They should play this game every other year at most and use the alternating dates to play another P5 opponent. Each 4 year atete WOD get 1 home and 1 roadie shot at 'lil bro.

So 'lil bro didn't look good in week 1. We've seen that before. When will Iowa fans learn that doesn't matter AT ALL. They will be ready to play vs big brother. They have an extra week of prep and likely spent almost no time prepping for UNI instead focusing on their second opponent. That may be...

Clowns 3-0 at half. To be fair Iowa was only up 3-0 at half last year and won 33-7. I'm sure ISU is trying to show as little as possible to Iowa.ooksike they'll need to do more than they hoped. I mean UNI is no Drake.

The offense doesn’t need to improve much. They scored 31 ppg last year. An improved running game even if only slightly would be huge if all other aspects are on par w last year (WRs better neutralizes natural regression from historic TEs). A more balanced attack will help in those close games...

It’s easy to “rebalance”. Just switch PSU and PU. Done. Whichever division has OSU will be stronger. The “east dominance” has largely been because of OSU.

One huge upgrade at the 2 is having both guys be true combo guards. Both Bakari and CJF are legit combos (Bakari leans more toward a 1 and CJF toward a 2). The ball handling and movement should be much improved on the perimeter. Add in that JW is a year senior and the likely 3 backup is PMac...

I couldn’t agree more with this. One thing I will add. I think PMac could fill the energy, long, do everything tweener off the bench role that Baer filled. If he does, Iowa needs a little less from the aforementioned 4.

KD has tried to claim he’s under 7’.

Nunge could be a JU level shooter...and defender.

Yeah, Bruce Nelson was a first team AA and 4 year starter.

The defense should be markedly improved. Nunge has huge Uthoff level defensive upside. Any of the sg options should be a defensive effort upgrade over Mossand at the 1 you’ll have either a healthy JBo (unlikely) or someone with more defensive size or rep. You would expect LG and JW to hold serve...

Exactly. His ceiling is having some of the best attributes of Gessell and JBo. His floor is a bench guard with high energy that can score multiple ways. FM hasn’t had bench guards like that. Add to that that he’s likely a 4 year guy that will stick it out and wants to be at Iowa.

The logic is if he does all those things he becomes a valuable bench guy in the NBA. Sure D Green also has a jump shot and bc he does and also does all the other things he’s an AllStar.

Nunge will be a plus defender. He’s huge and a shot blocker. That’s a big deal. He needs to hit the boards bc that’s where Iowa will moss Cook the most. He really hit the boards hard at key times at the end of games last year. Overall adding a shot blocker who is 250 tall and long should help...

I’m hoping he wins 6th man of the year in his new conference with similar numbers he had w Iowa, he scores 30 vs lil bro and KU wins the lil 12 again.

But can he coach defense and/or help land B1G top tier talent...

JW was told by NBA scouts that he has NBA skills after his true F year. Moss didn’t even play his true F year. We have not even seen the scratched surface of what JW could become. Moss is a nice player and athletic but JW was already a more complete player last year and IMO considerably more...

I just rewatched some video of JoeT. If he doesn’t play 20+ mpg I’ll be shocked. He has a better chance starting than playing less than 20 mpg. That kid can flat out play pg. Iowa hasn’t had a pg that could finish through contact that way in a very long time. RDM did that ok but he was really a...

It could have more to do with those teams seeing and preparing for him. 8 of his offers were from teams Iowa played last year (6 B1G, ISU and OR).
