Is this three teams in three years? Talking about dodging a bullet.

Far too many slow developing plays and inability work around the poor line play.

The signs of greatness will be more prevalent. The Iowa boys have their first year-round training program. Owen and Ladji are going to get bigger and stronger. All of the freshmen will be doing the same. Plenty of time to work on their games. I am optimistic.

I think we can get to the NCAAs with just the players on the roster. We're looking for depth, not starters in the portal.

Saying this makes me crazy but I think the preference for experience has become an objective that swallows the goal. This has not been the KF trend: Brad Banks, Big Nate, Jake C, Ricky Stanzi, Jake Rudock, and Nate Stanley all started in their respective second years. The alternative to...

Maybe he doesn't feel that the program is in trouble? We've had three of our program's best finishes in the last five years. KF is the same coach that hired the DC and the Spec Team coaches. The BF thing was a catastrophic hire at OC. At the time it was a popular hire, well not in the...

-Maravich only played 3 seasons This is the only comparison that is probably on point. Pete's college days were 50 years ago. Freshmen couldn't play, and Pete averaged 44.3 PPG and over 44 in each of his next two seasons, without the three. When hot, the Pistol had no real limit to his...

Still have a few friends that access inside football information. Although I read this somewhere recently, like last few days, but it seems QB is being targeted in the portal. Also, the likelihood of Hill hitting the field seems very low. Looking more at a one year QB in the portal...

Consistency is the key to Py's future. I am counting/hoping he gains that consistency next season. If so Iowa will have a good record and Payton will get drafted. Otherwise, Europe here he comes.

Payton has a much quicker release than Kris, and probably much greater range. A guy like that can sometimes find a NBA team. NBA level defense might be a problem.

Yeah, about 0% chance that Py portals, grew up wanting to play at Iowa. His little bro plays here. Py will be the show at Iowa next season. Probably about the same chance of jumping to the NBA, although if an NBA team was willing to wait a couple of development seasons. Py isn't that far...

I bought a VHR at the NBA HOF- all the video of every Wilt Chamberlain game. Unreal. Obviously, my favorite player, even though he wasn't a Celtic. He became a huge star in beach volleyball, hung out with the weightlifters on the beach a few houses down the beach from his home and he could...

Let's tighten those braids girls.

Oscar averaged a triple double on year. Wilt is the only player ever to have lead the league with a 50 ppg average, the only C that lead the league in assists and, of course, every rebounding record. The guy was just unstoppable at everything he tried. He did it all in only 12 seasons plus...

Yes, indeed. I think we need either a really good combo guard or two guards and one having the ability to play point, and handle getting the ball down court. No known reserves at guard on the roster.

The more I've thought about it the less I would welcome her addition-although deferring to the coaches of course. HVL brings some baggage. Her father has a reputation as a big nut. Yells at HVL and the coaches sort of thing. Also, we know from two transfers in two years-she's not team...

Staley is off putting, not really detestable like Mulkey but not really admirable.

That's built in to my optimism. I assume most of the freshmen will take a significant step forward. Acie Earl looked retarded as a freshman, tripping over the lines on the court. My other premise is Py reaches for an AA spot. The improved maturity, being the senior leader and his great...

A National Championship would be awesome and possibly of long-term significance.

Iowa took a lot of bad calls last night. Maybe these officials, or at least one, didn't want to be the post game conversation to be about the crew that hosed Iowa all night and then overlooked an obvious moving screen to create a U Conn win? The rules apply for 40 minutes. All that I ever ask...
