Bailey had multiple hand surgeries and still made R12. Not sure about the stance of “meh you’re out” with him. At the very least, I don’t think you can group him in with Williams. Completely different, IMHO.
If the hand and fingers is some type of genetic condition as has been posted, I'd be out on him. Strong healthy hands matter too much in this sport. Plus his effort level in parts of the season and in the final day or two of the tournament was not good.

Thanks for the insight Corby, we appreciate the inside info.
I can tell you with confidence that Corby has very solid information. And, things do change. Novak was a strong lean to ISU just like Garvin is too.

But, things change. Will Garvin now go to NCST with Hidlay?

A strong lean is not what he said.

That is exactly why no one with any knowledge wants to post on here anymore. What Gobblin went through over Spencer was beyond ridiculous.

As much as I would love for the board to be a fount of insider knowledge, I COMPLETELY understand why no one wants to anymore….
Not the same thing at all. Goblin didn’t give a prediction about something in the future that ended up falling through. He stated that Spencer was in his car, at that actual moment, driving back to Iowa. There’s a difference between a prediction being wrong and factually lying about current events. I can only hope he has since apologized to the Lees.

Did this really happen? I thought he was just the classic guy who does get some info but then stretches the truth and/or blurs the line between info and a prediction then deflects when his “info” proves to be wrong. We certainly saw that several times over the years.

If i recall, gobblin wasnt actually at nationals but that is what he was told by someone there that he felt pretty confident in. He reported it as fact and it obviously turned out to be wrong. He was/is as much of an insider as anyone but got that one wrong and lots if folks couldnt get over it.

Actually, didn’t he say that is what he HEARD from people he trusted? I am pretty sure he didn’t state it as fact…

I believe "things change" was what we heard with Bouz too

We know where he's NOT going.

Give him a break he gave you an inside piece of info no one else was reporting. Also you should be happy ISU isn’t getting a 4th place finisher who probably majors Iowa in next years dual and afterwards you call for a new 197 and head coach.

Whatever you suck and always did and are one of the reasons you guys will be getting zero Iowa information from me.
Don’t kid yourself. You’ll be giving inside info in no time because you like the attention. It’s your way of getting validation.

Yep thats why I'm all over social media 😂😂 I don't post on X or anywhere but forums. All the randoms make me feel so validated.
