Loess I think it is time for you to take a break from Iowa basketball and from posting anything for a while! You posts have no value other than to be negative. I have no problem with differing opinions as long as you can provide some back up other than "I have coached for a long time".

Do you know anything about basketball?! He leads the team in points (Malloy and him have almost identical point totals), rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. Imagine this team without McCabe. How effective would they be if the double teams would shift to Malloy?

I consider it a defection the minute Tucker let his teammates down this year following last years let down. Tucker made his own bed in this situation. It is very appropriate for Lickliter to sit Tucker and make him prove he really wants to be a positive contributor to the team. That may have...

After watching the Indiana vs OSU game on BTN it looks like Indidana and Iowa are going in different directions. Indiana looked very lethargic and lacked intensity. Iowa has been the opposite. The Hawks are playing with a ton of energy and intensity. I think that is a tribute to the players and...

Agreed. A nomination doesn't mean much more than you are a top 30 kid in Iowa.

All 4 of Iowa's 2010 recruits were nominated.

Are you kidding me! The talent level in the Big 10 is as good as it has ever been. The players are big, strong, fast and very skilled. The basketball being played out there is very competitive and physical. I was on the floor last night and it us unbelieveable how skilled and physical the...

Let's not group all traveling teams under the same umbrella. There are very respectable traveling team programs and there are some very shady programs. Programs like 43 Hoops, Rising Stars, Kingdom Hoops, Dakota Schoolers etc. are very respectable programs and have respectable people running...

I believe the date is Feb 6th not Feb 2nd

This shows you that the recruits we have coming in for 2010 can compete against the top tier Big Ten recruits.

I agree that getting 4 solid recruits to go with the existing team, (who by the way, outside of AT, are busting their butts and giving everything they have to turn this program in the right direction) is why the statement of "wait until next year" is different from previous years. Next year...

I have a novel idea. How about we just get more butts in the seats at CHA. These players deserve a little support and it is time for the "fans" to show up and do their part in helping turn this program around. Indiana had a terrible year last year and quite honestly won't be great this year...

Ben Brust if fully aware of what he is getting into along with the rest of the recruits. They understand the challenge ahead of them and unlike a lot of you on this site see the "opportunity" to play in the Big 10 and help turnaround a storied program that is struggling.

I do know however that if Ben was only scoring 10 per game you would be highlighting that in a negative way! If a kid scores 50 it means a couple of things. 1) he is a scorer! (maybe not 50 per game in college but he is a scorer) 2) He is a hell of lot better than the kids his own age which...

Hey Ghost Are you always a JA or just today. If you read my post I did not say the 4 recruits alone would propel the team to the top of the Big 10. I said that their skill and mental attitude combined with current players like Gatens, Cole, May, Payne and Coughill allow them to be a top...

I agree 100% that Iowa fans are not acting like "true fans"! "True fans" don't just show up when the team is winning. "True fans" understand they have a role in recruiting and maintaining the current players not running them off with criticism. If everyone wants to argue that the negative...

All 4 of the 2010 recruits are kicking some *** this year. They all seem to be playing with a sense of urgency and toughness that will really help the Hawks moving forward. I look for next year to be a vast improvement from this year but 2011-2012 to be the year when the Hawks get back into...

Where have you been hiding? I don't think anyone is arguing that the program is not in shambles. It is obvious the downward slide has been going on for a while. Alford did a good job of hiding the free fall. This is the year it will hit bottom and then we build from here. The rebuilding...
