It's mostly the depth that hurts the most. Now we only have 3 bigs. No Nunge wasn't setting the world on fire but he was a solid contributor that could bang down low and stretch the floor. Now if Patrick can play this year that depth is helped but I'm not counting on Patrick to make it back to...

The biggest slight to me for Fran is how he had a built in recruiting advantage for 2019 and 2020 recruiting classes with his son being friends and playing at a high level with some very high level recruits and yet Fran missed on all of those high end recruits. Also since Fran was "watching"...

The 80k is for a two way contract. G League contracts are less than 40k per year. That's before 80k more than he would have made at Iowa this year.

Surprised no one has said this yet based on his history. I think foul trouble will be the thing that prevents him from keeping up his scoring. He averaged 12 PPG his Freshman year and 13 last year both with Cook on the floor at the same time and majority of post up touches going to Cook. I see...

I dont know if their games would compliment each other very well. Last year when we had both Cook and Garza on the court at the same time, they got in each other's way and created easy double team opportunities. I'd rather he fills the role of being the backup to Garza and potentially we have...

Thanks for posting. I couldn't find any highlights of the kid. I'm picturing a similar player to Adam Woodbury except much more athletic. Also has some good quickness for his size.

That last sentence about needing a star in the next class has basically been said after every years recruiting class is done. I do agree though that as long as Wieskamp comes back, we can afford to not have an instant contributor in 2020 class, but 2021 has to have that piece.

Based on highlights I actually like the Perkins kid better than Ulis. Maybe the Murray twins will turn out to be solid players. But I wouldn't have felt this is such a terrible class if they weren't part of it.

He did but he waited too long. Also as has been an issue in the past, terrible spacing that allows the easy double teams with little risk to leave a shooter open.

But hey those Murray twins have potential!

Less about coaching, more about very very poor recruiting. Garza, Wieskamp and CJ Fredrick are the only players on the team that had a power 5 scholarship offer other than Iowa. It's also only going to get worse. How can Barta possibly justify not firing this guy?

Isn't that the moment of silence time?

He is going to be at the ISU exhibition game tonight. It makes me wonder if he has made his decision and he wanted to meet with each coach to tell them the news in person. If so that would be a class act. Could be totally off base though.

Wasn't Josh Oglesby also the best 3PT shooter in practice?

He needs to two handed stuff more Big Macs.

From what I've seen, it's clear that Moss saw the writing on the wall and CJ is a better player than him. Moss was a very good player and was almost unstoppable when he got hot, but when he wasn't hot, he was not much of a factor on either end of the court.

Not very impressed with Evelyn so far. In the guard pecking order he seems to be at the bottom. Nunge hasn't improved quite as much as I was hoping. He needs to pick his spots to take shots a little better. Definitely stronger and i think he will fit his more natural position as a post player...

My concern with saying that this group of 6 players will be good is we have no idea what we truly have outside of Garza and Wieskamp. We saw what happened when Iowa only had 1 or 2 really good players on a team with Gatens and Jok senior years. Those teams ceiling was NIT. Garza has shown a...

I could barely find any highlights of either of these kids. These kids both look like Dom Uhl clones. Probably better shooting. But overall that is the type of player I see. The only thing that I can think is that Fran knows that Sibley is gone for a fact. You can find a place for Foster if he...

After watching highlights of Ulis and Perkins, I really like the all around offensive game of Perkins. If this class is done at the 4 commits right now, I think Perkins ends up being the best of the bunch when their careers are done at Iowa.
