This is common, not just an Iowa thing. We do it as well... when a position fills, that’s it. You snooze you lose.It’s screwed up, I can’t believe he’s letting Ferentz and Iowa dictate his recruitment. He went from wanting to visit both Iowa and Nebraska and trying to schedule a visit with KSU to suddenly he’s ready to commit just because Iowa MIGHT not have a spot for him if the other WR commits. I’d say screw Iowa and keep on the path he was on.

That’s how I feel about it.
I agree with your take. We need to bring in the best player, period. If a better receiver comes from out of state, then let’s go after them instead.
I totally agree. Just saying what Iowa has done here is the same thing we have done as well. Johnson could easily tell Kirk to go fly a kite, but Iowa must interest him enough that he’s willing to commit before he intended to.right but he had other options. Iowa wasn’t his lone Power 5 team. It’s one thing when it’s you lone good offer. He could kill at KSU or Nebraska.

Could it be where pops tells him to commit to Iowa now since the offer is on the table but still take the visit to us later, assuming we’ll still take him?
oh no doubt, we will most definitely get our guys. WR is one position I’m never worried about. Lubick and Frost will get talented players regardless.
I'm not as confident about WR, it's a position that has not produced much under Frost these first 2 years. We landed some promising recruits last class, but they they still have to prove themselves. Maybe Walters was the problem, but Lubick hasn't landed any recruits yet. And other than Jaylin Noel, we don't seem to be in on many top WRs for 2021.
Except Kirk shuts down the recruitment of guys who are committed. Will pull offer if they shop around on visits. So, no.definitely. This could be a move just to lock Iowa’s spot down and he could still look into KSUcks and the Huskers as well. He won’t sign Wednesday and it will be far from over.

Yeah, he could, but like most of the stuff you post theres zero indication its a possibility.That will be on the Johnson’s. They can still talk the coaches and position coaches. If he likes what he sees at KSU or Nebraska better, he can literally flip Kirk the finger and go on visit and then commit. All in that order even
Yeah, he could, but like most of the stuff you post theres zero indication its a possibility.
If he flips kirk the bird it will be wednesday or never.
You often post as though its not guessing or speculation. Usually very outlandish with zero fact to back it up. Your fantasies get a little strange, especially this one. There is zero indication or reason to believe Johnson's dad told his son to commit Wednesday to the Hawkeyes to secure a spot and then go on other visits just to flip kirk the bird later. Zero rational reason to even think that.right, and like most things you or any of us post on here are guessing and speculations. That’s all any of us can do on here. I don’t think any of us our Power 5 coaches.

Again, if he wants the hawkeyes he will commit there wednesday. If he doesnt, he wont. There is no other reason or motive.

Just two years ago we were an injury away from having two 1000 yard recievers... The opportunities are there for wide recievers.I'm not as confident about WR, it's a position that has not produced much under Frost these first 2 years.

Iowa makes sense for him and if that is where he wants to be, he should jump on it. Nebraska had an amazing haul at WR last year and I am confident we will sign multiple WR's ranked as high or higher than KJ when all is said and done, again this year.
You guys are a bunch of sore losers. Once proved to you guys Wiltfong didn’t predict Iowa, you guys flip it to Rival predictions and act like Johnson will actually end up a Hawkeye...classic. Face it, you guys have a few IOWA GUYS guessing Iowa. Either way, best of luck but Johnson nor Fidone will end up Iowa.
now have fun talking smack because I’m literally leaving after I post this, you will be talking to yourselfs.
So who other than Robinson has Frost brought in that has contributed? As far as I can remember, there were three recruits last year, Robinson was one. The experts had all three contributing. One is all ready gone. Recruits the previous years ?? I can't even remember there names.oh no doubt, we will most definitely get our guys. WR is one position I’m never worried about. Lubick and Frost will get talented players regardless.

No. Not as long as we can keep getting talent as good or better than him.Aren't you worried about how the optics look when your fan base starts going down the road of not caring about "legacy", good in-state recruits? It's not like he'd be a walk-on, he'll be pretty good.
Yes. That will be a much bigger issue than losing the player himself. The meltdown will be bad.Aren't you worried about how the optics look when your fan base starts going down the road of not caring about "legacy", good in-state recruits? It's not like he'd be a walk-on, he'll be pretty good.
I mean, I guess in the end it won't be too bad as long as this doesn't start a trend of legacy players leaving for other programs. But Frost made that one statement about locking down the state of Nebraska and lost (or is losing) two great recruits to rivals. We'll see I guess.Yes.

I agree to a degree. However, last week we got a kid with offers from Florida, Florida State, Miami, Georgia, Penn State, etc and it was crickets, but now we want to freak out about losing a kid with offers from KSU and Iowa?Wow. No way to spin this. We are losing some very good in-state talent and it has to stop. The losses on the field are coming home to roost. Still believe it Frost and staff but the climb out is getting steeper and harder.
I think it's more so who the kid is. He's not just some random 3* kid off the street. Didn't his dad go to Nebraska? So he's a great player that's a legacy recruit an hour from campus. You need to lock down kids like that.I agree to a degree.

Of course he wants to keep instate kids, but I’m not sure why we would need to freak out over losing KJ and I am not sure what makes you classify him as a “great” recruit.I mean, I guess in the end it won't be too bad as long as this doesn't start a trend of legacy players leaving for other programs.
