Ihmir was far from a model teammate at Iowa from most reports.  Not a huge surprise, but disappointing.
Yeah, sounds like a late round chance on troubled talent.  It didn't work out, so on we go.

I think this guy makes shit up to get TwitterNation into an uproar. I don't think its legit. You might have gotten 'Sticky'd' here.
Very possible. I don't even know who that guy is. 
New guy covering the Vikings for the Athletic.  I would take it with a grain of salt as he also tweeted this:

Its a fake account. If you notice it says "The Athlete" not "The Athletic" and no blue check mark. Regardless of that he was still a turd at UI.

I can't say I ever heard of him being as bad as what was alleged here, but Ihmir suffered from a lack of humility at times, and didn't always put the team first.  I probably jumped on this one a little too quick, because I have not heard he did things that were alleged here.  His transgressions from Iowa were more of the I standing for Ihmir and not Iowa type of thing.  That doesn't make him the world's worst guy.  Hopefully, these are things are just somebody yanking our chain.  I'd rather he made the team as I think he's a talent and I still root for him.

Might be a fake account, but I can definitely see there having been an issue between ISM & Booth. I recall Booth early in camp giving him the business quite frequently, so maybe there's some validity to that.

Ihmir’s own comments somewhat back up the original tweets.  He was always a risk. i pointed these out when he was drafted.

Its 100% a fake account. "The Athlete" doesnt exist. Hes duping people by using "The Athletics" logo and a similar name. Beyond that go read some of his follow ups. He trolling people hard. Also what agent gives a quote like that about a client looking for a new team.?

He couldn’t be trusted as a punt returner because he had trouble fielding the kicks

Yep. ISM had no upside as a WRer so it was punt returner or get punted. Not sure why part of Viking Nation is getting bent about this. At least we know Reagor can field punts securely and has speed.

I trust KOC's eye for talent (for now) especially on offense. 

I suspect there was a little bit of locker room presence issues but mainly this - not enough upside as a WR and he didnt exactly excel on special teams.
