Olakudon specifically called out the race issues in his decommit tweet.
Add Skyler Bell to the list as well- Diante Vines HS teammate who was all Iowa until the last minute when he wasn’t. He also cited the race issues as a reason he didn’t come.
Isaac Thompson is quoted below. Not sure how you got “slow play” as the answer he didn’t want to come to Iowa:
“When I saw all the racial issues that came out against Iowa football, I was so shocked. I’ve been up there twice now and really loved Iowa and the city. When I saw all of these allegations about the program, it really rubbed me the wrong way,” Thompson told HN.
“It was hard for me to believe that my family and I liked it so much and it was going to be one of my top schools. To know that if I would’ve ended up going there, I could’ve been involved in all the racial stuff is tough for me. Coach (Levar) Woods and coach (Phil) Parker are great people and coaches, and I still have a good relationship with coach Woods, but I would be lying if I said I was still considering the University of Iowa.”
