Not a surprise. Nice to see MSU didn't make the cut. Suck it, Izzo.

Nice to see no Texas either for me.

I'd prefer that they were both on the list. I know everyone thinks his recruiting hasn't picked up because he's a lock but I doubt the likes of Izzo and Smart got where they are today by backing away from challenges. If they really wanted him they'd still be there.

Maybe, but Izzo has been known to back off so as not to look like he lost out on a recruit to an "inferior" school

The actual quote from the article is:

"He's just helping me out on my game, and he's already coaching me basically," Goodwin said. "He's done that throughout the whole process. I thank God for him, and I appreciate him."

While it still sounds very favorable, it doesn't quite sound as "wow" as "He's already coaching me basically..I thank God for him"......at least not in my opinion. I still believe he ends up in Champaign.

Wasn't the general consensus that Groce was actively coaching Cliff Alexander when he was chasing him as well? I think we all remember that one specific picture between the two....

Not saying UI doesn't land Goodwin because I think they do but don't over emphasize this point

Alabama really? Did not see that one coming.

Did Bama offer to let him play football, too? I'd hate to compete with the offer of playing (or at least being on the sideline) in a national championship game.

no. Iowa and Iowa State were the only 2 schools that offered football scholarships and it didn't help.
