I want to sell something that is really easy and makes me a lot of money for very little work. A captive audience would be good too...Like "selling" insurance plans to state and local governments. I think I'll go to Yale.
Josh Volk interview on picking Iowa
- Thread starter bradnjen
- Start date
totally my thought too. Sounds like he decided farming itself isn't for him which is fair. And though I'm not sure which farm he went to specifically and how things may have changed since I was there but..........I don't see that being something overly impressive to show a recruit.

I wonder if his classmates at Iowa will ridicule him for being interested in ag.
I know they were/currently are upgrading some of them, but, unless they showed him the 450(?) farm, I agree, probably not the best use of time for a recruiting visit.
As long as he restricts himself to promoting an ANF sticker they won't bust out the "Moo U" comments to his face.
All back story recruitment stories aside, if ISU is going to make that next step these are the guys Campbell needs to get in Ames. The OL just is not at the same level as the rest of the team. He has gotten a few better guys, but the Hawk still get the pick of the in state linemen.
If you have a degree you can get a job in Ag Retail. Hell DMACC has a good ag program. There are plenty of open retail jobs that if you can sell and willing to work hard you can get. If he is good at that and puts his time in then he can work up the ladder other jobs.
I'm ok with the haks dominating a small midwestern state if we can haul in comparable talent abroad. Ramos, Treiber, & Hufford are a good start. This season will be very telling concerning our O line development. No more youth excuse. If we can't win in the trenches vs UNI, time to burn this mother down.
I for one am not ragging, friend. he's free to go wherever he wishes. That doesn't change the fact that what he said seems to be pretextual (or lacking in insight). I hope he benefits from his time in Iowa City.
What offensive lineman wouldn't want to go to Iowa? Their lineman have to average at or near the most NFL $$$ of any program, especially if you count the tight ends.

An unfortunate truth. I love CMC but if I was an OL prospect it would be tough to turn away from that track record. And I hate Iowa. These recruits don't hate Iowa.
I'd like to agree with you, but keep in mind, even when good Iowa and Wisconsin teams have played UNI, UNI holds their own in the trenches.
Agreed. Have a friend's kid who played for UNI after being AA at a Juco. Lost his starting job to another, so he transferred and started at a D1 in a G5 conference. In the AAF now after getting cut from a training camp. UNI has a good line development.
It seems to me that he took the high road by calling Campbell first and letting him know. I'd rather have him at ISU but good luck to him over there except for one Saturday every September.
