Here are a few notes:

All of Iowa’s current roster will enroll in summer classes and compete in the Prime Time League, McCaffery said. Three of Iowa’s five incoming freshmen*— Mike Gesell, Anthony Clemmons and Kyle Meyer*— also will take summer courses and play in the PTL.

It’s undetermined if Adam Woodbury will compete in the PTL this summer. Woodbury, a Sioux City East graduate, is one of 24 players competing for a spot on the 12-member USA Basketball men’s U18 national team. If Woodbury makes the squad, he won’t attend summer classes or play in the PTL, McCaffery said

Training camp is held June 5-12 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. The team will compete June 16-20 in Sao Sebastiáo do Paraiso, Brazil.

Guard Patrick Ingram will not attend summer classes. He’s scheduled to play in a pair of Indiana-Kentucky all-star games, the first on June 8 in Louisville and the second on June 9 in Indianapolis.

“That will preclude him from going to summer school,â€￾ McCaffery said.

Ingram, who competed for Indianapolis’ vaunted North Central High School, also plans to play in a sanctioned summer league in Indianapolis this summer.

Iowa has one basketball scholarship available for this coming year, but it’s unlikely the school will use it at this point.

“There’s nobody right now that we’re really thinking about,â€￾ McCaffery said. “There’s always a possibility, but nobody’s scheduled to visit.â€￾
 


I wish Ingram was going to be in town...he is one that is most likely to redshirt anyway,and this might add to that possibility.
Otherwise,it all sounds good. I doubt that Adam makes that team,with the stiff competition from college kids as well as highly rated HS grads,so he probably ends up in IC and playing in PTL.
 


I hate Fran's positive attitude and how he tries to pump up his players...I'll believe it when I see it...

Just thought I'd get that out there to save some typing for some of the more negative posters...
 


I dont know how many more times Fran can pimp us fans full of sh!t. Clearly he doesnt know what hes doing.

So, whining about the whiners makes you a positive poster?

I think it's going to be a great rivalry between Gesell and Clemmons- good to see it start this summer. Hopefully, Woody gets a start on his tan in Brazil before going to Cancun this fall. Also, might be a positive for Meyer to get a chance to shine without Woodbury in IC. Of the current roster, good to hear Marble will be here for the summer coaching as I heard he might be doing a league in MI. Maybe he still will be in July-Aug.
