Nothing like passing judgement on a recruit before he even sets foot on campus as a Gopher.

I guess it is good to hear that they are trying to enforce something but yeah, I'm sure the agents will just figure out a loop hole or way to reword things to get around whatever roadblocks anyone tries to put in place.

I look at it this way.....If Drake is getting legit first round buzz after the season it probably means we had a hell of a season because right now today nobody is spending a first round pick on him.

I'm in no way plugged into the Iowa recruiting scene but a 4* recruit from Iowa City without an Iowa or Iowa State offer makes me think he made it clear he wasn't staying in state.

That is my take as well. I think he is definitely building with an eye to the future as well but with portal guys you need them to be able to make an impact right away because there is no guarantee they will be back the following year.

So in your opinion what should happen to Drake? Toss him in jail and throw away the key.....multi game suspension.....you really want to make this into something massive so what should happen to him? His family has money so they will get him a good lawyer....and as long as this was in fact a...

If that last sentence were true nobody would be arguing with you about your take on this. You are trying to make this into something way bigger than it is. Hell you are floating the idea that he would be suspended for 3 games for a similar violation in the NFL which is just laughable. (the...

A three game suspension for a misdemeanor in the NFL?

Popular with coaches, administrations and anyone that wants to see some sort of structure and sanity injected into the system. Not popular with players and agents out to get whatever they can from this backwards world of unrestricted free agency every year for every player.

Fleck has had similar success on the football side in terms of retaining key contributors. I just think it is a lot harder in this landscape to look too far ahead or bring in guys who might not make an impact until a little down the road. Perfect world, you find guys who can make an immediate...

He got arrested so it is an issue.....it just isn't the massive one a couple of posters are trying to make it out to be.

He wasn't behind the wheel so he really isn't Georgia Bulldog material.

Don't think there is any doubt they have an eye on the future with the portal class they brought in but I would also bet they believe most if not all these guys can help now as well as potentially be around for multiple years. With the way players move around now you can't really bank on guys...

Yeah, as long as nothing new comes out about what went down I don't see this rising to anything more then a slap in the wrist/don't do it again kind of thing.

Court dates are in June. It would be foolish on Fleck and the teams part to do or say much of anything prior to those court dates happening. All the reporting shows this is misdemeanor level stuff on Drake's part. Bad decisions and a bad look for him but not the kind of stuff that is going to...

Yep.....but of course there will be those that make the assumption that nothing is being done if it is not spelled out for them in complete detail. This whole situation and the reaction to it really does underscore how few issues like this there have been in Fleck's time here.

Yeah, I hate the short shorts trend in college football and Bush unfortunately is on the extreme end in terms of getting those things as short as possible. That said, will gladly overlook it if he is routinely making things tough on opposing QBs. Excited to see this DL in action. A really...

Agree......It was a mistake on Drake's part and fair or not he is going to be held to a higher standard than most college students. In the grand scheme of things it is a very minor offense (at least based on the info we have so far) and it happened a long way from the start of the season...

Yeah, makes sense that we are going to be an afterthought in most rankings until we actually prove something. But like you, I was really impressed by what Niko was able to do with what he had available late in the season last year. It shouldn't have worked anywhere close to as well as it did...

Goal for this season should be getting into the NCAA tournament.
