A university and a coach has invested years in your recruitment. If he sent Kirk a text saying I’m gone without speaking to him and explaining why that totally lacks class. It was easier for him and shows a lack of character IMO.
He couldn’t stand the pressure of waiting to announce so he tweets his commitment early and trashes the Iowa program. Again another example of saying one thing and doing another.
He’s a 17 year old who’s having a hard with decision making, but he’s not getting good council on how to handle the public relations side of it. For his sake I hope he gets better council on how he handles the money. That’s what is important to him so be careful with it.
My guess is it may be more important to someone else too.

True, I do not know them and I do not have all the details. Please enlighten us on said details that might change our perspective on the matter.
I’ve been on on HR and followed recruiting closely for over 20 years. I grew up in IC. I’ve seen and heard it all in the Ferentz era and I can tell you 100% without a doubt my feelings are not hurt.
I actually feel like this might be a blessing in disguise considering the decisions KP and those influencing him have made and how the Iowa program has gained success over the years. No one person is above the others on the team regardless of the talent level or otherwise.
Thankfully, we now know he thinks he’s better than Iowa but they clearly handled the situation poorly and I’d be happy to admit otherwise once you offer up your insight.
💯agree and for anyone to actually believe KP, mommy handler and step daddy didn’t know exactly what they were doing long before last wknd, they are naive.
When millions of dollars along with loads of off the field incentives are on the line, these college free agent contracts aren’t drawn up and edited multiple times in a few hours on a weekend without attorneys and certified notaries on sight for legal finalization.
Undoubtedly, in this case negotiations have been going on for weeks and more than likely with more schools than the two recently visited.
But, don’t hate the player hate the game. College free agency is legal now and so is the scrutiny to go along with it.
One could think, within the circle of trust, it has been known Iowa was in the back seat long before it was made public. It wouldn’t be unheard of that the plan was to give the local school that soft commit early to hold the guaranteed seat and shop the highest bidder all while keeping the natives at bey and milking the system for a free pos jeep along with loads of miscellaneous incentives, atta boy attention and a whole lot of patts on the back. Hell, I’d consider that tactic.
Going forward, I’m now more interested in how Iowa will do things differently to prevent being bitten the same way in the future.
This is extremely hard to argue with...
Easy there Justice Warrior, You act like Single Parenthood is in only 1 demographic, I raised 2 Kids Myself because of a trash Woman and a bad life choice I made so take Your virtue signalling crap and pound sand.
No room for that here. Be better!
You aren’t on Twitter but complain about it being a “bitch session for punk ass liberals”. Then also add comments about a kids mom and dad. Guess we have another right wing, internet badass here. Man you sound like a dipshit.
Welcome aboard Hawk OL recruits Lauck, Leonard, Pieper and Jones. Glad to have YOU.
Nope, wanted to make sure your stupid ass saw it in this thread. Carry on with your BS, idiot.
Ya know I wonder how this post will age. I also wonder if you knew about what I'm about to post in a separate thread in just a bit.......should be fun.
Agree to disagree …that is exactly the type of comment I come on here to read.
Keep’em coming!
Side note: that punk and his family won’t be seeing it anyway, so their precious feelings won’t be hurt. If your feelings are hurt, go join the Roll Tide Board.
Can we do like a 48 hour meltdown and then mods delete all these threads about KP? The fan base needs to meltdown but they also need to move on; 48 hours good for everyone (tomorrow morning?)?
That made me laugh
No different than if he told a girl he was going to the prom with another girl one day before the prom and saying I was settling.
Unfortunately that world went out the window with social media, and everything else rampant these days.....I personally don't care if Proctor signed with Bama, and I don't think people should be flooding him or his family with negative tweets or messages about his decision. However, when we say Kadyn is just a 17 year old kid, It makes me think. How many 17 year old MEN fought in Europe and the Pacific in the 1940's? Kadyn is a 17 year old kid, but he should know what the word commitment means, just like I did when I enlisted in the USAF back in the day. At one time in this country when men shook their hands on something, it was a real agreement which people honored. We really don't seem to expect much from our youth these days. LOL But Proctor is in my rear view mirror and I am only thinking about what Iowa has with people who want to be Hawkeyes. Good luck Kadyn, and Go Hawks.
Agree. And if they think it’s bad here. Just wait till they get to Bama and if he doesn’t perform for them. Look out, it will be ten times worse.
Exactly. If what he says is true, then why is he spending so much time even explaining his decision. Hmmm, because it's BS and everybody knows that to be true.....
Maybe someday Brackney or Thonpson, or the younger Epenesa,(hopefully) will have the chance to plant him on his ass.......
At least here at Iowa, a certain percentage of fans will always support you no matter how incompetent you are at your job. (hey, its a joke)

That will get worse in Alabama but hey his new name is for sale
Yup. Alabama lost 2 games and there were Bama fans calling for Saban to be fired. And Alabama isn't going to baby you. If you don't put out onto the next 5 star recruit.
People saying nasty crap on the internet? Shocker. Be a Jack Campbell. Show up to work, avoid twitter, and be an All-American without all the BS.
Dont care he strung Iowa along for a year took the money and said going to Iowa would be settling. This is what you think of your ex hon state ok,
Yeah. There’s no reasoning or logic with claykenny. That guy is off his rocker.
Meh still childish for adults to throw a stink to someone they never met. Regardless if their points have merit. Iowa needs to fire their oline coach if they’re going to keep in state high ranked linemen. It’s literally the one thing Kirk should excel at finding a good coach for and he’s failing. If we could still run the ball maybe that nil money wouldn’t have mattered
A flip is a flip.. People either need to be okay with both, or be upset with both.
wrong fool the big difference is KP had a alabama offer as long as he had Iowa's they didn't come calling last minute, the other kid got the offer from Iowa that day and accepted it, if you can't tell the difference then .....
Iowa does fine with OL development but it's one among many. You are fooling yourself if you think we do better than Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Michigan, etc... Maybe I just like don't the celebration of mediocrity that has been the hallmark of these Ferentz years. The high point was 2003 Orange bowl, but even then it was apparent that USC had superior talent on almost all levels and that's what it takes to break through to the top of college football. I had faith back then that maybe KF could build from that, but instead he built teams that could feed on weak B10 West teams. It's worked out well for him and tbf it's very difficult to get a program to where it pushes for a CFP title. Ohio St has been the only B10 team with the talent to do it. Michigan might be there but only recently. Even Penn St. is not close. This is reality. Yes a top team can lose to a team like Iowa if they aren't focused, but that's what makes Alabama great. Saban knows that if his team is focused, then they are almost unbeatable because then it just comes down to talent.
Ha ha ha , trying to justify hypocrisy
Were you pissed about Kaleb Johnson flip, he had an Iowa offer for a long time. committed to Cal then flipped to Iowa.
Did you question his ethics?
