Was going to ask why we are offering juco DL at this point, but he's a 4 for 4 so that makes more sense. Always loved Kyle Vanden Bosch so I dig the name too.

Yeah, I see that now.  He was originally Class of 2020 but only had walk-on and small-school offers because he played in the smallest class in Georgia.  So he "bet on himself" and went to IWCC.  Since he was a full qualifier he can leave IWCC and be immediately eligible.  And since last year (this spring for IWCC) doesn't count against eligibility, he would still be a true freshman, eligibility-wise.

 

So he's definitely not the usual JUCO.

Word is we told him he'd have to walk-on for the fall semester and be on scholarship in January.  Iowa offered a full scholarship right away.

Makes sense why he got an Iowa CB

And it's going to be a big factor in his decision.

Callahan says he's not as concerned with that.  He's more interested in the best fit.

Complete opposite of what Sean Bock (Iowa 247 guy) said, but Bock is a N-hater/Eye-homer to the extreme. He probably still thinks Fidone is going to LSU.

Damn that recruitment was quick

Was there a scholarship iss in for is in the fall to not offer, or we just weren't willing?
