Josh has said he's limited to about 4 minute spurts in practice at this point. I don't look for him to be on the floor for 15 minutes Sunday and if he does "clank" 3 or 4 shots it's no big deal. Give the kid the same break we gave to others in the early games of the season. We know he's...

You have to love Peter's potential, however it could be argued his minutes on the floor could have cost us the game at ISU. He has demonstrated a shoot first ask questions about the situation later mentality in almost every game. He hasn't done much against better competition and his stats...

As I recall Lohaus came in with a reasonable offensive game and three point range which led to his McD's all american status, but was a liability on defense and pretty passive on the glass. I think Woody has played with toughness since he stepped onto the campus and has shown a great work...

Careful Dean...... posting logical, non-emotional thoughts about how this team might perform is venturing into new territory for most and you know how people resist change. We've still got a bunch of question marks, and my guess is most who are seeing a sure win at the Kohl center haven't seen...

I understand the late game meltdown issue but lack of a closer has been a concern before the first tipoff in the exhibition game. I don't think it's that easy to change and those who were expecting the Hawks to win all the close ones this year do have unrealistic expectations IMO. We had a...

We're still basically who we were to start the season. I checked back at my post 2 games into the year. A lot of the same questions remain to be answered. We are making progress though. What is encouraging is I do think Mike is playing at a high level now in spite of his missed FT's tonight...

JU's first real pressure game. I thought he was solid overall and will get better. I liked what Woody gave us. When Josh is ready to go I think his minutes will be an upgrade. I don't expect us to go 1-6 on FT's to close out games too many nights. Whitey had a big night and played like a...

We know White has led the team in rebounds for the last two years, but with rebounding being a key to this game I thought I'd take a quick peak at this years stats. JU has 77, Mel 67, Gabe 63, White 62, Woody 40, and Zach 35. On the defensive glass it's JU with 5.3 per game, Mel with 4.6, and...

At the end of the day it's a game. WWII was a must win. :p

Good to have a civil discussion on BB. Iowas ability to get the ball off the defensive glass will determine the result IMO. When Gabe learns to block out he'll be a true force for us. Basabe could explode and if he does you like the Hawks. Heart says Hawks, head says ISU by 7.

I think the addition of Josh pushing him for minutes will make Peter a better player. He's smart enough to understand if he doesn't get it done on defense he'll be picking splinters out of his rear end. He had a few more assists tonight and is starting to look like a teammate. I actually saw...

You can't win at UCLA, it's a football school :p. If they keep him long enough it may turn into one anyway.

I agree we need Josh this year, if he's ready to contribute. If we're going to be 1/2 way through the league before he's really ready to go full bore then I wonder. Mac seemed to be saying 10 days. What have you heard about his recovery? Peter is a talent and he has shown huge potential...

Obviously a big get for the Hawks, but as exciting is the start we are now off to in the 2015 class. If we could get a "twin" commitment soon I would think we could be on the road to one of our strongest classes in Kirk's tenure. It sounds like 2014 could be ending on a strong note as well...

As impressive as White was as a freshman with his BB IQ, Peter is at the opposite end of the scale. He has significant talent and will do well, but he's got a lot to learn from shot selection, to defense, to game situations and on and on. I don't expect him to make much of a contribution this...

I expect him to be stronger with the ball next year. In the heat of the battle he can look at little soft going after rebounds and with another year he'll be a real force IMO.

I don't know how a talent like Dawson can disappear like he does. I wonder if the flu is running through the entire team, but the kid who was to have been out has probably been their brightest light.

Minutes will be based on match up's and who's hot on any given night. The ability to defend will play a larger role as we get into league play as we have a lot of people who can score but not necessarily create. If he's healthy I think Oglesby has an important role to play. When we go cold...

It looked to me like we were making a concerted effort to run guys off the three point line and couldn't handle their big one on one. I'm more concerned with the defensive rebounding then I am with the defense.

Benet junior QB Jake Beneventi had a second visit to Iowa and was quoted in the Sun Times Monday as having the Hawkeye's high on his list. "My favorite part was seeing Iowa on game day and the atmosphere at Kinnick Stadium. I think Iowa's offense is a great fit for a pro-style quarterback."...
