    Now That The Novelty Has Died Down Some...

    I can only answer a Q like this in hindsight since I didn't watch but a few highlights of Drakes games before the tourny started. In hindsight absolutely I'd take what Drakes guys did over ours. Before hand considering the D2 angle of some of those kids first yrs of being at Drake that's just...

    Honor Huff

    5'10 shooting guard is what his stats seem to insinuate. Less then 3 assists/gm doesn't lend me to think he's much of a creator. He rebounds as much as he passes witch isn't very much. We beggars can't be choosers at this point.

    Two Hawkeye Portal Targets Pick Other Big Ten Schools

    Nobody is more frustrated then Ben. He's had to be going nonstop trying to evaluate kids that are in the portal. Navigate how to communicate to their representation and try and sell what he can do for them while offering less $. At the same time his coaching staff isn't even complete yet. Or at...

    Two Hawkeye Portal Targets Pick Other Big Ten Schools

    I really wish some folks wouldn't over react to this sort of thing. But I'm sure they'll be some that do. Ben has a tough sell to be making. I'm not expecting any miracles yr 1 I'm just not. Now if some magic donor plopped an extra couple million to the NIL pot then I'd say game on. But we all...

    Tavion Banks: Another Drake player joins Iowa

    Has to be approaching a record I would think what's this 5 players now? And someone will have to forgive me for not knowing but is it literally his starting 5 from over there? I mean we need the bodies that's obvious. But to me his evaluation doesn't really start until he lands a kid that isn't...

    Is clutch a thing?

    Very much so I agree. All those kinda bleed together to make a guy like that do what he did. Even Steph Curry back when he was in college. He was small/skinny. Hence why he didn't get big time offers. But dude literally grew up in NBA locker rooms. He always had the mental confidence in what he...

    Lil Sandfort heading to NU?

    That one musta been just a pure cash grab too. That's 2 steps backwards of a program. Oh well Ben's gonna get guys that want to be Hawks he clearly didn't want to. Program needed to be purged and it has. I liked his potential but he was a piss poor defender/rebounder for his position. We can do...

    If there's one thing many rich folks like to do it's measure their dicks. That's how they do it

    Is clutch a thing?

    JBo I think was a good somewhat recent example of it. He made lots of big shots not just game winners which he hit at least a couple of those off the top of my head. But he also hit shot clock beating ones in clutch spots. When you're an undersized not overly athletic guy like him you gotta make...

    Sandfort vs McCaffery

    Not good both Sandfort and PMac didn't get to 2nd round of it. PMac only had like 12 was last amongst them all. I didn't watch it beyond them getting knocked out. I really didn't know who all the other guys even were

    Lil Sandfort heading to NU?

    They really ponied up.. Better then seeing him go to IL. I think he and his agent played this well. Used IL to drive up the price and ultimately got what he wanted.

    Dix gone...

    Good for him. He took his time deciding and got the best of all worlds being close to home. Had this happened and say Fran was still the coach I'd probably not have this exact same sentiment. Which many thought woulda probably been the case. Regardless it is what it is now. There's literally...

    Sandfort vs McCaffery

    They are going at it in the 3 pt contest tonight. That outta be fun. I remember when Peter Jok and JBo won it. Hopefully Sandfort shows them all how to do it.

    Traore is in portal

    Makes one wonder if that was more of a Ben pushing him out or Traore just deciding to go after having spent some time with coach thing.

    Can we win in the Big Ten with Drakes team

    I'm not speaking for longtimer but to me when looking for difference makers to add besides Stirtz I'd say they need another really good shooter and an inside presence at both ends. They don't have to all avg 15 pts but they outta be capable of going and getting ya 20 on any given night when the...

    Can we win in the Big Ten with Drakes team

    Naw I don't have any delusions of grandeur with that. Even just the top half/middle of the pack 5th-10th would be amazing. And I don't think he should be expected to do that. This is a recalibrate/rebuild from scratch situation. It'll be interesting to see how these guys who started off at D2...

    Enright visiting today

    Endwrong. Eh not really. I wasn't too crazy about his game to be honest. I think we can do better to find a running mate for Stirtz

    One Of McCollum’s Assistants Is…

    I thought so. But I just listened to Trent Condons podcast and his guest who's name slips me atm said that things aren't leaning that way. He thinks if he was it woulda been done by now kinda thing. Nothings been announced either way yet so who knows.
