If he wants to go back to EICC, he could play juco ball and transfer there to avoid being restricted by CPR and staff. Just a thought. Not sure he even wants to go there or if Iowa is even interested.
Charlie Rogers transferred to IWCC?

I think isufbcurt nailed it. Wasn't happy about last year. Transfer to IWCC, play one year, then transfer to a major BCS Conference. The chance is there the way IWCC gets recruited.
I'm not sure what's going on, but he was 14th on the team in tackles as the nickel, ahead of some of the other part time players...

Well, obviously he got beat out at CB. He saw some time at NB, but Brackens took a majority of snaps at SAM except for when they went to multiple DBs, which wasn't as often as in the past due to Brackens' mobility. I figured that he would get a shot at Safety this year. But they brought in two JUCOs. I really don't know how much he would have played next year...he would have been in the competition for sure, but only if he was at Safety. Oh well. They're going to need Cotton, Cotton-Moya and Syrie to step up and provide competition for the JUCOs now.
Isn't this the guy that Rhoads says chased after him as he was leaving an event, during a time when Rhoads wasn't supposed to talk to recruits, but he wanted to commit to Rhoads in person right then and there?
So, why do you think the coaches didn't play him more? I also recall them speaking very highly of him and always thought they still had big expectations for his future.
Indeed. That was some very effective stalking. As I recall, many of us were quite dismissive of the rumor back then.
As was Charlie.
Two senior starters at safety, perchance?
I know that they really, really needed him at nickel, with Jared Brackens' big issue being that he struggles in coverage.
Good find. After seeing this, I wondered why Iowa never offered him being a hometown boy? Maybe their high school coach knew something back then?

If he transferred to another DI school he would have to sit out. This way he can play 1 year at JUCO then go back to D1 for 2 years. JMO but I think it is a smart move on his part.
He played quarterback in high school, and Iowa had a four star safety from the east coast committed.
1 decommit after major coaching changes. Not commits. They have returnees and commits that equaled 89 we only got 85 spots and we are.signing 3.more so we are going to here about a few more now or this spring that won't come back.
This isn't true. He graded poorly in the UNI game. I know the kids family. I went to ICW and know a lot of.people he knows. He got moved to nickel because he would see more action there after they opted for Tribune. The smoke last year was real albeit the coaches convinced him to stick it out. Randy Riener's son (iowa qb) walked on and was good buddies with Charlie from West which think made it easier for him. Wouldn't be surprised if Rieners kid is at iwcc too now.

Seems like the kind of guy that will wind up at UNI and make a huge impact there. Benny Sapp comes to mind when I look at Charlie Rogers. All the athletic ability in the world, just not getting it done on a larger stage.
