With all the people leaving the team in recent years it seems like some recruits could be worried about coming to Iowa City. Hopefully the McCall and Coker departures don't cause any other casualties.

I think if they keep their noses (or other body parts) clean they'll be fine.

Now I think we can all agree something publicly needs to be said... If not the whole truth... Something.

Yikes, Not what you want to see. Hopefully Ferentz and Co. can get out there and do some damage control.

One would hope so. Especially with an important prospect like Johnson. Someone who is needed to fill a void on the team. I really hope that Ferentz and Co. get out and tell these kids that everything is fine, or at least say something publicly.

Awesome

Better do some damage control fast.

Program is a laughing stock. Don't worry, they'll replace Johnson with a project from Hudson or something

the program is a laughing stock because one of it's players involved in sexual assault left the team?

That's just what we need. Only thing to top our biggest recruits leaving would be, if Penn State still gets a better recruiting class then us after all the s*** going on there. That would speak volumes for where our football program is truly headed.

The woe is me attitude on the message boards probably isn't helping anything. It's clear 17 and 18 year old kids monitor message boards and social media. The constant complaining, negativity, ect... can't help anything.

"Laughing stock" is a stretch, but Coker isn't the first player to leave the team for one reason or another.

You think Iowa is the only school with attrition? The rate at RB is absolutely alarming though and ridiculous. However check schools like Bama and Miami that routinely sign 30+ recruits where only 25 make it to campus. That is much greater attrition.

Why does it feel every time I get on this page I feel like I have been kicked in the gut lately?

i don't know how that (why coker left the team) is a reflection of the 'program'. are you saying the staff is at fault for recruiting him to the team?

you don't think that guys understand if you sexually assault someone, or allegedly do so, that ramifications follow? he's probably fortunate she didn't want to press charges and have her name drug through the iowa city mud.

is the staff supposed to put these guys in a bubble?
