    JBo is thinking about coming back next year

    You’re just making stuff up to fit your narrative. The FF4 is 1, 3, 7 and 13 on offense. They are 5, 28, 8 and 45 on defense. We played a 9 man rotation this year. Why would anyone enter the portal? We can be good with JBo. But I want to see some changes. He’s treated as an offensive...

    Big 10 Team Losses and Portal Gains

    I’ll add Watts because I think he’s actually leaving. But for most players I’m going to wait until they have committed to a new school. I suspect many will return to their original school.

    OK Fran. You and I are the same age, and I have one big question....

    The Portal is becoming an important tool to fill a specific need or completely overhaul a roster.

    Big 10 Team Losses and Portal Gains

    I’m going to list seniors and probable NBA departures that averaged at least 4 ppg...like always. Please add comments as players transfer in or out via the Portal, withdraw from the draft or opt to return for their COVID year. I will edit this post as things develop. MI - Livers, Brooks...

    NCAA Tourney Thread

    Baylor was my pick all season...then COVID hit. It wasn’t a precautionary pause. Players had COVID. They’re on the other side of it now...took a few weeks. I think they beat the Zags...if the Zags can beat USC (PAC12 has made me a believer) and Michigan (their play without Livers has made me...

    Indiana bringing in a 63 year old assistant coach from the NBA as next head coach

    Are you saying he had every GM on speed dial? Where have I heard that before?

    So much for Oregon

    We have a history of not having the National POY. So we dismiss Garza from the conversation because our players historically aren’t that good?

    So much for Oregon

    Stop with the generalizations BS. This team committed to playing D starting in early February...analytics confirm this. This year’s team didn’t suck when it mattered until 2 of our starters just couldn’t go anymore.

    So much for Oregon

    I think we adapted and overcame Nunge. But losing CJ and Connor was too much...in addition to the other factors being discussed.

    transfer portal news

    It feels a lot like declaring for the draft for feedback then withdrawing. Does a better team/program want me?

    OK Fran. You and I are the same age, and I have one big question....

    Hard to believe but it’s even worse than not getting upset help. The team we played got a bye. Then we’re down 2 starters...having recovered admirably from losing Nunge.

    What does each Big 10 team lose next year?

    I’m not completely gone. I check in but don’t have much to say...other than I really want John Harrar to be a Hawk next year. As for the topic of this thread. I will do something with it after the (Portal) dust settles and seniors declare their intentions...take advantage of COVID or leave...

    Next Year...

    I would love to talk about next season; discuss NCAA Tournament games, etc. But it’s obvious every thread is going to be hijacked and/or go off topic. So I hope you all have a great spring and summer. I’ll be back in November. Go Hawks!

    So What is your Expectation for Iowa Basketball?

    It’s not required viewing. I enjoy Iowa basketball. If it’s irrelevant to you stop watching.

    So What is your Expectation for Iowa Basketball?

    We finished 6th or better 8 of the last 9 years. First division finish is pretty much a given. Purdue and Michigan look like the top 2 as of now.
