I submit that Tyler Smith was more versatile than either Matt or Kenyon. He actually did everything. But I like Matt, who is living up to his #86 player in the country rating. Funny how that happens...ie. the higher rated players usually play better. May is solid,so far. He needs to step up his...

When the Hawks confront a backcourt of Lucas,Allen,Summers and Luscious, we need another quick guy who can guard on the perimeter. When Eric May is isolated vs Luscious, I cringed. Brust is not the answer at pg. He is JaBo-like...nice ballhandler but not a pure pg. I still say we need to...

I actually want one more player to leave this off -season to allow us to grab a much needed perimeter ball-handler/slasher. If Brommer or Tucker leave, I will be fine with it. Anyone else...no.

My son is in his mid-twenties,just out of the Army,going to college and watches most of the Iowa football games with me, but he has zero interest in the Iowa bb games this year. He cannot embrace the non-competitive team in black and gold. It stinks, those football games are a blast.

Scoring defense is our barometer of success, clearly...nicely done Hawks!

Oregon St was 0-19 in the Pac ten the year before he took over...and he took them to a post-season title in his first year..CBI. This year they are very young,but he has nice recruits in the pipeline.

Tubby is also recruiting Marcus....which team would you want to play for today?

Compared to who in the Big Ten? NW returns everyone but Nash, and get Coble and Ryan back... IU returns everyone and has some more good recruits coming. PSU returns everyone, and has a top 75 recruit coming. Michigan only loses Sims,and has a couple top 100 players coming. Wisky loses JBo...

I agree that does not sound like a guy who is returning. Hard to argue with his decision,considering the uncertainty with the labor issue in the NFL for the 2012 season. I was hoping for his return,but he has earned the right to do what he wants,no doubt. Jon, still having posting problems on...

I also overestimated the Big Ten this year. I think they are still solid 1-7 but not really FF quality at the top...Purdue with Lewjack might have had a shot,still might,and MSU can get better,but after that...solid but not top 10 type teams. I still think 7 teams make the Dance,and maybe 4...

Interesting take on the fallout from AT's transgressions. I am just not convinced that AT is as good as many fans seem to think. He has yet to prove anything vs Big Ten conpetition. His shooting is abysmal this year,and that is by far his best attribute as a player...so what does that leave? Not...

In his two years at Iowa, Jake was a bit of a slow starter, last year probably due to his finger ligament and broken finger injuries, the year before due to his frosh status. Both years his best performances were in the second half of the Big Ten slate.

While I think Devyn Marble sounds like a good prospect, I do not think he is as good as his dad at this point and is unlikely to ever be that good. His dad was an all american in HS and college,1st round NBA draft pick and is the alltime leading Iowa scorer so there is no shame in that. I...

Lick's job is to have a plan B when stuff like this inevitably happens..instead we are down to one real guard on scholly. That is on lick.

He is underage still,right? This is truly unfortunate for his teammates,coaching staff and fans. We all know that underage kids drink at college...but he does have a higher standard to adhere to...ie..if he is going to drink,he cannot completely lose control and pass out in an alley or cause a...
