    Carver Getting A $96 Million Parking Garage

    According to Kakert, BG was on the fundraising trail a few months ago, looking for 65 million to get the corporate suites(luxury boxes) put inside Carver. Is that next?

    Pryce staying home!

    Tough call Everything he said publicly screams Hawks. Payton tried similar tactics that Connor did in terms of trying to get more fan engagement, and he got similar results. He could very well be F it, coach always had my back, so I’m going to have his. So that definitely points toward Fran...

    On Hawkeye report

    What is the “salary cap” going to be in 25-26? If you have a 4-5 million cap, I don’t have a problem paying Stirtz and Dix half of it.

    We all know this but…………..

    Is it much different than the Tom Davis era? Take out 5 years or so, this has been Iowa basketball the last 45 years. Fran gave me what Iowa basketball has been the majority of my life. Good and bad. I’m not going to shit on dude, even though I agree it was time to move on from him.

    11 of Fran’s 15 seasons, he was .500 or better in BIG play. That is Purdue and Michigan State like territory.

    It is really hard to shit on Dix’s mid-range game. IMO, it is elite at the college level. Not impossible that Dix could replicate what A.J. Green is doing with the Milwaukee Bucks.

    We all know this but…………..

    I can admit I was a little guilty of having Lickliter PTSD. After doing the deep dive into McCollum’s career, I am cautiously optimistic, that it can be more Bo Ryan or Tony Bennett, and less Lickliter. That said, a lot of moving parts, and they have to get a lot of things right, but I am on...

    Not to nitpick, but isn’t it 3 if you include Niko Medved?;)

    We all know this but…………..

    Yeah, I can admit I got this wrong. You look at the tempo/pace Drake played at, and you immediately think this shit isn’t going to work. BUT YOU GOTTA DO THE HOMEWORK ON THE GUY. It isn’t about tempo, pace or number of possessions, it is about efficiency. The majority of his NW Missouri St...

    Freeman commits

    Hunter Dickinson made at least 2-3 million dollars playing 2 years at Kansas. Coleman Hawkins made nearly 2 million at Kansas St. for 1 year. Freeman is definitely in the ballpark, in regards to those type of players. Mixed emotions on the Freeman stuff, completely understand why he shut it...

    Bennett Stirtz...

    Kalkbrenner was a 4 time defensive player of the year in the Big East, Freeman ain’t that. McDermott is pretty good with big men, and he will be able to develop Freeman’s face up game. You are right he will be a nice replacement as a scorer.

    Richard Pitino to Xavier

    New Mexico is like Drake or vice versa…guy moves on, and they just find the next dude. The recent hit rate for both schools are really good.

    Fran to Penn...

    Mulvey? Wasn’t he a really good student coming out of high school? Granted, he probably isn’t number one in the pecking order of McCollum trying to sweet talk into coming back.

    Ben McCollum Introductory Press Conference, 3:30PM

    Fair Life long Iowa resident, so I should know better. Autocorrect was working on the phone…no excuses, should have got it right. Good call out.;)

    Ben McCollum Introductory Press Conference, 3:30PM

    You are right. Getting the home/away probably isn’t going to happen. We are getting games instead against SE Louisiana and Winthrop in the non-conference schedule, you roll your eyes, and say to yourself, give me UNI or Drake in place of this.

    I’m trying to figure out is this a Lil Lick joke or the McCaffrey family catching strays.:)

    JuJU Watkins chasing CC

    Given CC’s popularity it is hard to say she is underrated. But her durability is amazing. I know she had the ankle injury, but given the amount of games and minutes she played, the potential of the ACL injury was always in the back of your mind. Not being a misogynist or sexist, you always...

    Ben McCollum Introductory Press Conference, 3:30PM

    I’m with you on this. Iowa basketball isn’t what it once was when I was growing up in the 80(s) and 90(s). That said, what we see with the neutral site games in Sioux is Falls and Quad Cities, that there is still a love and passion for Iowa men’s basketball across the state. So games in Cedar...

    Fran to Penn...

    Not surprised he will end his career in Philadelphia. They have 4 or 5 schools he probably could have ended his career on.
