And obviously he can. I would hope he doesn't let a fan forum decide where he plays. And I can have an opinion opposite of yours whether you like it or not.

Or any kids other than their own choosing to go to any college anywhere for that matter. But that's just me.
I think he's doin alright
Yeah, I do too. But when I watch golf they frequently say he doesn’t drive as far as some of the others due to size.
Fred owes ISU nothing. His kids really don't owe ISU anything.
Who cares where the kids go to school. I wish all of the Hoibergs luck, but why does anyone give a rat's ass?

He absolutely can. That doesn't mean we can't discuss our thoughts on it. It's not like anyone (as far as I know) is sending them angry tweets or wishing them ill-will.
Oh I don't disagree with you. I just don't think the University of South Dakota needs him to be Zach Johnson to put him on a scholly. But, I digress.
Why are people even having thoughts about it? Is the assumption that because Fred went here and coached here that all of his kids will now go here as well?
True but I think he is picking a college for his career, and maybe basketball coach is more likely than pro golfer.
McIlroy and Folwer are 5-9. His height is not ideal, but it shouldn't be that big of a hindrance if he is interested in pro golf.
At 5'9", he has to be one of Izzo's shortest walk-ons ever.
I agree. I wouldn't say shunned. I'd just say that they opted out of the spotlight, because it would be pretty damn bright here for them. I guarantee as a walk on, Jack would be a fan favorite, but I can see why they would choose to go elsewhere.
The clue to the decisions of the Hoiberg kids is right in the article. No matter what, even in high school, he was "the coach's son".
Agreed. We'd like to say and think we wouldn't "treat him any different than any other player" but eventually there'd be a forum on here asking why Jack isn't playing.. .then a forum asking why he isn't as good as Fred. If my dad was a former stud player/coach at a university I'd go somewhere else too... unless I was a person that wanted the never ending attention
Height is overrated in golf. Short players actually have an advantage in their golf swing because their swing is more compact which leaves less room for error.
Which is kind of what I said in my first post which everyone jumped on like white on bread lol. Less of an issue in golf but still an issue.
Clearly, Fred still hates recruiting players to ISU.
If the twin boys end up being 6'6", hopefully Fred will do the right thing and encourage them to come play for the good guys.
