Unfortunately, it's only going to get worse. Schools with big donors and big money will have their own major conference & championships before too long and the rest of them will be left out of the parties.

Apathy has turn a lot of us negative towards the men's basketball program over the past few years, myself included. I believe that coach McCollum will get this thing turned around. Even if he only grabs a couple more quality guys in the portal or HS, my excitement hasn't been this high since...

I would say the percentage for Iowa to have immediate success (top quarter of the Big Ten - in NCAA's) in year one under McCollum is 25%. As of now, he has no proven P6 players and to think a bunch of Drake players are going to get them there is crazy. I was all in on Fran being let go and...

I'm thrilled and excited with the hiring of Ben McCullom, but the way money and transfers have taken over how all of college athletics functions, I for one don't like where it's headed. There's no loyalty to a program, very little loyalty to a coach and it's basically turned into the only way...

McCullom has a lot of work to do to build the roster back up.

Now that Dix and Pryce have officially found new basketball homes and coach McCollum has brought in a bunch of Drake players, it's time to see how well he's able to recruit to the Iowa program. Money is going to be his biggest challenge, as that's mostly why we lost the best guys we had...

Pryce has officially committed to Nebraska. That pretty much wraps up the last potential Hawkeye returner worth a damn.

He was never coming back. The NIL era made sure of that.

The Hawks need to get a dude...a big dude in the middle that can rebound and block shots. I could care less if he doesn't score more than 5 or 6 points a game. Just need a presence down low.

Spurlock is joining Fran at Penn https://www.thedp.com/article/2025/04/tristan-spurlock-penn-basketball-staff-fran-mccaffery

I like a lot of what he's saying. Very thoughtful answers

Mulvey isn't coming back, committed to Siena. Fran probably helped with that.

I haven't seen any talk or information on how the Iowa Pro Day went. Anyone hear how they performed?

Bad day for Big Ten women's basketball. Iowa, Illinois and MSU all get crushed. Maryland tied up right now.

Who's going to be the leader and scorer of this team next season? Will Deal be able to handle that spotlight? I hope so, because unless Jan hits it big in the portal, this team will be lacking that big time scorer and leader. Hannah hasn't turned into the type of player some thought she would...
