legit weird to see white/other races. that's the opposite of the idea of POC. Maybe Miguel Recinos wasn't always comfortable.

Wouldn't the "guys he takes to Chicago" need to be weighted by returning starters/all-conference players or something? he even mentions that the QB went half the time. Guys like Jackson and Fant never went because they left early. Seems like they usually have a top OL with them, the white OL that were high NFL picks were seniors (Reiff, Scherff), the black guys (Daniels, Wirfs) left early.

the transfer chart/text is really confusing. I also think you should almost remove Iowans from that, guys who grew up here (of any race) are less likely to get homesick and are probably more content to ride out as a backup than some kid of any race from New Jersey.

There is a valid statement that retention of black players has been a problem. It seems like upperclassmen (i.e. leadership) numbers stem from that.

I think Eickholt took the original tweet down just to clarify who Green is.

And may have been mentioned on a prior page but Green tagged/sent this to Ricky Parks (who obviously picked Utah on Sunday).

Wadley is predictably a scumbag. He was fun as hell to watch, but let this be a lesson to all the adults that act like children and automatically exalt all their favorite athletes (especially you, Hey Guys).

I actually question if Wadley even wants to do this or be a part of it. He clearly didn't a few weeks ago. I think this is his mom and the shady other guy pushing this. He hasn't even really spoken to anyone or given any interviews. The only thing is that weird statement that read like a hostage note.

I think his mother is a very powerful force over him.

Lol at Jordan Canzeri and Akrum Wadley of all people to be bitching about this as well. Fucking 2* nobody nothings that had shit offers from Temple (Wadley) and Villinova (Canzeri) before Iowa saved them from the sink hole of shit. Same goes for Mike Daniels.

You're welcome guys.

I think this is a gross exaggeration. Guys moving far from home are always more likely to transfer and for every Wadley going crazy you’ve got people like Sanders, Hodge, Clayborn, etc. and understated current guys who aren’t dipshits but just work their asses off and often overachieve.

Did Robert Green address any failed drug tests or failed classes in his Facebook Live address? Perhaps their impact on a student athlete’s experience at Iowa? I’m just curious.

I looked at HawkeyeNation, what a fucking terrible website by the way, and from the post Rob made today he truly believes this is his Penn State and he alone will out the Iowa program. He thinks anyone that speaks out even a little against any player is "trying to defend the program at all costs" and the pattern is the same as something like Penn State. He also thinks he is reporting both sides.

Explains everything of why he is acting the way he is acting. He was diddled as a kid by his uncle and when Penn State happened it hit close to home for him and he obviously sees this as his mission in life.
