit lists? I am hearing rumblings that ISU probably won't take him neither.
I could see him deciding that if he has a college degree it is no longer worthwhile to put in the effort to be a backup QB. From what little we have seen of him as a player, I cannot envision him walking in as a starter at an FCS or FBS school.He graduates in December so I can see him leaving as a grad transfer.
What? You want this to turn into the shit show going on at Tennessee? The ongoing shit show at Nebraska? Congrats on screwing someone else's girlfriend by the way. Classy!
Now this is funny.Someone had to satisfy Jake's girlfriend, he probably stuck the mattress 3 feet short of the target...

Again.......the take away here is .....most people have no idea what there talking about. All the talk about Kirk's recruiting is ridicules. The guy recruits kids that keep there mouths shut ....and willing to learn ....and are not disruptive to the team! He takes 2* players and puts them in the NFL. It would be much easier to put a spoiled, big headed 5* in the NFL but doesn't want the BS that comes along with some of those guys! That in my book makes him a good recruiter and coach. Again ....some people think they are owed a top 5 team every year ....it aint gonna happen ...get over it!
Banned? Who said anything about that. I just enjoy posters who are always negative, have no clue what they are talking about, and spread lies being put in their place and proven wrong. If I wanted you banned, I’d just put you on my personal banned list (ignore).Franchise posters like myself don't get banned.
WellI am sure all of this is 100% truthful
No blue bloods swooping in late when they have misses or decommits are the biggest benefits to schools like Iowa KF wants the kids to sign in DecI'm sure to replace Josh Jackson so he can get paid in the league after winning Tatum Award, possible Jim Thorpe Award, First Team All B1G and top league db. He'd be crazy not to go after Des King missed out on a lot of money when he decided to come back for senior year then dropped so far in the draft since no one threw his way senior year. Come on down Dallas C!
Regarding John W, he is probably waiting for that ND offer. Good luck with that kid but could cost you a ride to Iowa if they don't have a spot available at the February signing period.
KF and coaches are trying to get as many signed in the early period so they don't have to scramble last minute like in years past. Really like this early signing period to secure your players and know who really want to play for the Hawks instead of wait for a better offer last minute with the February date which has worked for and against Iowa in years past. I'm sure there will be a lot of movement once all the dust settles with coaching changes. Who knows, John W could end up at Nebraska if ND doesn't come through, Iowa doesn't have a spot and Scott Frost(?) is scrambling to sign players.
I think you're right about him probably going to ISU. The West Coast has the sunshine, and the girls all get a tan. But Ames has the water.
You're going to need him and about 15 other guys like him to start being competitive. Good luck.Back to Waggoner.........Minnesota says, "HI"
I disagree completely. If the rumors are true, it looks like holding out has cost him multiple offers, including Iowa, ISU, tOSU (not sure he was always a first take for them), and some of his other big offers. I'm unsure how his recent season and film would have impacted his status if committed, but I don't see how this has helped him, coaching changes or not.This whole thing is pretty interesting. Minnesota? Very interesting.
Here's my quick take:
- The young man was wise to wait. He could see how things played out and see if there were coaching changes.
- He has yet to take official visits. Good call. He can now have the time of the staffs to learn what is most important.
Crystal Ball 247 is all Iowa...Trying to read the tea leaves....... We don't take Waggoner because creaddith is a Hawk?
Who ya got?I think Iowa will have a few more spots once the semester is over. There will be some guys that announce they are leaving.
