Butler, Utah, Houston, Va Tech ----- understandable as these programs have either been solid lately or are up and coming St. Mary's, VCU, San Diego State ----- somewhat frustrating Rhode Island, Fresno State, Murray State ----- shouldn't be ahead of us Kennesaw State, Harvard, UCF, South...

What this thread tells me: Many people are pissed that Iowa is 3-0. Many people are pissed that Iowa has won 14 of its last 18 games. Many people do NOT want to give any credit to Kirk or Brian. And that's sad.

Great win. ISU was SO geared up for this. Played poorly Week 1 and looking to make a program statement. My only complaint is the 4-3. There were clearly possessions it would've been better for us to have an extra DB in the game and it was frustrating to see 3 LBs in there. I hope it's due to...

How was 12-0 shown to be a fraud? They won every game on their schedule. They represented well in the Big Ten Championship game. Got drilled by McCaffery in a game they were hoping to not be playing in. 12-0 is 12-0.

Holy crap, the OP asked a legitimate question. Sorry that he missed the post LAST YEAR explaining this. Better publicity for the Hawks if a player says U of Iowa, but Daniels and family have been have big supporters, and the high school pact is cool. Glad he made it and is keeping his word.

For me the question will be how much man to man can this team play effectively. Our zone gives up a ton of looks and has plenty of holes (just my opinion), but we had lineups that couldn't play man at all last year. I think we'll have some lineups that we'll play when we want to man up, and...

I think the bottom line is we are all cautiously excited to hear about a PG with the qualities being described yet deservedly pessimistic at this point. I'm just glad to hear about a defensive mentality, regardless of scoring.

Calling a TO to ice the ISU kicker in Ames a few years back. The first kick (that didn't count) missed. Of course, he made the next kick. Kirk got roasted by many for calling TO. I never understood the criticism. It is a common strategy that Hall of Fame coaches in both the NCAA and NFL have...

Houston. 100% on 247 crystal ball predictions.

People are overlooking how strong of a defensive team ISU was last year, with a lot back. There were some key losses, as happens every year to every team. Purdy is the real deal. I would take him in a heartbeat. There won't be as much drop off from Montgomery or Butler as people think. If we...

Highjumped 6-4 a few weeks ago. Not bad for 6-6, 220. 247.com is projecting as a Hawk commit.

Honestly, it makes me appreciate Kirk and the types of guys he tries to recruit as well as the accountability he manages for player behavior. We don't have all saints, I'm not naive, but we generally have pretty high character guys, and that starts with Kirk making it a priority.

Virginia and MSU wouldn't allow them to waste time with a visit if they didn't think they could make it work. Also, I would take senior Garza over freshman Foster. Great kid, but you need a certain mentality to thrive at the B1G level and I haven't seen it yet from Foster.

Also agree that we need more athleticism on the wings. Keep Nunge at 4. Kriener, Garze, Nunge, Pemsl at 4/5.

No. No thanks.

I agree 100% the field should've stayed at 64, sioux34. It's a joke that more average at large teams will get in to make more $$ for the NCAA. But they expanded and the tourney field is now at 68. Your name comes up on Selection Sunday as part of the tournament. You celebrate making the dance...

How do people not understand the First Four is part of the NCAA tournament? So you think yourown opinion should matter more than the group who actually creates the tournament? Does Iowa's win a few years ago not count as a tourney win? It was a scrimmage to get into the real tourney?

This is true and I stand corrected. Here is a link that quotes him basically saying he would've chosen MSU over Iowa. That myth has been in my head for a few years for some reason. Thanks. https://www.blackheartgoldpants.com/basketball/2015/4/4/8346421/tyler-ulis-kentucky-iowa-basketball-recruiting

Calipari swooping in to steal Tyler Ulis at the last minute put this program back for a couple years. He was the type of PG we never landed. Fran worked his tail off, beat MSU and some other nice programs. Then a Kentucky recruit bails out and Cal offers Ulis as a fallback. The rest is average...
