    Luka Garza Weighing Options While Working Out with Loaded Iowa Roster

    I'm a pessimist at heart, but I was hoping Garza would come back and we long suffering Hawk fans would finally win another B1G title and maybe even make it to another Final Four. Unfortunately, I think the scattershot approach to dealing with the pandemic is making it more and more unlikely...

    Mount Rushmore of centers 1980 to now

    Kevin Kunnert was a great center that seems to have fallen through the cracks because he played on those awful Dick Schulz teams. Averaged a double/double (16 Pts/13 Rbs) for his career here and played nine years in the pros.

    Kyle Filipowski Discusses New Offer from Iowa Basketball

    The recruits Iowa are pursuing for the upcoming years have a lot of major programs also attempting to sign them. That can be a mixed blessing. It shows that the coaching staff now feel they have a chance with these higher ranked high school players, but battling the big boys may make it...

    I think Garza will return next year

    The NBA has firmed up their draft date for October 16th. Luka now has until October 7th to withdraw his name form the proceedings. Please come back to the fold Luka. It could be that very rare momentous season for the Hawks with you on board.

    Mount Rushmore of centers 1980 to now

    Lohaus and Jepsen (The Pride of Bowbells) don't make my list. They both only scored in double digits their senior year and really didn't contribute a ton until then. Adam Woodbury never did score double digits, but started all but one game in his career at Iowa and was very good defensively...

    Are we getting too amped?

    If not this season, when? Yes, there have been disappointments before. Personally, I thought the '13-'14 and '14-'15 teams were going to be really good, but the former flamed out down the stretch and the latter ran into Gonzaga in the second round of the NCAA's, but also lost too many home...

    Which Freshman Redshirt?

    I am of the opposite view. I hope everyone BUT the Murrays redshirt, and it's because of what occurred with Olaseni. I would have loved to have him for one more year as a developed player rather than have him play a few minutes as a freshman as a raw recruit. We currently have plenty of...

    Voluntary Workouts for BB can start today!

    FWIW, Dickie V tweeted that Luka joined his teammates for the first voluntary workout. FYI / doesn’t mean @LukaG_55 is definitely going to return to @IowaHoops for 2020-21 season but he did show up today for the 1st voluntary practice in Iowa City .There is no doubt he loves playing for all the...

    Signing off HN

    Discovering that Kirk was the reverse Hoiberg was really an eye opener. If you believe DJK, that is.

    NCAA extends declaration date

    I read today that the NCAA has extended the June 3rd date for players considering jumping to the NBA this year. They've left it open for now based on the NBA's plans for actually having the draft. What we do know is that unless Luka just outright makes a decision, we may have to wait even...

    Murray Twins

    McCaffery gives the kids a say in whether they want to redshirt or not. I highly doubt that the Murrays' will want to be separated. And going by the recruiting videos, although limited, it would appear that Ogundale is the least ready to step in and play at this level.

    Who Was Your Favorite Hawkeye that Things Didn't Work Out in Playing Time

    Anthony Tucker was another kid who couldn't put his drink down long enough to stay on the court. I think he finally quit drinking and may be still playing overseas.

    Joe Wieskamp Announces He'll Pass on NBA Draft Process

    I think Luka has until June 3rd to make the decision. Way too long for us fans to wait.

    Which player will improve the most by next season?

    I went with JoeT.. I think toward the end of the season, you could see the progress he was making toward being a really fine player in the B1G. He is strong and fearless and his shot started coming around. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him wind up as at least the 2nd team All-B1G PG by...

    Murray Twins

    I'd like to see Ulis, Perkins and Ogundele redshirt unless they are so talented, they force McCaffery to play them. The Murray twins will be 20 years old this fall, so I expect them to play. I would think that it is rare to have 21 years old redshirt freshmen.

    Izzo

    It's not like this is the first time Izzo has either tried to negate or ignore sexual assault involving his players, or in one case, his asst. coach.

    Toppin Tops Garza for AP POY Award

    Some of the AP voters are so stupid, I doubt they even know what defensive metrics are. Two of the idiots didn't even put Luka on the AP 1st Team.
