Iowa should reopen offer to Juan Harris

Fool me once, shame on you...................!
Sorry OP but that is a awful idea.
I'd let him walk-on or grayshirt. Does not deserve a scholarship anymore.
That's a toughy right there... I think that big ole ship has sailed and sunk as far as him getting an offer again..
This is what I was thinking. Obviously it would be more ideal if he honored his original commitments. But waffling on picking a school doesn't necessarily mean he won't be 100% committed to a program and a hard worker once it's all said and done on signing day. If I were Ferentz I would at least strongly consider reopening the offer
I took a look at his jr highlights.. He's Absolutly mammoth.. Like the BJ Raji, Vince Wolfork, Big Baby Shawn Rogers, Terrance Kighton of Iowa high school football.. Hope his life gets rights.... He claims his life is worse than most but what better way to get on the right track than with a free college education and the opportunity to get that by playing football.. He got issues... Smh
I think Kirk needs to roll the dice on this kid. As mentioned above, could you imagine a DL with Epenesa, Daniels and Juan?
If he does not pan out or is a headcase, kick him to the curb. Maybe someone can get in his mind and tell him 4 years of hard work on/off the field and he will play Sundays and make a lot of money.
His videos clearly show he has quick feet for his size and he has a mean streak.
Take a chance Kirk!

He went on his official to Indiana on 1 October.15 days latter he decommits? Probably waddled in there at about 400lbs and the coaches has some tough things to say to him. His feelings were hurt and here we are again. Walk on at best.
Not all kickers are on schollie. Harris will be a decent D2 guy if he is lucky. He is not a difference maker at the weight he carries around. Colleges recruit difference makers based on potential. He issues far out-weigh his potential. Mental toughness is as important at the college level as anything....appears by his action and statements he definitely isn't close.
You want to upset some recruits currently committed to Iowa? Offer Juan Harris a scholarship again.
His last decommitment was bad because it came with him trashing other players already committed to Iowa. It was before he decommited and in a group message that included players like AJ and Eno.
So yeah... I highly doubt Juan Harris is even asked to walk on at Iowa.

For you to take the next step to elite, you have to start taking some talent that might take some coddling and molding.
Not every person is ready to be a man when they start college. Sometimes I think Iowa coaches dont take enough risk in the recruiting realm.

You do realize that a grayshirt recruit still receives a scholarship, right?
As someone said above, pretty sure he pissed off some of Iowa's other commits.
I'm sure Kirk has moved on a long time ago.

IIRC, it was something about one of the OL commits being weak. Kallenberger or Wirfs or something. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Don't know exactly what was said but it was along these lines. It was Kallenberger.
They should offer and rescind three times and call it even.
Also, we are talking High School kids; they get upset over stupid stuff all the time.
Hmm yeah that sounds kind of petty to me. Like high school locker room drama. I think he's still definitely worth the shot. He might not pan out, but his upside is huge.
I would agree that he's a great candidate for a walk-on/greyshirt.
Yes the grey shirt is a scholarship eventually but its a humbling factor.
From a physical talent standpoint, he's one of the top players you can get. However, his dedication/commitment is questionable. Making him take a sacrifice to start with shows he wants to be part of the team. The only way he fulfills his talent is to dedicate himself off the field when he gets to Iowa. He needs to make the first step now to show he's worth it.

Um, all due respect to the OP, we go nowhere near this young man. Let him work things out at lower tiered school and then we'll see.
I agree that would be the ideal situation. But I don't think it would happen. This kid is going to be a scholarship athlete at a D1 program when it's all said and done on signing day this year. He was the #1 DT in his class as a fresh and soph. If he could shed 30-40 lbs or so under proper guidance from Doyle he'd be a one man wrecking crew. His upside is too high and there will be coaches that swoop in last minute to pick him up.
Right. I guess I may not be 100% clear how a grayshirt works, but don't they come in essentially as a walk-on where they are eligible to receive the scholarship after attrition occurs?
I suppose you'd be right in that telling a recruit to grayshirt is essentially telling them they have a scholarship when it's available. The idea is that he'd have to be in or around the program and show he's committed to the team before receiving the scholly.
Juan Harris is going to play D-I football for somebody, it might as well be us.
Personally, I'm tired of the way this recruiting process is set up. I say do away with the early commit thing. Most of these kids will have more girl friends and best friends after they early commit at three or four schools. Make it just one signing day after their senior season is over and let that be it.

He will land at a D1 school unless his grades are not up to snuff. His upside could be huge, and if he can get somewhere that will keep him motivated he has a chance to be an all american type performer. No doubt, this is a lot of 'ifs', but his strength, size, and quickness are gonna land him somewhere in the D1 world. What he does with that opportunity remains to be seen.....
