Just had a text from my buddy who is a huge OSU fan. He was saying that everything is pointing to Nwankpa staying home. Said Iowa is getting a good one. So hopefully that turns out to be right.

I think the issue Fran has is that his bench is such a higher quality than other teams. I like the idea of putting Perkins in for JBo because he has shown the ability to drive and hit threes along with being a strong defensive player. But I also think he plays well with Ulis and I don’t see...

I was thinking the same thing. I liked the idea of Rebraca earlier this year, but he is too small against the massive posts in the Big Ten. At least when it is a conference game and the refs will allow deadly assaults in the post. Need to slowly get Ogundele minutes so he can be prepared for...

I'd add Patrick to this list as well. He has really struggled to get muscle on his frame but it looks like between last season and this season he had gained 10-15 lbs of muscle. When he was shooting free throws against Purdue I couldn't believe how big he has gotten.

Glad I already got my tickets for the game in IC. This team impressed me tonight. We will go as deep as Toussaint takes us. He is a difference maker this season. Between not turning the ball over, playing great defense and his shooting is huge. Perkins played great in his home state. Big O...

Was wondering the same thing about Michigan. They got destroyed. The little bit of the second half I saw was essentially Hunter Dickerson trying to do too much and missing badly. When your star player only plays 18 minutes and scores 4 points it isn’t going to end well for you.

Also second currently in the KenPom POY ranking. Only behind EJ Liddell

I would start the game with Petras, only because he has a better feel for the playbook and a better arm when he has a good pocket. When (not IF) that DLine starts teeing off on him, then it would be a good time to switch to Padilla. Our offensive line has looked better but not faced anything...

I don't think Lindell will be as good this year as people thought he would be. He is only 6'7, just really physical for his size. I think the ability to put Keegan, Kris or Filip on his will slow him down. Now the bigs for Michigan, Illinois and Purdue will eat us alive.

Toussaint has 6 turnovers in 7 games. If someone told me that before the season I would of said he had to of been benched or injured. He is playing under control but aggressive and taking good shots. Very impressed with his improvement.

They really haven’t said. Just that he has continued to impress from the spring and now as the scout team qb. Haven’t said what his strengths are just that they have heard from numerous sources he is way ahead of where they thought he’d be.

Not just Jon, Tom Kakert has brought it up numerous times on his podcast. Said Joey Labas might be the next Iowa qb.

Was a great win to build off of. Definitely some teaching moments, including for Fran and his second half lineups. There was a few times I was screaming at the tv with the lineups he had in there. Keegan needs to be more assertive but had a good game. I thought Perkins did great in the first...

This will be a good test for Iowa before Purdue. Definitely the best defensive team we have played so far. They are pretty terrible on the offensive end. Really just need to take smart shots and not get into foul trouble. If Keegan gets 20 in the first half against Virginia, he will be...

Couldn’t believe that dunk. Looked like he jumped over the guy.

I can't believe how quickly Sandfort gets his shot off. Normally guys with his size take their time setting up for the shot but he always has his feet set when he catches the pass and doesn't think twice to hoist. Extremely impressed with him so far.

This is going to be Keegan’s last year in Iowa City. He might actually break Garza’s single season scoring record. The defense has been great to see. Toussaint and Perkins make it difficult on opposing point guards, and the press with Keegan up top makes teams throw terrible passes. We are...

Yeah that 14-14 effort against OSU was huge. I think he could play with Rebraca extremely well. Both seem like willing passers and would clean up in the paint. But we will never get to see it.

I’m getting to the point I would rather have Wisconsin beat Minnesota and us take down Nebraska. OSU is on a roll and neither Wisconsin or Iowa will beat them in Indy. Being 10-2 going into a bowl doesn’t sound half bad.

As Duke stated, he lost his dad unexpectedly to a heart attack. Then the MCL injury happened. He really wanted to be closer to home. I actually enjoy watching Xavier so it gives me another team to root for. Out of all the players we lost last year, not named Luka, he probably could have...
