With the hype around this team and the season starting not long after these dark ages of no sports, I think plenty of fans will show up to games no matter the opponent. They were a really fun team to watch last year, and they return most of the roster.

I think Ogundale is the only for sure non redshirt because without him playing that leaves only 2 true post players in Garza and Nunge. The Murray twins are listed at 6-8 205. That is basically Joe Wieskamp and we have seem how he can get pushed around on the block. Also for reference Pemsl...

Also Tyler Ulis although we have since learned from him that MSU was his second choice.

I voted JW just because I think JoeT will get fewer or maybe the exact minutes and thus fewer opportunities to improve this coming season. Where as I think Joe Wieskamp improves his efficiency with defenses not being able to key on him as much. Now in theory Joe T could also improve his...

To be fair McDermott was considered more of a mid major level player until after his 1st year or two at Creighton. His dad didn't even recruit him to ISU. Was committed to UNI until his dad got the job at Creighton (still in the MVC at the time). Granted he was a little overlooked playing on the...

Ouch. Seriously though ISU being bad doesn't help Iowa. A solid ISU basketball or football team is better for Iowa because it's one more good non conference game on the schedule.

Its within the window for when he can be granted an extra year but it's not guaranteed. Still has to actually have his waiver approved.

If PMac can't consistently play then I agree that at least one of the Murray twins will get an opportunity. As far as Ogundale I'm thinking that Nunge and Garza will eat up most of the post player minutes. Especially with a couple more guards added to the mix I think we will see even more small...

I think JBo, Connor, CJF, Nunge all play between 20 and 25 each game. Garza and Wieskamp will play somewhere in the low 30s. And some combination of those 6 will be the end of game players. And the starters will also be some combination of those 6. Then around 20-25 minutes between Joe T and...

Agreed. Would have almost been better off playing one or the other at the same time. As to future though I agree that the Nunge/Garza tandem should work well when they are on the court at the same time. I'm not sure if Ogundale has much of and outside game though so I wonder how he will fit in...

It's hard to know until we have these guys on campus and see them play to know how this recruiting class will turn out. After this past season I prefer the 1 true post and 4 wing player lineups. As we saw when we had Cook and Garza on the court at the same time the past few seasons, its...

I would think that larger schools like Iowa that are towards the top in overall athletic department revenue wont have issues shelling out an extra few hundred thousand to cover scholarship needs for the extra years. Since spring sports have mostly partial scholarships to offer anyway, I wonder...

I'm probably wrong but I thought I remembered hearing that Logan Lee was working with the DTs during bowl prep which surprised me that a former TE would be able to bulk up enough to play DT.

I heard Kakert say it on his podcast shortly after the injury. I don't know if Rob plans to do an HN Mailbag podcast this week but I did pose the question to him on Twitter. The NCAA just needs to come up with uniform rules and not have waivers when it comes to transfers.

I don't believe that at all because if either Fran or Pemsl knew that he would grad transfer I believe he would have gone through senior night like Till did. Did both sides potentially have a feeling this would be the decision? Probably. But I don't think the decision was final until recently.

That will be interesting for both Wieskamp and Garza. In the list I saw, Wieskamp was ranked in the high 60s and Garza was in the 90 range. I think especially if players aren't allowed to do workouts for teams, that its unlikely that either stays in the draft.

Nunge wouldnt be eligible for a medical hardship because he already used his redshirt. Those extra redshirt years for an injury are no longer allowed.

Also our coach is not going to be on the hot seat to potentially lose his job next year.

I hope he ends up at one of those schools too like Brady Ellingson did. I think it's something that most fans thought could be a possibility. I'm also curious to see where Till will end up. I think he could be a solid role player at a lower tier mid major.
