Why Kadyn Proctor flipped from Iowa to Alabama (again)
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Rumors, rumors, rumors aplenty.
As has been stated in several previous posts, KP was not well accepted in IC from the upperclassmen once he arrived.
Supposedly was insulted that he wasn't listed #1 on depth chart and things went south from there.
I imagine ISU could somehow come up with the $$$, but I can't imagine ISU guys would feel any different than the reception he got in IC?
Sounds like a locker room cancer.
Gotta believe they would welcome him considering he turned down their instate rivals….and HC might pull out all of the stops he was expecting at Iowa.
Insulated that they didn't list him as the #1?
Had he even done anything yet? Besides having his mom call up the coaches?
What a joke.
I hate it when people get insulated.
Madman….Destin is about 50 east of Alabama……did you go to the bathroom a lot during your junior high geography class? Pretty. Sure the Gulf is there…..unless Trump transacted some real estate.
I am aware of the location of Destin.
My point is the The Gulf of Mexico is part of the Atlantic Ocean.
Turns out they had a right to be skeptical and Proctor ended up proving them to be exactly right. These kids know what's going on. You can't fool the locker room.
Maybe the upperclassman didn't like the fact that the new guy was coming in to take one of their spots. It's not like any of them has shown themselves to be a quality OT yet and everyone and their brother assumed Proctor would be taking the LT spot day one. I could see some friction there.
He dissed the entire Hawkeye football family the first time. How do you think he would be treated by his teammates?
Alabama signee Proctor felt like he was ‘settling’ with Iowa
One day after flipping his commitment from Iowa to Alabama, five-star offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor believes the “better opportunity” for him is at Alabama.

Well he wasn't wrong was he? The Iowa offense, and particularly the offensive line was a total dumpster fire. There was no doubt that he had a better opportunity at Alabama. He started as a freshman at left tackle for a championship contender. How many players on this Iowa oline would have even sniffed the 2-deeps at Alabama, let alone started at left tackle?He dissed the entire Hawkeye football family the first time. How do you think he would be treated by his teammates?

Not disagreeing with you, you were contemplating why his teammates were salty, no?
Correct. I have no inside information. I'm just looking at it from the perspective of someone that's been in the program working hard for 4-5 years and having someone come in from the outside with everyone assuming that he's better and that he's taking my or my buddy's job on day 1. I might not be feeling too warm and fuzzy upon his arrival.
Meh, I think everyone knows you have to earn your spot. I don't think any of his team mates thought anything other then they have to compete for their spot and they have to do that at all times anyway. Now the other way around seems much more plausible, that he did not feel like he had to earn his spot, being on a national contender team, as you said. I mean if we look at all sides of this and think what is more likely.
This is a post that can only come from an arrogant fan of an arrogant school. That cheats, BTW.
Did you not see/hear/read all that Proctor said the first time he flipped? He basically said his former future teammates were beneath him, that he would have come in with the pressure of "already" being "the best", and that he would have been "settling". How does any self-respecting player welcome an asshat like THAT into your program?
You left out the culture of sign-stealing. THAT'S how a team with 10-15 ranked recruiting classes win a natty. Then the coach, who has twice lied to the NCAA, jumps ship.
To be fair. This is a story because it's a hometown 5 * at Iowa. At Florida, Texas, USC, Georgia, or Ohio State, this is a one week headline. Alabama will not be playing Iowa in the next three years. Time to move on, give attention to the guys on the team.
Feed a fever or starve a cold. Which one will we embrace?

But if you are talking about the stories of not making it to class at those schools, I get you, lol. Once a Hawk, always a Hawk, but not sure about that dude.
It will be interesting to see how professional teams react to this incident in a few years…if it affects his draft status in any way.
I posted previously, one has to believe there at least will be a phone call made from an NFL team to KF. Character might be a factor....I saw Draft Day, lol. For reals though, a team spending millions on an individual I would make a call. Could impact his contract if he makes it to the NFL. He's no Wirfs and I think he should call and ask him not to wear his number.
Yes, he was wrong,.. It's wrong to go through life acting like an asshole,.. Kid needs to grow up and it appears that his parents need to step aside and let that happen.
Players who transfer more than once should have to sit out a year. Iowas record with prima donnas has not been to good. That said good riddance...
Hiring an O.C is a story as well. But we don't fixate on it for months on end. I'm not saying we shouldn't have feelings on this, but I just expect this to happen yearly. I wonder how his teammates at Alabama truly view him. The lines are true brotherhoods. Procter seems flippant at best.
