Based on BF's comments about ISU's recruiting, Brock had no interest in going to Iowa. He basically said they'd never pull an offer from a kid who wanted to commit.

You are correct. We've already proven over and over again beyond a reasonable doubt that Iowa recruits just like every other school in the country, but Yeahbuddy still refuses to believe it.

Iowa cancelled the visit. Sounds like it was a numbers thing and they had their guy. I think this significantly improves our chances, although Notre Dame will be tough if they are truly interested in him.

Key will be if he sets a commitment date before fall. ND doesn't want him to visit before fall. If he sets a date in the next month or so, it's Iowa State, Minnesota, Northwestern, maybe in that order. Maybe getting dropped by Iowa puts urgency in it for him not to wait for Notre Dame?

Seems strange that it is a numbers thing when we heard that Iowa does not offer more than spots they have. All offers are committable. Maybe their staff has issues with math.

It's 'new math' with the TOE when a kid they really wanted a month ago tells them he no longer has any interest in being a hok.

Iowa has NEVER really lost a recruit to another school before. At first hint a kid is likely going to commit somewhere else, they yank it before he can announce it. Makes it look better on their end.

Or most likely Iowa pulled the offer because they will be full after Goodson commits. Schools would have to pull a whole crap ton of offers if they were doing it out of pettiness. From what I understand Brock is a NW lean at this point anyways. I have no idea what ND coming into the picture does for his recruitment though.

The narrative from Iowa fans on here was Iowa wanted two RBs and both Goodson and Brock were takes

Shame that it's not going to work out. Brock obviously really liked Iowa, not fun seeing a kid not able to attend where he wanted to go. I'll trust the coaches who obviously like Goodson better and don't have room for two. Wish him all the best.

Ahh yes. The didn’t want him anyway approach. Typical Hack fan.

Even more pretentious assuming Brock had a huge boner for Iowa, but Kirk had to break his heart. Sorry Brock, you’re just don’t have what it takes to be a hawkeye :rolleyes:

Brock obviously was not madly in love with the Hawks for some reason. If he would have committed, they definitely would have taken him.

He pretty much said he wont have time to squeeze a visit to South Bend by the end of the month and ND is trying to have him delay in making his decision. He said he could or could not delay and it all depends on what happens the next couple of weeks.

My money is he still commits to Iowa shortly after his OV on 06/22.
I will take my money in gold.

Who cares how Iowa recruits? Why the fascination?

I assume it's mostly sarcasm and trolling because of the way Baby Ferentz takes his holier than thou shots at our recruiting. And the evil Gophers recruiting. And anyone not of pure Hawk descendancy. Nobody here REALLY gives two ***** about their recruiting style or methods.
