I’m not saying it’s not a loss. But that is one position they can afford some attrition at in the class.I'd take him in Ames.

How does this work now that he is already signed? Does he just enter the transfer portal and that's that? If so, why even sign a NLI anymore?Iowa just lost a 2022 signee in Olando Trader. Seems like a decent loss. 6'1" 185# CB that runs a sub 11 second 100 meter. I wonder if he ends up at Michigan or Michigan State?

No, he asks for a release from LOI. Not a transfer.How does this work now that he is already signed? Does he just enter the transfer portal and that's that? If so, why even sign a NLI anymore?
It sounds like it’s up to Iowa whether they want him to go the portal route or release him outright. To me, he signed a letter of intent for a reason and he should have to go to the portal route. Otherwise what’s the point in an LOI.No, he asks for a release from LOI. Not a transfer.
Bad PR on Iowa’s end if they decline to release him.It sounds like it’s up to Iowa whether they want him to go the portal route or release him outright. To me, he signed a letter of intent for a reason and he should have to go to the portal route. Otherwise what’s the point in an LOI.

Oh they don’t care about that one bit I was just saying releasing him is a cleaner look and who cares? He’s gonna leave regardless. Might as well not try and punish the kid who’s never played a snap for you.When has anyone ever been concerned about "Bad PR" in Iowa City?
I'm all for releasing him, just didn't know what the protocol was for something like this in this day and age.Bad PR on Iowa’s end if they decline to release him.

It sounds like they released him from his LOI.Naturally the right thing to do, just never expect the "right thing" to actually happen in IC, even if they claim they do things the "right way".
I think it’s more of Iowa has just done it longer where it’s a little more wait and see with Campbell to some people. I am not one of those, I think Campbell is a really good coach. The issue is finding the developable players only gets you so far. At some point you have to land the more premium talent to go to the next level.
The LOI is basically pointless other than it takes some work to get released from it. ISU lost a BB player that way under Prohm. If a kid wants out, he's going to get out of it. The school can't force him to go there and not releasing him turns into a mountain of bad PR.It sounds like it’s up to Iowa whether they want him to go the portal route or release him outright.

He will be released if he hasn't been already. No schools are going to do that.It sounds like it’s up to Iowa whether they want him to go the portal route or release him outright.

Saw that......I thought it was too late to enter the portal?.....or was that just basketball?Charlie Jones in portal?

Big hit to a thin receivers group. Kakert tweeted to keep your eyes on Purdue… Makes no sense for Charlie in my opinion. Try and relearn a playbook in a summer?Think he is a grad transfer so portal doesn't apply, I believe.

I get that. I just find it hard to believe he’s going to get more balls at Purdue not even knowing the playbook. He very well might. Purdue did lose their top 2 receivers from last year.Other than Purdue actually uses their WR's
