Stick-
I appreciate the concern. I was concerned too until I went up there. The fact that the DC came to Perry 3 times to meet with Will and wanted an in-home visit had me curious as to why they were going to so much trouble to recruit Will. The HC called him at home too. We had a great meeting at the school and after meeting with his position coach, I had a great feeling about his chances. You don't know Will or his drive...the fact that ISU, UNI and Iowa recruited him as a WR was a mistake in the end. He should have been looked at as a DB. Iowa is not out of picture---they will not make final decisions on their 105 roster until after spring ball and they could offer him a spot in it. They liked him as a DB, but again, only looked at him as WR until he called and said he would play DB to be given a shot as a walk-on. Not sure he would take it, but it could happen. But with the top schools in Iowa not making an offer, Will decided that he wants exactly what you said...a chance to prove them wrong. They lose 2 seniors after next season and fully expect Will to compete for playing time as a redshirt freshman either in the DB rotation or as a PR/KR where I am pretty sure you will agree with me that he was one of the best in the state over the last 3 years. As for a big fish in a small pond...don't worry. He can handle himself just fine.
As for updates, you are correct, nothing will be on Iowa PREPS as this site is for PREPS. My days on here will be over as soon as his last baseball game is over...
As for DCG---if you had a real HC, you could be a real power...the guy there now is a joke. And an even worse basketball official.
Ciao...
