    With JBo coming back into the fold next year do you foresee Toussaint having issues going back to the bench? If the rules do change allowing players to transfer without sitting out I'd hate to see Toussaint take the demotion as an insult and seek a transfer. Thanks.

    OT: Top 5 NBA career backup centers last 20-30 years.

    My NBA watching started late 90's so my answers will reflect that. Right off the bat I'm thinking Mehmet Okur. He was huge in Detroits run to the title. Brad Miller for the Sacramento Kings is another.Alonzo Mourning came off the bench for the Heat when Shaq was there. This was an interesting...

    Evelyn Expectations

    If JBo is out I think Evelyn starts alongside CMac to begin the year. We'll see if Fredrick takes over at some point but I really like the potential of Evelyn.

    Lineup

    I don't understand all the hate for CMac. There's a reason why he closed out a lot of games over Moss. He's a solid player. He just finished his freshman year and is only going to improve.

    Does anyone find this less than encouraging?

    I'd be shocked if he came here. He's looking for greener pastures.

    Nunge

    At what point do you sacrifice some shooting/size, an area we are not lacking in, for more defense, our main deficiency?

    Nunge

    I wish Nunge would have redshirted. Redshirting him would have simplified the rotation. He's just not ready for B1G. Throwing him out there to guard guys like Bates-Diop is silly. Wagner and even Uhl are better options at this point merely because they can defend these athletic wings.

    Howe: Ohio St. Latest Team to Expose Hawkeyes

    I can't agree more and to make matters worse one of our most athletic/versatile players hardly sees the court. If there was ever a game Wagner could be of use this was it. I don't get it. I thought Fran was loyal to his players?

    This is gonna be a LOOONG season

    We need to see what we have in Dailey. I think Moss will find his game but at this point Brady should not be playing over Dailey.

    Time to grow up, Fran...

    I love Fran's passion but I do think he needs to choose his battles a little more wisely. At that point in the game, momentum starting to shift, a technical is counterproductive. I'd much rather see a timeout and see him challenge the players rather than the refs.

    Hawkeyes Picked 8th By B1G Media

    It seems like Maryland is getting overlooked. I think Huerter will be one of the biggest surprises this year, he's got all the tools to be a 15/5/5 player.

    One Last Time: Starting 5

    I'm hoping for Wagner over Baer. I just think he brings more defensive versatility. I look at it like, would you rather have Baer or Ahmad matched up against Miles Bridges?

    Hawkeye men's BB current player rankings...

    Wagner is probably our best offensive rebounder and not to mention one of the strongest SOBs in the B1G. His versatility on defense alone makes him very valuable.

    Hawkeye men's BB current player rankings...

    1. Cook 2. JBo 3. Baer 4. Moss 5. Pemsl 6. Garza- Might be reaching here but Garza should be able to impact the game immediately. 7. Wagner 8. Ellingson 9. Kreiner 10. Uhl 11. Williams 12. Nunge- On potential he'd be top 5 but needs time. 13. Dailey- He could certainly jump up this list but...

    Winners & Losers from Overseas Trip

    He's by no means a loser but it looked like JB struggled a little. Based off box scores I'd guess his 3pt % was around 30.
