............. well ok it was Caitlin Clark and her WNBA team playing the Brazil national women's basketball team. Guess who broke the NCAA all-time scoring record...

Back to the portal, I know that Ben had said recently that he plans on adding a couple more recruits. I think he needs one more BIG at the center position. I mean 6'9" guys are ok if they are very athletic, but what happens if they foul out............ yikes!!! The freshmen who flipped from UNI...

I remember the poster kevinkunnert. There was also a couple of guys on there that lived out in Colorado. I got caught up in a scam that was directed towards a boy with cancer. Kirk and his entire coaching staff signed a football, and it was sent to my home address in Georgia. That was around...

That was Hawk Forum if I remember right. I didn't know who was monitoring it. I used the same forum name over there also. There was a small group of us that did the live forum for basketball when Todd Lickliter was here. I think we all need professional help after doing that every game. With...

If Ben builds it, that fans and recruits will come. It was fun taking my family to see the "Fields of Dreams" location. https://youtu.be/mXBMqbWcqzg?si=NiZLa5nhVxZUQTFE

Yeah I had seen that interview and thought it was really good as it showed how Ben goes about his business as a head coach. I try not to be a board hog and post everything I see. Those of you who have been along for the ride on this forum as long as I have, know I have been posting a lot more...

is a guard Ben may be pursuing. https://www.si.com/college/iowa/basketball/iowa-hawkeyes-serious-play-point-guard-transfer-portal

I guess we can at least hope that the schools are writing up the contracts that say the players have to spend their entire college playing days at the schools who have signed and are paying them to play there. I mean a contract is a contract and should be legally binding. That at least would...

Absolutely correct. I just ran across that news article and since we are familiar with Illinois I thought that would be more meaningful to read. What sports program has Illinois had as a college program that anyone can say has been a constant national contender (pickle ball)? I would guess...

Exactly. That was the underlying thoughts on my above comments.

No, at least that was the rule in collegiate sports before the NIL came along. Now, how that ever worked for players outside of the US I don't know. Just a thought here. Your attending Iowa as a student, Likely many have held jobs of some kind to save up and help their parents afford the...

I will take a stab at this one. High end prostitutes riding on the high school buses after games and using rolled up one hundred dollar bills to light up cigars (edit; ROACH CLIPS) for the four and five star recruits. I am visualizing open bus windows with smoke pouring out the windows as they...

It is this type of garbage recruiting behavior that will turn most college basketball fans off to the sport. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/illinois-men-s-basketball-built-a-european-pro-team-in-college-hoops/ar-AA1DMRHd?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=81df26f7064d434f98c3e31bd026b2a1&ei=55

I see a report of Ben visiting with this North Carolina forward. https://www.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/articles/iowa_hawkeyes_targeting_north_carolina_forward_in_transfer_portal/s1_16868_42124176

Possibly, but still need a little more backup in the B!G.

Gotta love the tude!!! “I would say it was a different level of hunger," Sage said of the determination to finally break through in the state title. "There was this humongous itch that we felt like we needed to scratch and it was always on my mind, which kind of felt bad, because I’d go out in...

I found a little more info. The article mentions that McCollum expects that to increase by AT LEAST TWO MORE. The story points out that the focus will almost certainly be on adding a big man and a point or combo guard. Ben's comments indicates that they have to be going through contractual...

Thank you!!!! That was perfect timing. Any idea or rumor who the other might be?

I like the term "opportunity" over doomed.......... even if we get killed, It would be one hell of a measuring stick.
