Ogundele is 100% to Iowa on both Rivals and 247. So that should work out well for them.

My daughter teaches at Oskaloosa High School. She has had him in one of her classes. Here is, verbatim, the text she sent me a few minutes ago:
“Don’t be upset about Xavier Foster’s choice. He’s an academic nightmare, arrogant, and has next to nothing for work ethic.”
Sounds like a perfect fit for ISU.
This is not “sour grapes” from her, either. She cares nothing about sports. About a year ago I jokingly asked her to tell Foster to go to Iowa or she will flunk him. Her reply was much the same as her text.
I hope all the best for the kid, but the NBA may not be the sure thing he thinks it is.

I really do not know the academic standards for either school, but judging by the outside, it seems like ISU might help him more with that than Iowa would. Seems like Iowa would hold their players more accountable than ISU. That's just my outside observation, is there any truth to my outside view? Other than what I've observed over the years in football and basketball, it seems that Iowa holds them more accountable.
Thoughts?
sour grapes
It's hard to say because qualitative statements that a teacher or admin has observed aren't covered by ferpa. At the very least the statement is gross misconduct#FERPA
How about we see what the NCAA Academic Progress Rating data says about the relative academics of the two programs? I just happen to know where to find the data on this matter. Maybe that would shed some light on the situation we have here.

Prohm has beaten McCaffery every year he has been our head coach.
GTFO of here with this "higher academic standards" hogwash, Hawkeyes.
If anything, we should be making the point against them.
We have some great examples to give, too. Melvin Ejim was an academic all-American. Mike Jacobson was the Big 12 MBB scholar-athlete of the year last year. We are not exactly Northwestern, but we are ahead of Iowa's "high standards."
It won't do any good. All they'll say is ISU does whatever it takes to keep players eligible even if the players haven't earned the grade even though no one believes it is actually true.Thanks!
I made some slight graphical updates, but the point remains the same.

Somebody should post this over on HR in response to their vague insinuations about Iowa's program having higher academic standards than ours.

Oh, this wasn't the one we were talking about. That dad's an idiot though. Zyklon just posted a heavily edited version of the retweet by WRNL.View attachment 68507

Sounds like he really wants his daughter fired as a teacher. Probably shouldn't be sharing that type of information.Sounds like that daughter really sucks as a teacher.
What do you think he meant by "shady characters" at ISU?
When I see blatant racism I'm going to call it out.... sorry if that offends you. Iowa fans have been using the racial card against ISU forever. All we recruit are "thugs" according to them..... meanwhile their starting five is all white.... and ours is 4 black guys and 1 white guy. You can't connect the dots there?
I'll let you search for things to support you're preconceived notion of racism.
But, but, but, we somehow commit academic fraud while Iowa honestly care about academics according to many Iowa fans.How about we see what the NCAA Academic Progress Rating data says about the relative academics of the two programs?

Except, of course, that racism is exactly what is always implied by these people
