I have held off posting this, knowing given my user name it would be criticized but with some perspective it parallels to Chester's situation.
I grew up in Omaha as a huge Husker fan, my parents had season tickets since before I was born, never missed a game TV or radio, thought every football game needed a "man woman and child can that boy run" from Kent Pavelka; you get the idea.
When my signing decision came down to Nebraska or Iowa, everyone, including my parents, thought they knew which way it would go, they were all wrong.
The conversation with my dad was the most difficult discussion we had ever had and it was not easy. That said, I had no idea, for my dad (and mom) that would be the easiest part of the decision.
I chose Iowa for very sound reasons; better coaching, better support staff, better conference/competition, better history, better development, etc. For where I was at athletically, and where the two programs were, it was a no brainer for me.
My dad was crucified by friends, coworkers, neighbors, even family members when signing day occurred. The first year or two was brutal for him and I am sure I don't know the half of it. By the time I was a junior my dad saw why I had made the decision I had and that it was the right call and eventually everyone around him either realized the same thing or gave up the fight.
This was obviously not football and I can only imagine that my dad's experience pales in comparison to what Clester has gone through. One thing I have learned as I have aged is that what is/was good for the parent may not be what is best for the son. Keagan made the decision that was right for him. Clester may or may not have had anything to do with it but to automatically assume he had an axe to grind is wrong, he may have been crushed when he went to Iowa but at the end of the day it was Keagan's decision to make, not Clesters.
