any of you have updates on Kozan? Is he afraid of leaving the area? Does CU have room for him?
We have a schollie available. Not sure if he's interested in filling it.
apparently, he is waiting on Michigan who is still trying to get Jordan Diamond (Chicago Simeon) signed on. Kozan is their fall back position and thus Kozan is "still deciding"....
And he is not now or never rally was considering CU.

What a douche bag. Iowa should tell him to go to hell. Glad he passed on CU. We don't need any prima donnas.
My bad. I blame his douche bag parents. I'd never let my kid pull that crap. He committed. What about this concept is hard to understand?
T shirt fan? What's that?
Duuuh, Daaah!
Presuming you're serious, it essentially means a fair weather fan - or a fan that roots for four different teams in the same sport.
Sounds like this Diamond kid can't choose between Auburn and Michigan, and Kozan gets to be the consolation prize.
I can't say I blame him. He wanted to go with 1 of these 2 (among others) for sometime but didn't have a commitable offer - he was being slow-played. I think the Iowa commitment was so he could protect himself and have a soft landing. I'm sure both the above schools kept telling him to be patient and he was right on the edge. I'm sure he would have signed yesterday but he knows he wants to go to these two schools and Diamond is the one who is making him wait.
No bad will here. Hope it works out for him.

Not to be harsh on the kid but I agree with DBT, Iowa should tell him to sign of find a different place to play. Pretty insulting to say that you aren't really what I want but I'll take your offer if I can't find something better. Kozan is not the second coming or a future HOF, he is a decent HS lineman.
The more I see of them the less impressed and interested I am in the Valor kids, way to many head cases.

Lighten up on the kid, he's 17, trying to make a decision that will affect the rest of his life, and he's caught between a rock and a hard place. Or, I guess, you could **** off.
Who cares.

I don't know man, I think its okay to hold out til signing day but after that it looks like a total douch move, ESPECIALLY if you've already given a verbal to a school. I guess he hasn't considered that if these two schools already feel that he's their second choice he might not get much playing time if any once he gets on campus.

I agree. And I kinda feel for the Hawkeyes -- they allocate a schollie to a player who is now "looking around" after signing day. They might have been able to use it on another player. Oh well, it'll be interesting to see how this ends.
Screw that! This is a sales process, and Iowa failed to close. They missed something about him. This is not Alex's fault, Iowa failed.

Yeah. You made your bed. NOW SLEEP IN IT! Man, I'm glad he didn't commit here.
It is but it is also a personel process. I offer someone a position with my organization and they play games with me I tell them sorry, I don't have room for you, take a hike. If I'm Iowa I pull the offer. I want someone who wants to be a Hawkeye, not someone who is only taking my offer because he can't get what he really wants.
Had he been honest up front, "I'm waiting for a Michigan offer but if it doesn't come through then I will go Iowa" then things are different but kid or not he acted like a jerk.
I agree with you, they should have pulled the offer, If they had qualified him properly they would not be hat in hand now. You have a team of mature men vs a 17 year old? The responsibility is theirs. They should have known when to walk away.

Sounds like He's "Michigan Man" material and will fit in nicely there.
Yeah, he's 17. But I'd expect he has advisers who are not.
