The word "commit" is not just a throw away word. The recruit should weigh all their options and not be so quick to rush to a decision if they aren't totally sold on a school. Once you make that decision, you should stick by it and be true to the school you committed to. It all comes back to loyalty and when you continue to look elsewhere, what does that say about that person? Show Less

We are not Alabama, most schools have this policy!

Jeff Ingwersen

Recruiting must stay withing the controls of the NCAA and College Football Coaches... If the recruits are allowed to start dictating the process then the system becomes broken.

Josh Steinhoff

Yes. I believe the word commit means forever. If the athlete is not willing to commit, then they should wait.

Iowa just lost a 4-star recruit. That kind of talent doesn't always make it's way to Iowa City, so they need to capitalize when they get it. Not to mention Eno Benjamin was instrumental in getting a few additional recruits to Iowa and that could cause a trickle-down effect. Our loss is someone else's gain and it might just come at the hands of another Big Ten opponent. Get rid of the outdated policy. Show Less

It is outdated and if KF really wants good playmakers and not average Joe's then he going to have to make this change.

Verlan Jansen

This kid is a big talent and he helped us get other big talent! If looking around is so bad, why are we looking at kids that have committed to other schools? Doesn't make sense to turn down that kind of talent when it's so hard to find!!!!

Curtis B

If Eno was a "lean Iowa" or a "soft commit" or a "silent commit" he could have visited other schools without issue, but because he was "committed" he wasn't? It just doesnt make sense. These are 17 year old kids.

Ted Ingwersen

Iowa has a policy against their commits visiting elsewhere, but are more than willing to keep recruiting and will have visits from commits to other schools. I am sure this has happened before, this case is just the highest profiled instance. Which is it Iowa? Make a change.

Seth Koerner

No commitment should be considered 'solid' until the paper is signed. Let him look. If Iowa's staff/facilities are as good as advertised, the recruit will gravitate back.

As of now he's the #2 guy in Detroit. CJ is 3rd in San Fran. As far as sneaking into a game goes due to injury or whatever JR is closer. But as far as winning a starting gig goes I think both are a long ways away from that.

Wins games at the foul line. Period

Max Stanley

Curt Rambis and Phil Jackson weren't MVP's. Jok is a consistent player and a real drawing card for the opposition while on the floor. Not a spark plug.

Jonathan Curtis

I love baers energy and enjoy watching him play but Jok is a premier scorer and you just can't top that in a player. You can get find guys who play will passion and spark the team. But great scores can't just be mustard up.

Ryan Vogt

This shouldnt even be a poll. Baer is great but without Jok (yes, I know he was out 3 games against bad teams) there is no way Iowa has 15 wins.

Underrated, tremendous heart, big hustle.

Seemed like we played better as a team when jok was out

Joey Lang 2

He is much more vital to the future of the team only being a sophomore and Jok a senior.

Gabe Pyle

It's not even just the games. With this young team he brings the intensity to practice every game that makes everyone around him have to step up their level of play. It'd be easier with this group to replace Joks scoring then Baers intangibles to me. Scoring hasn't been the issue for this team

Sean Neugent

He has the heart of a champion and motivates all the players around him to be better. You can't coach the passion that Baer brings.
