    Just took a look at current 247 ratings

    Iowa is currently rated 43 With Freeman and Harding. Clones since they just picked up 5 star Billew are in at #3. Already had #32 PF Momxilovic. The guy can recruit They are not to strong on our chances with the big Kid from out East. Looks like Fran will just have to develop More players

    WOW got Procter

    Was rereading post this morning and was reminded as to how you admonished me for spelling Protor with an e (It’s spelled Proctor. Should probably get that right now that he’s a commit.) Then happened to notice on another post that you posted the first name of our long time coach as Kurt...

    WOW got Procter

    Gee wiz I had no Idea my post would generate such a response. Of course the misspelling was not meant to be disrespectful in any way. In regard to the NIL i was just reporting what I heard as LeClaire kindly reported I must say I am grateful to have such a fine administrator as Fryowa to...

    Will Big Ten Change Championship game

    Sounds like the Pac 12 is going to allow teams from the same division to play in Championship game. I would guess big Ten will follow as the divisions are clearly out of balance. 8-0 in championship games and likely not to be different in future. wont help Iowa's chances of plying in the game...

    So what do "Student Athletes" think about the NIL

    Wonder if anyone has asked players that won't be involved with the NIL lining up along some player who is making a pile of money? Just a question not intended an editorial comment

    Big Men in Portal

    Fry is right NIL is here to stay. How it changes College athletics is still to be determined but it clearly will. Fry has trouble with some of the posts. Of course not all can be brilliant like his post in response to Cyclone Tyrese Hunter going in the portal...

    Big Man Iowa Contacted

    Interesting post FryIowa. Here is what you said about my suggestion that the NIL and Portal was going to change things in the "Champoinship Cheaters" post "Then find a different sport. It ain’t changing and no one here wants 50 threads about NIL and the transfer portal. Pickleball is on FS2...

    Womens Wrestling some questions

    First let me preface this with the acknowledgment that I am not a wrestling fan. I am supportive of equal opportunities for women's athletics. In that context I have a couple of thoughts and questions Iowa is the only power 5 school to have Women's wrestling and i think only 2 other University...

    NCAA Title Game Ticket Price

    according to reports have plummeted to record lows after Duke lost. Went from like $130 to $30. Of course Duke with coaches last game would have been a great match-up but a bit surprised the interest dropped that much Just thought it was interesting

    Championship of Cheaters

    North Carolina and Williams cheated for years with athletes taking bogus classes. They got off with a very minor penalty because apparently the bogus courses were available to the general student body as well as athletes plus its North Carolina. I guess if every one cheats its OK Kansas has been...

    Josh Ogundele in the transfer portal

    Have to agree with you Fry which I don't always do but the portal has changed everything and the NIL may make even bigger changes (yet to be determined) My biggest concern is Iowa is pretty much a one way street at least so far. We got Rebracha a mid major type of player and are losing a lot...

    Joe Toussaint in the Portal

    I will kind of miss him He could make a great play especially on the defensive side and the next time he could drive the lane at 100 MPH come to a sliding stop and watch as the other team went down for a slam dunk (with that look on his face as if to say what happened) He always appeared to me...

    Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, Villanova

    Anyway all four can lose? I just can't find one to get behind. Normally one in our Area like Kansas but they are cheaters and get away with it.

    Iowa Basketball History

    Joe Williams coach of Jacksonville team that beat Iowa in the tournament in 1970 dies. Still remember Pembrooke Burrows tipping one in at the buzzer on a shot from almost half court that came off with a thud to beat us at the buzzer 104-103. And that was long before the 3 point shot. What a...

    Tournament low scoring poor shooting

    Just watched most of the Houston Villanova game. What poor shooting. I think Houston was like 1 for 19 from 3. I realize good defense being played but there were a lot of good shots missed. Seems to be the theme of the tournament all the way back to Iowa shooting so poorly after being such a...

    Iowa’s March Madness Problem is Worse Than You Think

    I hate to beat this to death and this will be my last thought but I dont understand your thinking sometimes. I'm not sure hiring Hayden and Lute was 100% luck and they certainly were not big time winning coaches. Maybe it was a good athletic Director who could see traits that could be...

    Iowa’s March Madness Problem is Worse Than You Think

    So how is it that Iowa State makes the sweet 16 3 times in last 12 years as well as win a number of conference tournament championships? I look for them to do it in the future. Was Baylor always a power house. they are now Do they have great tradition? Has Gonzaga always been a power house?
