    Iowa's current recruiting ranking according to this site

    Colorado (Tad Boyle), Providence (Ed Cooley), Seton Hall (Kevin Willard), and Iowa. Although Minnesota had only 2 and Pitino was there 10 years. DePaul and Georgetown only had 2 but the first retired from coaching. And Florida only had 2 but Billy Donovan left for the NBA. There were a total of...

    Riley Mulvey Reclassifies to ‘21

    They have changed since I attended college in the mid-70's. Legal age was 18 then. Never had any issues getting into bars (although I did have issues getting out a few times!)

    JBo is thinking about coming back next year

    I agree. I can't get on social media or even this site and do my job effectively...... oh, wait!

Oh, yeah - mid-major Florida Gulf Coast. Where did Villanova hire Jay Wright from? Oh, yeah - mid-major Hofstra...

    JBo is thinking about coming back next year

    I still watch the highlight replay of that game on the Matthew Loves Ball channel on YouTube.

    Predicted transfers in the next few months

    I did see him play. I saw him sprinting up and down the court, even after he got a contested rebound. I saw him take the ball out of bounds after a make and beat his man down the floor. I saw him battle on the boards hard. He didn't make the shots but did get several shots off of offensive...

    Indiana bringing in a 63 year old assistant coach from the NBA as next head coach

    That may be. However, Horner was suspended from Truman's team just after being named the conference coach of the year and before their conference tournament. Also, has anyone heard is he still cancer-free? That would be a consideration for any team looking to hire him.

    Iowa Extends Contract of Fran McCaffery

    The one huge factor in favor of Mr. Davis was the style of play he coached. It was so radically different than anything else at that time that it was difficult for opposing coaches to scheme against. The full court press / mass substitution style was in its infancy then. It could make good players...

    After sleeping on it what did we accomplish?

    It was done just before the NCAA tournament began (just like Fran's this year) and the previous year they had lost in the first round (with Megan Gustafson as the team leader); the year before that they were in the NIT. So at that point, one could say she didn't know how to get past the first round.

    Wiescamp staying or leaving?

    For the most part, I'll agree with that about his high school team. More than a few times I saw his HS teammates try to catch a pass from him against their chest. Ugh. But in the end, his HS team made the state tournament his senior year so the supporting cast wasn't completely terrible.

    Wiescamp staying or leaving?

    I agree with this. He hasn't said anything to his dad about it.

    Wiescamp staying or leaving?

    It's Makenzie Meyer. She's enrolled in the UI College of Dentistry.

    After sleeping on it what did we accomplish?

    (Shakes head) You do realize that in 2019 Barta extended the contract of Lisa Bluder to 2025, right?

    Cj

    The rumors were that he had plantar fasciitis. The only real treatment for that is to not use the foot at all for at least a month. That includes walking. Yeah, he's young and he did play through it. I had it about 20 years ago and rest was the only thing that treated it.

    Perception and reality

    I don't know how you know this. His dad doesn't know.

    Perception and reality

    Wait a sec... you mean Fran is telling kids they need to wait in line to get playing time? So JoeW didn't start when he was a freshman? Or Luka? Or JBo? Or Tyler Cook? Or Aaron White? Or Mike Gessel? Or Adam Woodbury?.... the list goes on and on.

    Garza was a generational find, but the secret formula is athletic guards that can shoot

    You don't really follow the Iowa women, do you? She currently is under contract until 2025. She has bonuses for each level of the tournament she achieves. Here's a tweet from Dochterman from 2019: https://twitter.com/scottdochterman/status/1105486718768201728?lang=en

    Fran sucked but don't blame it all on him.

    Seriously? You think the only reason Mr. Davis was fired was a loss in the Sweet 16? While he was a good coach, there was a laundry list of things that got him fired.

    So What is your Expectation for Iowa Basketball?

    If Illinois had: 1) Got the ball to Kofi more to get the Loyola big guy in foul trouble. 2) Ayo had been more of a distributor instead of believing the hype about himself and not tossed up a lot of bad shots. 3) Their guards had stopped the incessant dribble-dribble-dribble and instead passed...
