7 years

[TritonHawkeye]

The 2013-2014 squad could mark the first team to have 2 or more 4th year graduating seniors since the 2006-2007 class. That class graduated Haluska and Henderson.

That is a window of 7 years that the Hawks didn't have multiple 4th year seniors. That is a drought that hopefully will never again be repeated.

I am sure this is not a great surprise to some but a stat that I found interesting.

Great point, Iowa can't win without good (to great) college BB players for four years. It's not like they have any pros leaving school early.

Two this year, Brommer & Gatens. Both are fourth year seniors.

Quick, someone change the title to 5 years.

This is no surprise and if you take a look at the last 15 years or so, there have been very few four year players graduate at Iowa.

IIRC, before the Lick years, Iowa had signed something like 16 or 17 freshman under Alford and 7 actually graduated from Iowa. It is kind of an insane number that got even worse after he left, which I didn't think could happen.

You need to have good (to great) college players.. unfortunately only one qualifies. (albiet Brommer needed a red-shirt under Fran and injuries have plagued his carreer)

Ha! 7, though inaccurate is much catchier than 5. Totally forgot about the big B...

Though I am guessing that too may be the longest of such a streak.

You can't count Haluska if you don't count Brommer. Haluska originally went to ISU & had to sit out a year. Haluska only played two seasons at Iowa. At least Brommer played four years at Iowa.

One thing that is obvious...I suck at creating threads!

plus 6?

plus 6?

This is the price you pay when you bring in the ultra talented players. I bet Kentucky and UNC have similar issues.

Look, I know you're just trolling, but Haluska played 3 seasons at Iowa.

This. Freshman year at ISU, then transferred and used a redshift. Then played the 2004-2005, 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 seasons for the Hawks.
