Heck no. He went and waved at kids in the Children’s Hospital, probably.

I can’t confirm this, but it also sounds like he showed up at Iowa 40 pounds heavier than his playing weight at Bama, and when told he needed to lose the weight pushed back a bit. Again, cannot confirm that, but that is what I have heard from a few different sources.
Have you watched Iowa at all the last couple of year? Iowas line hasn't been a lot better than anybody lately. Wow.
He’s gotta stay in college for at least 2 more years to be draft eligible. Well i guess he could take a year out of school and…? I don’t see where you’re all getting that he’d only be in Ames (long shot to happen IMO) for one year.
He’s using his one free transfer year already and would have to sit out if he transferred again. Which also makes me ask — so he used his first transfer to Iowa and would’ve been able to play immediately in 2024 games. Even though he’s planning to transfer before the 2024 season begins, does that still count as his “freebie”? Related, if he returns to Alabama does he still have his free transfer to use if he wants after next season?

There are no more transfer sits right now. Courts shot them down.
Amazing how that happens after they sent their strength coach packing with a 7 figure severance package. Probably just a coincidence.
Certainly Iowa's offensive line is better than Iowa State's historically.
But here's a fun fact: Despite Iowa State's pitiful rushing game the past two years, in both years Iowa State averaged more yards per carry than Iowa.
I heard he left because Saban retired. Not sure if he met with DeBoer or not but ended up committing to Iowa. Goes on spring break with some former teammates from Bama and decided he wanted to return. I'm not going to bag on the kid. He's only 19 or whatever. Probably has no clue what he wants. If you could make a few million playing college football I think youd be pretty foolish playing for even a quarter of that at Iowa. Injuries can happen anytime. It would be nice being 21-22 with a few million to start life.
Who really thinks Proctor would be interested in ISU? It wouldn't shock me if he was on campus sometime seeing friends but that would be the only reason he would be in Ames.
Yeah, becuase we have stud running backs like Breece and Sama and their running backs are are a total joke. I was just pointing out that if he's publicly making fun of Iowa's OL then I can't imagine he'd think highly of ISU's. People are way too sensitive on here.
You might be surprised to find out that Iowa State didn't have Breece or Sama in 2022, one of the seasons I was referencing. And this season averaged more yards per carry than Iowa even after taking Sama's numbers out.
Remember these are young adults. They are free to make decisions which are in their own best interests. If a player wants to leave, so be it. I’d rather have players who want to be at ISU than those who feel trapped.
There's no question Omaha wanted to play here. In fact, I think he wanted it so badly that it negatively impacted his play. Unfortunately, he just wasn't good enough to get playing time, so now he's gonna transfer to somewhere where he can get meaningful minutes.
While Omaha was at Iowa State, he was an exemplary member of the team, and he cheered hard for his teammates. Given his incredibly high rating as a recruit and next to no playing time, he could have easily been a negative factor in the locker room, but he was the very opposite.
I sincerely hope Omaha finds great success wherever he ends up. He is deserving.
I hate to discuss UI outside the Instate forum, but Iowa’s current OL coach isn’t terribly impressive. Where they'd normally have first team all conference guys, they only have 3rd. As a group they’ve struggled since he arrived . Top recruits just vanish. So, definitely sus.
I can’t blame anyone for noticing that trend.
And frankly, ours looks to be trending the opposite direction.
Yeah, that explains how they still produce good defenses and high defensive draft picks.
Not.
C'mon though. Why would Iowa need a solid run game when they had their amazing passing game to carry them.
