Tom Norman was a good Iowa player who's stats would have been better if hadn't had to share playing time with Dick Peth (The Tiger from Tomah), who's stats were almost identical. Both good players with similar skills sets.

I saw Pistol Pete play, and Chris Kingsbury was no Pistol Pete. But I love your line about playing sober. Chris liked to party.

Very tough to narrow this down to a handful, but in my estimation, Chris Kingsbury would definitely NOT be on the list. Yes, we all remember his spectacular moments, but he was a career 40% shooter and only hit 35% of his threes. Just on today's roster, I would expect JoeW and, especially CJ...

Hard to say what Luka is thinking at this point. This pandemic, and the way it is raising it's ugly head again makes the future of basketball, at all levels, very problematic for (at least) the upcoming season. Luka might be smart waiting things out until the absolute deadline.

I was a big fan of Kevin Boyle. Lute was as well. I remember hearing an interview with him talking about seeing him in his first practice, being so impressed and remarking to the other coaches, "What have we got here?!?"

Jarrod has done just about all he can in the states to make it into the NBA. If it doesn't happen soon, and he can make more money overseas, I would go for it.

Not going to dispute Brunner's opinion of how excited Iowa fans were to sign him, but for myself, I remember being very excited that he wanted to be a Hawk. I remember seeing videos of him on the news as a HS player and, just as he was in college, he was relentless. Hope Josh plays the same...

Good for him! Hope he sticks this time and achieves his dream.

Settles - Arrived ready to play. Averaged over 15 pt/gm as a freshman. Back injury was a killer Aaron White - Was a bit of a sleeper when he got here, but proved he belonged right away. 2nd leading scorer Greg Brunner - Hard working, slightly undersized, could do it all (probably pushed...

I think it surprises some of these city kids when they come to Iowa City. They associate Iowa as being overwhelmingly white and rural, but once they spend some time here, they discover how many nice people live here and, especially in Iowa City, how diverse it is. Iowa is mocked as simply a...

Not bagging on the kid, because McCaffery has a better nose for talent than most, but he has the weakest set of offers of any of the big guys that have been offered by Iowa. So many of these kids are unrated due to the virus cancelling so many summer events, it's hard to get a decent idea of...

Jepsen only played in 52 NBA games and averaged 1 point/game.

R.I.P. Ben. A lot of other players on that team got more accolades than you, but you were essential to the success of the team.

He reclassified to 2020. We really didn't have a spot for him. We are in on a lot of great HS players this year. Hopefully the staff can convince one or two to wear the Black and Gold.

What? No love for Candy LaPrince? He averaged 19 pts/gm as a senior and 16pts/career.

I'm a pessimist at heart, but I was hoping Garza would come back and we long suffering Hawk fans would finally win another B1G title and maybe even make it to another Final Four. Unfortunately, I think the scattershot approach to dealing with the pandemic is making it more and more unlikely...

Kevin Kunnert was a great center that seems to have fallen through the cracks because he played on those awful Dick Schulz teams. Averaged a double/double (16 Pts/13 Rbs) for his career here and played nine years in the pros.

The recruits Iowa are pursuing for the upcoming years have a lot of major programs also attempting to sign them. That can be a mixed blessing. It shows that the coaching staff now feel they have a chance with these higher ranked high school players, but battling the big boys may make it...

Update: He now has until August 3rd to make his decision.

The NBA has firmed up their draft date for October 16th. Luka now has until October 7th to withdraw his name form the proceedings. Please come back to the fold Luka. It could be that very rare momentous season for the Hawks with you on board.
