Circumstances, for all these kids are different, so maybe he has a good personal reason to go back home, but then leave again. I'd never blame a recruit for transferring, if family circumstances are at play. Also, they are 17-19 YO's. That said, I do think these early/pre-Spring ball transfers are weird. It looks like he was on Iowa's campus (but someone indicated he did not enroll in classes??, that's weird). So now he heads back to Bama enrolls in the summer for conditioning and fall camp?
I still think these transfers are strange. If you are on campus, why not go through the winter conditioning and get the Spring ball reps, even if you still transfer? You stay in shape and get college reps in practice.
Good luck to him, but this maybe seems like a disaster in waiting. I think that I figured some of this out. Maybe Iowa did not let him enroll, since there was an NCAA violation involved with his transfer? Tampering allegations!!
