Your original quote was "In-state recruiting has been subpar at best throughout Kirks tenure here." You did not qualify it with players having offers from the blue bloods. Fryiowa's response was directly on target. You should quit while you are behind.

Just think, if we reduced Connor's minutes, our offense might actually be pretty good. Christ, we're averaging over 90 pts a game, folks. Go back and watch the NW game, there are 4 or 5 great passes made by Connor that lead to easy baskets. No one else on the team has demonstrated that they...

Keegan gets off the floor quickly. And I'm not really thinking about the 2 dunks. What stood out to me in partiruclar was a weak side rebound he had.

Once Rivals found out he was going to Iowa, they decided that he had to be Pro-style. I am only half-joking

I would love it if my Falcons take either Nixon or Linderbaum.... although I am still holding out hope that Linderbaum stays at Iowa for another year

It's not as bad as Illinois, but recruiting at Iowa is tough too. To be successful at Iowa, you have to find a fair amount of hidden gems and "coach them up". Lovie has not demonstrated that he can take lower level recruits and make them better, IMO.

It's not nearly as egregious as the NBA, but I think there is a little bit of "star treatment" going on with respect to fouls in college too. One can only hope

His minutes may not have dropped much, but he certainly we be less aggressive, and Iowa probably had to play more zone. That would explain some of it

Connor seems to have improved from the 3pt line. Nunge can hit the 3 pointer. Pull one of those big guys away from the basket.

For those of you using the Louisiana game to discredit the Clones, let me remind you there was a very good team in 2009 that needed 2 blocked FGs to beat UNI.

Doing cover songs or being influenced by other musicians is not stealing. If it is stealing, you'd be hard-pressed to find any musician who was not guilty of this. But if you want to stick with that line of thought, you should note that the Kinks first 2 albums have several cover songs. And...

Key words being "right now". It's not going to have a long shelf life.

Maybe Rob feels there is nothing to celebrate because this particular cottage industry is about to fade away

I can't believe I'm wading into this, but you are applying a population statistic to an individual person, which is not a good idea.

Would love to join you. But I think I might be in a gray area with respect to your beer-sharing line of demarcation spelled out earlier in the week. ;)
