Koen Entringer to Louisville, someone explain that one to me. I thought for sure he was following Woods to MSU since he is from Michigan.

I think it's pretty simple.
He's worth more to Louisville than Iowa.
Excellent player. Clearly liked by teammates.
Valuable to Iowa, but not a difference maker.
To Louisville, he could be difference maker.

I don't think we should feel let down. As someone pointed out, he didn't mislead fans. The dude went and played in a meaningless bowls game. Maybe he was taking one last shot at improving his status. Or maybe he just wanted to finish out his season, cause evern under these new rules that's the right thing to do, even if most don't.

Some reporting that it was driven at least in part by an agent. Sometimes it is whoever has the kid's ear at the time.

Brown recorded 93 tackles combined across two seasons with the Dukes. He is listed at 5-foot-10 and 193 pounds and will come to Iowawith two seasons of eligibility remaining.

According to a couple podcasters they said Brown and Diaz were their top targets since the portal opened. Also said they don’t believe they are done with obvious needs at P and LS. Also saw they were targeting a RB from an FCS school with 2-3 years left

Expected but still sad. With all the turnover in defensive players this year, it would have been preferred to keep guys like Allen & Entringer. It's hard to replace that much experience at the beginning of next season. Next man in.

True or not true, there's got to be more to the story. It makes more sense than just leaving for a mediocre team.
