ATH/RB Eli Sanders Obviously Chooses ISU over Iowa
- Thread starter NATEizKING
- Start date
From the standpoint of Eli and his family, what's the rush? If I were in his shoes I would want to see both campuses and see if one really feels that much more like home than the other. It isn't like this trip will set his decision back by a month.
Wonder if Iowa can spell his name right? They couldn't get Newell's spelled write when he took a visit there.
Nebraska hasn't been relevant the last 20 years and majority of these recruits weren't around when they were relevant.
LOL. Wait, is this real?
Needs a few rows for "Years of Institutional Racism". Sadly, Iowa beats us again.
Conveniently left out # of lawsuits lost, players leaving due to racism, and payout amounts for coaches silence.
Cool. Now do it against Nebraska...
How good are they right now?
As mentioned in a post above, majority of these kids weren't alive when Nebraska had winning seasons.
They know ISU's present and future look brighter than them, so they look backward. You think a 17 year old cares about what happened almost 2 decades ago?
To be honest, yes. It's hard to not look at what Iowa has put in the NFL compared to ISU and not be a legit selling point to a young man. ISU is definitely on the rise but it's going to take a decade to start to change the narrative.
Is this what the coaches give them? I find it odd that some kid would put together something that goes back random years. Looks like something BF must use for negative recruiting against us. Why does a kid worry about things that happened before he was born. Being a dad of a kid who went through the recruitment a few years ago, these guys focus on the current staff and their last few years and what they believe will happen in the future.
Oh, I think it sealed it. Probably not the way KF intended though.
People actually believe the kid be like, "I'd like to commit to the 2001 Hawkeye team, please?" Because that's what that's saying.
If we continue the trend we're on, it won't take a decade. Certain kids may pay attention to history, but most aren't going much past five years. A 2-3 year trend will stand out more than what happened in the 90s.
