I was there. Way up top watching in awe and curiosity. Those rotunda doors made it tough.

You can have your opinion. I just don’t agree with it. Every coaches tenure has context. You could say that about every coach, if they would have gotten more wins… I can agree some may not have liked some of his behavior, although I believe more people liked his fiery personality than didn’t...

Never said majority miss Fran. I’m saying it will be a few years before any results are even comparable. He’s the most winning coach in Iowa basketball history, deserves a bit more respect than he was given in my opinion. Don’t know where you get haven’t moved on? I’ve said over and over I am...

Players aren’t following Fran to Penn because they are all getting raises going to other schools. I personally don’t feel that 19 wins is dismal. It’s not great but it’s not dismal. All the Drake players got raises to follow Ben here. It’s still too soon to say whether fans will be missing Fran...

This is a great pick up. Glad he will be wearing black and gold.

I felt his struggles at Iowa were more of him trying to do more than necessary. Forcing things at times. He will grow into a solid player.

https://www.si.com/college/iowa/basketball/11-teams-showing-interest-in-iowa-hawkeyes-transfer-guard The teams interested in Traore are Memphis, Alabama, Washington State , Penn State , Georgia Tech , George Washington , Seton Hall , West Virginia , FAU , Colorado State , and UNLV.

His 3 point shot as a freshman/sophomore was undeniable. Injuries just plagued him everywhere he went. Good luck to him in the future. https://www.on3.com/news/former-iowa-hawkeyes-kentucky-wildcats-cincinnati-bearcats-guard-cj-fredrick-announces-retirement-from-basketball/

This is great news. https://bvmsports.com/2025/04/10/2026-three-star-g-navon-shabazz-reaffirms-iowa-commitment/

Most of what I have seen still has dix as top 15-20. Not too much of a fall. Freeman I have seen fall further on some. I think Stirtz is an excellent add.

who cares? Do you know how important these players, walk on or not can be to a program? A lot of fans will definitely care as they enjoy rooting for the players sons. Just because someone isn’t stacking stats on game day doesn’t mean they aren’t a vital piece of the team.

Maybe. I thought keeping a legacy recruit would be semi important. Especially if one reason for moving on was to be more Iowa and connect with the fans. Fans love seeing former players kids stay, even as walk-ons.

Man. Thought Koch returning may keep Kingsbury around. His father will always be one of my favorite hawks of all time. Sad to see him decide to move on. Can’t blame him. https://bvmsports.com/2025/04/09/carter-kingsbury-iowa-junior-forward-enters-transfer-portal/

Definitely would be a body down low

Good players don’t always make a good team is definitely a true statement. I don’t necessarily think this last squad was ever fully healthy from the start. How long was Payton dealing with the shoulders? Chemistry is more important overall. I’m not sure everyone on the team meshed well but you...

Nothing diluted about it. The schools our players have gone to and the amounts they have been offered proves that they had a good roster. Injuries derailed last season. Dix was a special player.

I completely agree. It has to be tough to come in with a bare cupboard. I’m not criticizing him by any means. Just stating would have been great if could have landed one of two. There is still a lot of quality in the portal so no reason to freak out. But one of those two would have been a big W...

Not an overreaction by any means. It is what it is. These were two guys higher up on the list. Definitely isn’t ideal to have both pick other Big Ten schools

Ouch. One would have been nice. https://sports.yahoo.com/article/pair-iowa-basketball-transfer-portal-131018851.html
