    Filip Rebraca Conducts Virtual Visit with Iowa Basketball

    When it comes to evaluating talent Fran is one of the best around IMO. If Fran wants him I want him. Side Note - This means Fran is watching (willing to use) the Portal. Good news!

    Liam Robbins in Transfer Portal!

    I agree. We’re obviously much better with both. But if I had to choose I would want Keegan. Side Note - I’m hopeful Kris next year can contribute as much as Keegan did this year. With those 2 and Patrick flying around there will be hands everywhere...dunks, rebounds, contested shots, passing...

    Liam Robbins in Transfer Portal!

    This is a fair and insightful post/question and I will give my opinion and reason for optimism. Please remember this is my opinion not a statement of fact. When Robbins got hurt I thought he was developing into a special player. IMO he was looking like the 2nd best center in the conference...

    Liam Robbins in Transfer Portal!

    You always say stuff like this. I assume you’re just cautious by nature and don’t want to get your hopes up. And that’s cool. If Robbins doesn’t come I will be less optimistic about next year. But my current optimism won’t cause me to have a mental breakdown if we go 6-14 in the BT. I’ll...

    Liam Robbins in Transfer Portal!

    Let’s review my post. I’m hopeful (feeling or inspiring optimism about a future event). Hopeful is a good thing. I then gave my honest (free of deceit and untruthfulness; sincere) opinion. Honesty is a good thing. I then gave my opinion (a view or judgment formed about something, not...

    Liam Robbins in Transfer Portal!

    Appreciate the post. You reminded me of my granddaughter. She’s 15 months old and just points at things and laughs. You should double check your sources. We finished alone in 3rd two full games ahead of 5th. You say we barely made top 4 when we were as close to 2nd as 5th.

    So are Spokane and Waco easier to recruit to than Iowa City???

    Granville Waiters...He looked like he was 40. I was just looking for a photo of him in college and learned he passed away March 23 (2 weeks ago) at age 60.

    JBo is thinking about coming back next year

    Look back and try to find negative JBo posts from me. I’m talking all the way back to the arguments 5 years ago about him not being a PG...had to play the 2. I’m not saying there are zero but I don’t remember 1. Well I will openly admit I’m a big asshole. JBo can say whatever he wants after...

    Is it possible for Iowa to do what Baylor has done

    Other predictions? I’ll be talking to Chris Street well before those 2 options.

    Luka Garza Wins Wooden, Becomes Unanimous Player of the Year

    Despite any disappointments for Iowa as a team over the past 4 years...Luka made Iowa must see basketball for me. BJ, Street and Luka are my 3 favorite players...character and talent.

    Liam Robbins in Transfer Portal!

    I have no idea what he’s going to do. I said weeks ago I hoped he would come to Iowa...not a prediction just hopeful. I honestly believe he elevates us to conference contender...highly probable top 4. Side Note - It could make the difference in what a couple other Hawks do. And it could...

    So are Spokane and Waco easier to recruit to than Iowa City???

    Reminded me of Denny Crum’s Louisville teams.

    Fran needs to go after Yesutu

    It’s ridiculous to suggest 4 games...with their 2 top players out...is a good sample size. He played in 31 games shooting over 81% from the line and over 38% from 3.
