Legitimate question, why does it bother any of you guys? If the answer is because you’re Iowa fans, I get it. But let’s not pretend like we all had it figured out at 18. And sure it’s not great for the sport to commit and flip. But he should be worried about what’s right for him at 18, not the sport. IF he has a question about Iowa’s culture and if that’s the right place for him, his development, and his EDUCATION, than he would be short-changing himself not to make a change. At the end of the day, this is a kid (or young man, if you really want to get technical). Let him work out what’s best for him.
Unfortunately, there’s a social media and promotional component, but that’s the sad state of current affairs. Cut away the fat, and this is a kid just working out what’s best for his development and growth as an athlete and person.
