At the high school level many big men like Meyer are double and even triple teamed. You did not say that so I am assuming that was not the case. If he can shoot outside like that, he will bring a lot of problems to opposing defenses at Iowa. He might play the 4 spot, which will give him the...

It Tom could have recruited at the level that the George did, Iowa would have been a national power. Davis' system worked VERY well with top players, but then most systems work VERY well with top players.

Except Fran is unable to stockpile players like Wooden did back then so that players could not play at other schools. I don't believe there was a restriction on how many kids a coach could recruit...I could be wrong on that one too.

Todd O'Brien: St. Joe's won't give release to play at UAB - NCAA Basketball - SI.com Talk about a vindictive coach. If I was the player, I would try to sue St. Joes, the coach, and the NCAA and try to get as much publicity out as I could. I would try to make it as difficult as possible for...

Now, IF the staff can just keep the guys on campus and don't run them off...Doesn't do much good to have a good recruiting class if the better recruits all transfer the first year or the beginning of the year.

Think this young man will make it more than 1 year at Iowa befoe he gets run off?

Not in sync with the program? The guy gets hurt the first game of the year after he looks like an amazing player. He works his tail to get back to playing status...the staff then ignores him for several games while running our one back into the ground with no respite. He plays and fumbles and...

"Recruiting class rankings are complete BS." Keep telling yourself that while we watch the kids OSU, LSU, Alabama and other top teams recruit and compare with Iowa. Complete BS...complete BS. While these teams are recruiting some of the top talent in the country, Iowa recruits out of position...

A good start would be keeping the good kids that they recruit instead of running them off.

And he worked very hard to get back and the staff basically decided not to play him. He fumbles and that's it, doesn't get another chance. I don't blame him for leaving. Wonder if this staff will be able to keep the new running backs coming to school or they will force them to leave after one...

If a team makes free throws they will put a dagger in the heart of the opponent during close games. If a team knows that the other team shoots tremendous free throws, the mental aspect of that will take the heart of the opponent. A team is behind and trying to catch up so they foul, but the...

Very nice summary Jon. If I still lived in Iowa City I would be at the games in a second. Of course, I had season tickets when I lived there. Fran has brought an exciting style of bb to Iowa City and it is only going to get better, much better. When Iowa gets consistent 3-point shooters...

Throw to the middle of the field...too risky for this staff.

If Luck played for Iowa he would have about seven or eight plays to use, thus nothing would change much for Iowa, even WITH Luck. Our coach would ensure that a QB like Luck would not have much leeway and would run a very conservative offense, one of which the opposing defense would know exactly...

Is Woodbury taller than Brunner?

Against Iowa, PSU had a distinct advantage, the defense knew exactly what Iowa was going to do on offense...the exact same thing they do every game and have done for the past 11 years. What's the surprise?

"...Wisconsin's lack of offense sure helped." That is the case in many losses. I am not arguing with you Cibula because you are absolutely correct. Iowa losses games due to lack of offense and (or) defense. And teams lose because another team shoots lights out or because a team plays poor...

I guess I could have substituted "they." Would that have helped? ;0)

Payne saw the writing on the wall early and knew that he was not going to fit into Fran's system as the starting point guard and he was not about to be the bench warmer backing up another player. Had Brommer and Archie chosen to transfer Iowa would have been overloaded on scholarships so perhaps...

Having a bad day there Herby? ;0)
