    Iowa picked 9th next season

    With Matt gone the defensive focus will be on White and Marble. They probably won't put up numbers much different than this year. Hope lies in Gesell getting the ball to the right spot in a timely manner so everyone contributes. We'll be balanced with different people being the guy depending...

    I think Basabe kills it next season

    I would not be too surprised not to see much of change in the numbers for Basabe. That may not mean he didn't bust his butt or he's not significantly improved. There will be more viable options at the 5 and if Roy Dev moves to the three the four could get clogged up a bit too. We've got a...

    Aaron White's season...

    As excited as I am about the future of the Hawks I get a little concerned when we all start to project and evaluate players on their numbers. Next year hopefully our front line rotation is considerably different. As many have pointed out we will have true front court depth for the first time in...

    what do we really lose when gatens (and other seniors) leave?

    HawkI is right on as far as the stat sheets go. We can and should expect Marble, White, Basabe, and McCabe put up bigger numbers. Greg and May should be improved. We're a decent foul shooting team and some of the younger guys have been there and done that at the end of games now which...

    Fran offered a 2012 guard.

    He seems to be pretty athletic. I could see him being a good fit but would like to know what his 3pt % is. There wasn't alot showing his ball handling skills but I'm sure Fran is comfortable or he wouldn't have offered. I hope this is not a grade related back up offer, but if it is he'd be a...

    what do we really lose when gatens (and other seniors) leave?

    I think we all believe we have a point guard coming in that can give us what Bryce did this year, hopefully more. And lets not forget that Bryce has been hurt and what he gave us last year. We still push the ball best when Bryce is in the game even though we all cringe at the turnovers...

    Gesell and Ingram

    Michael was a totally different player then Stokes. I think the Meyer to Michael comparison is not that far off from what little I've seen. I don't think Meyer has a big time inside game and Michael sure did not. I know Meyer is pegged as a 5 but I wouldn't be surprised if he's a better 4...

    RB Tevin Shaw per TOS

    You almost wonder if the coach didn't advise him to wait and see what else might show up and then when the ship sailed he wants to place the blame on the Iowa staff. I have no clue what happened, but if the guy has sent many players to D-1 schools he probably knows that schools have signing...

    how big would the meltdown be...

    I don't know that anyone said White was slow or unathletic. I just think he will play more 4 than three based on who we have. We do have some defensive issues against the dribble drive and I'd tend to agree that would not be his strong suit against quick threes. I do think he'll deal 4's a...

    CJ Beathard is OURS!

    Two thoughts. One with input (assumed) from an NFL GM Iowa is deemed a good fit for his grandson. Two no Vandy offer for a Nashville QB has me going.....why? With Vandy it could be purely grades or maybe they a stacked at the position. He looks like a good fit for our system and has...

    how big would the meltdown be...

    I think the meltdown in the Lick era was when we lost Smith, Kelly, Freeman etc. who we saw a key pieces to build on. I think Mel is a good talent, but he needs to step it up. Right now he's not the building block the others were when they went. If he were to go I would not be nearly as...

    For the Vandenberg Bashers

    JV reminds me of a streak shooter in basketball. No one has brought up the Pittsburg game in this thread. When he's on a roll he's pretty darn good. His stats are good. He has had Marvin and a running game, but he's more than good enough to keep the defense honest. I think Ricky had more...

    No need to worry about Detroit or Albuquerque

    The big thing about any bowl game IMO is the extra practices. Two years from today no one will care what bowl we played in (cause it's not going to be a big one). We need the development time for the young kids>

    My calm response to this game

    I liked what I saw from Kirksey, especially since he's a first year starter. For the first three quarters it looked like we were sucessful when we ran right and got stuffed going left. Vandy tucks and runs at the first sign of pressure. It worked out okay today, but I'm not sure it's a good...

    Karl Klug

    I was not able to watch Klug last night as Chicago felt it was necessary to see the Bears and Bills. My son called fron Nashville and and was pumped about Klug putting a big hit on McNabb just after McNabb got rid of it. He might have black and gold glasses or beer goggles :>), but he was...

    If you could choose two

    Because of positions I'd say McDonald and Garmon. I want Diamond and would say he may be the highest potential player on the list, but we will get good offensive line candidates every year. We need wideouts and always need running backs. You can never too many guys who could be a game...

    OSU Vacating 2010 Victories/Sugar Bowl

    Where is the outrage about Tressel not resigning, but now retiring (to what I'm sure is a hefty pension) and the forgiveness of the $250,000 in fees? Big headline is giving up wins (which everyone knows was coming), but the real colors of the school show when they package a sweet deal for...

    EJ TWEET!!!

    A huge get IMO. A potential DT that could possibly dominate and certainly be a very good run stopper. Liked his motor from what I saw. Size wise he's ready, but should be an animal as an upper classman. If we can add a couple of top offensive line recruits this week too we would be well...

    2008 Iowa Roster Most Talented Ever??

    I don't think this senior class is as strong as what we've seen the last two years, but in looking at the spring two deeps and seeing 16 sophomores and RS freshman on them I like that the pipeline is full. Some of these kids have crawled ahead of the upper classes just based on their talent...
