    Funny enough I may have a recent example... Remember the name TJ Power? He was like a top 25 kid coming out 4/5 star. Fran was in on him for awhile and then his recruitment blew up so he went to Duke. Well needless to say he didn't cut it there after a yr and went to VA (Fran tried to get him to...

    It'll be one of the top of the list things being paid attention to. If he's starting day 1 that would say a lot about how good he must be. Cause with the depth they seem to have I don't think that it's a given that he will. And as I'd mentioned earlier I'm just not sure how many mins the backup...

    Trey Thompson

    Sean Bock was all over how this went down. Sounds like TT had to think about the whole reclassifying part of it initially. It didn't seem to be his idea to do so. I found that interesting but I think you'll enjoy listening to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye2B1YmDtzw

    Trey Thompson

    It's for the defensive end more so then the offensive end. I don't think Sage is as physical as what Thompson is going to be for that end of the floor. Sure offensively those 6-6-6-8 guys are almost interchangeable setting screens for each other on the wings and doing similar things.

    I really like that there's 10 guys that should be playable. I agree with you on the how the mins might be spread out so there's gonna be a couple guys at least that probably won't be real happy most of the yr. That sucks but is what it is. Winning will help alleviate that feeling but as we know...

    Trey Thompson

    I musta missed that... I can't see Ben doing that though. He seems like a you gotta earn it kinda coach. I don't see coach telling him he's promised a starting spot right away. Not before he's been to a practice yet. That seems like something Calipari would do not Ben. I think Ben would say the...

    Interesting... My initial guess is gonna be the Drake kids get the leg up. I'm guessing that Jirak won't play a heck of a lot unless we play a bigger team. I think Koch and Thompson are gonna battle for being that first forward off the bench and the other won't play much. I will leave room for...

    Trey Thompson

    No I didn't forget I thought Sage was more of a 2-3 kinda like a Pryce Sandfort type. I didn't look at him and TT playing for the same mins so much. How TT fills out will be interesting he's listed at 220 as an 17-18 yr old. What if he puts on another 10-20 lbs of muscle? Even if he doesn't get...

    Trey Thompson

    Huge get to say the least. I'm assuming the reclassifying part is what put us over the top for him. I'm not sure how much to expect from him yr 1. We actually seem pretty stacked at the 3-4 positions. With Manyawu Banks Koch and Folgueiras that's a pretty stacked spot considering all of them are...

    Lots of smoke that Iowa landed a significant recruit

    Here's a video of some guys talking about him 2 weeks or so ago. His stock has been going straight up the last month or 2. Alot of the blue bloods are involved namely Purdue but Kansas, TN Indiana are all about him too. If we land him that'd be a hell of a feather in BMs cap. I don't know who...

    Luka to Celtics

    Yeah and Celtics got rid of Porzingas. I found that interesting. Horford isn't getting any younger. Those two will probably be getting some legit minutes. Happy for Luka. Dude deserves to play and have an NBA career.

    Hairball named in lawsuit

    Ya think so? KF has been knocking down about what 5-7 milly for awhile now. Does he make anything beyond that? It'd take awhile for even investments to balloon him up to that much assuming he didn't spend much of what he was making. I woulda guessed closer to half that around 50ish. But who...

    Gronowski Heisman candidate?

    Would have to see it to believe it. For that to happen not only would he have to play phenomenal football. But Iowa would have to win most of their games. 2 losses tops. So here's to hoping that's on the table. I just have a tough time seeing it yet. If he gets off to a hot start and we smoke...

    Hairball named in lawsuit

    It'd be pretty funny if he has to shell out a huge chunk of cash at least.

    Luka to Celtics

    I'm excited for this. Hopefully he'll actually get to play more. He got so many DNPs and so few mins with MN. Their front line was pretty good/stacked. I don't think Garza will ever be an All star but the guy can score at that level too and should be able to carve out a role with a team.

    Iowa assistants pleased with summer basketball workouts

    Only if Fran takes it as such... And Yeah he probably should. Things are gonna be different and if for no other reason then that I'm excited to see what's next. We got the best PG in college basketball pretty much right? That's been Frans unicorn his whole tenure. He either had PGs that could...

    So what do you think about 2026 recruiting

    I'd rather have the class be graded as good then not. I like being able to land the in state guys especially Mansons kid. Long ways till signing day yet I think so no reason to get too wild about it. But I'll take whatever good Hawkeye news I can get in the summer time.

    Cooper DeJean & coach Ben McCullum

    Yeah I watched it a couple times and was just like woah... Coop is impressive but we've kinda seen what he can do before with his hops and all. But coach was out there and he's no spring chicken. He clearly plays a lot of ball. So has Fran seen it yet is what I wanna know...

    Cooper DeJean & coach Ben McCullum

    So there's videos out there of Cooper coming to Iowa and practicing/hooping it up with the guys. And of course it's awesome Cooper being Cooper. But my coach was amazing. He's like 5'11 180 whatever he is and he was out there showing off his handles and quickness. Showed him hitting a spot up 3...

    Layla Hays

    Jan has her two next stud post players... Remains to be seen if they can play together all that much. If one of em can stretch the floor a little that would almost be not fair. But even still having 2 stud post players just gives coach options. Between having 10 fouls to give and letting them...
