    Day one of Ben McCollum

    They almost shot better from 3 than from the FT line. 46% vs 55%

    Advanced Iowa Stats…Pretty Interesting Stuff…

    I think the defense as a whole is solid/good. I just don't see playmakers or instinctual players that they seem to have in their best years. Maybe someone will step up in that area, but not seeing it yet.

    UDFA Higgins makes the team - Ravens

    Probably should have been a 5th rounder, but easily a 6th or 7th

    Who will be starting running back

    I actually did see flashes of something from Moulton as a freshman. Not the power of KJ, but good burst, and cuts, moving forward without dancing in the backfield. I really liked what I saw. I wasn't as impressed early with Jazz. I thought he just ran as hard as he could straight forward ...

    Trey Thompson

    I think a lot of what helped Iowa get him was that he reclassified for 2025 and Iowa had an open spot for him, where the other teams were full. Not saying they couldn't have pulled an offer or scholly to open a space for him, but that definitely helped Iowa. Good thing Ben didn't completely...

    Luka to Celtics

    I'd love to see Luka get real minutes and see what he does. Is his offense sustainable with more minutes and does his defensive liabilities make him a negative on the floor. Give it a chance and see what happens.

    Pickup Trucks

    I've got a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation, which has a 4 cylinder, turbo engine. A little less power but not very noticeable. Rides very smooth, better than a lot of SUVs and gets over 20 mpg on highway. I've been very happy with it.

    Hawk Central and Payton Sanford

    Big respect to him for toughing it out and playing. I somewhat agree that he maybe shouldn't have played so much if he was this injured. Moreso, I wish he would have adapted his game more due to the injuries. His asset to the team was more than just shooting, but was overshadowed due to his...

    Is Kevin Overton from Texas Tech

    I think Barnwell was his HS coach also, so I would think he had a hand in getting him to TT.

    Now That The Novelty Has Died Down Some...

    I think he's also factoring in defense, grit, effort, teamwork......

    Now That The Novelty Has Died Down Some...

    There's only 1,700+ players left in the portal. What are we doing?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    Honor Huff

    Looks like a good shooter and if St John's is looking, he's likely fairly good. I'm guessing Ben is still looking for bigs too, but he can't just focus on that. He needs to fill a roster and I would be happy to add Huff to give Sturtz someone to pass to for open shots.

    Can we win in the Big Ten with Drakes team

    There are still hundreds of players in the portal and several spots on the roster to fill. I will wait to pass full judgement until most of the roster is set, but getting several players from a very successful mid-major program that knows the system including one of the top players in the...

    OT: Flying Tush Push

    I agree, what is allowed regarding offsides by both teams on the tush push is ridiculous, but why not just properly enforce the rule? You can't just eliminate a play because one team is almost automatic with it. That opens up a huge can of worms if you do that. Regarding safety...

    OT: Flying Tush Push

    I disagree that it's not a football play and feel you can't whine about it when run that way and be OK with or celebrate it when an OL comes in and shoves the RB for more yards. They are both assisting the runner, legal and should stay legal in my opinion. I actually like seeing the tush push...
