There are thousands of kids in the portal, Iowa is a B1G school, they are going to have no issues filling their scholarships with players at a higher level than Carter. Carter was a good kid and a legacy walk on. He lacked size and like someone said above, he probably already graduated and will...

yeah, that have it all tied up in like 3 players. Also, Greg McDermott announces he'll step down in a couple seasons?

This is probably the most important assistant Ben will have. This has been rumored to be in the works for a while. Dude was a great recruiter at TT and can evaluate talent and develop.

Drake was borderline top 25 all season and likely should have been ranked through some of it.

Anyone notice that Freeman and Dix are not on many "Top Transfer" lists now that the NCAA tournament is over. Like, haven't seen either in anyones top 10 for at least a week, but you know who's still #1 or #2, Bennet Stirtz

I feel confident that he wasn't going to scholarship guy for sure and that likely became clearer the last few weeks,

I listened to the podcast with Ben, he said an uncomfortable truth, it was hard to keep any guys because the last 2 seasons have been miserable and the fans stop supporting them. They now don’t have a connection to Iowa and it’s one that was more negative than positive in most ways. It was a...

I'm confused if they work or don't work and it appears, so are the powers that be. I feel like it can't be both ways. Either these things work and are great and we all just need to buckle down and get past it the best we can because it's best for the long term right? Ok, let's go. I am ready. I...

Iowa lost to every good team they went up against when they were healthy. I saw it in person a couple of times. When we played Utah State, we looked like a Valley team. That was as bad of an Iowa team that I can remember and I've been a diehard since like 1990. That was a 15th place roster. We...

Iowa will have football money and schools will pay for play. Football schools will be able to keep up with Big East, trust me. Creighton was still flying commercial as recently as last season to games. It’s not all glitz and glam and when you combine settlement with NIL, Iowa has better than 60%...

I'm just saying that roster probably would have competed LAST season in the B1G better than the one Iowa put out there. Iowa didn't have a hopes prayer in most games this season and typically were out of most games shortly after half time. I would say a high percentage, they were out of it at...

I mean coming into this year. Right now, I'll take the Drake starting 5 over Sandfort, Dix and Freeman. That starting 5 proved they can win against good teams. Last years Iowa team didn't. They didn't even beat a team the caliber of Missouri last year at HOME. I think because a few pieces of our...

Their coach must have greatly underperformed then.

There are still hundreds, this year saw the biggest uptick in the history of CBB with over 1000 entries in the first few days. The portal is open until April 23rd I think? Meaning, there are 15 days left, also meaning, we are pretty much at the half way point. So far, Iowa has the #1 portal...

One could argue that Drake's roster was better than Iowa's last season. Iowa didn't have a win anywhere near as good as beating a team the caliber of Missouri and they had at least double digit chances to beat a team like that or ranked in that space. Also, they stayed with Texas Tech for...

Yes and that's another reason why I don't mind him bringing some guys with him and kind of starting fresh with former players. I think he would of obviously loved Dix or Sandfort though. Bummer. As a fan, I knew we would lose pretty much everyone. Now his guys at Drake bring the winning culture...

Owen Freeman got 1.8, JD got 2.4 - They also signed another huge piece out of Charlotte that was considered a top guy in the portal as well. Creighton has a lot of money and fan support.

it's believed that he is likely a donor. I know he attends games.

That's what I've heard...and I know his mom had been battling cancer, which is next to being bankrupt for people normally, so, Creighton always made sense and it was always where I thought he was going. They used IL as leverage, he has a good agent.

He got over a million - and let's face it, they overpaid but Fred is desperate. If he doesn't win next year he's out, so overpaying was probably going to be something he'd have to do.
