Thinking about McKenna's visit got me to wondering, what are the rules pertaining to the travel of recruits for any sport.

1. Can the university pay for first class tickets on an official visit?

2, How many visitors can they pay for? Parents for sure, what about her little brother?
Remember that Chris Leak blog on ESPN? I recall him flying in on a private jet..

A school can cover round-trip transportation (no business class), lodging on campus, three meals per day for the prospect and up to three accompanying guests, and three complimentary admissions to a campus athletics event. Schools can also provide a limited amount of money to a student host for entertainment purposes and can pay for the transportation and lodging of up to two accompanying family members.

I do not believe a booster is allowed to cover private flights, but with NIL, who knows what they can get away with these days?

Culture fit (and a family feel) is what matters to the family.

Will it be Iowa or South Carolina? The dad says she might make her college choice right after the visit (maybe on the visit?).

Stuelke out (graduating), Woliczko in?

I like our chances....
Culture fit (and a family feel) is what the Hawkeyes are all about.
Dare we hope? I can’t let it go.

Yep, thats what I said earlier. The fact that she said that, and that IS Iowa in a nutshell, that we are her last visit, AND that she was quoted saying, "I hope it goes the way I think it will" it reference to her Iowa visit, I just don't see how she doesn't commit to Iowa.

Hope you guys aren't getting ahead of your skis. Hope McKenna and her family have a great weekend and get another feel of "Iowa Nice".
Well, what we do know is that whatever predictions we make or hope for will have no bearing on what she decides, SO, I'll hang out there on the tips.....
