    Alvaro is in the portal

    Yeah it happens. Coaches go with the flow of a game sometimes. Ben isn't afraid to make tough decisions like that knowing it might hurt a kids feelings. That's where recruiting comes into play and really knowing who you have. Ben doesn't want moody guys who'll get all kinds of butt hurt over...

    Alvaro is in the portal

    I'm so glad that Ben is able to make these sort of difficult decisions. Cause it can't be fun to do when sitting down with the kid to go over all this. I'm saying this not knowing if that's how this went either. Maybe it was more Alvaros decision then Bens too. Regardless he's a good kid and I...

    Alvaro is in the portal

    He played 9 mins was 0-2 with 2 TOs and made multiple defensive mistakes. I trust the coaches decision on that. Alvaro had been a yo yo all season with his play. That's part of the reason losing him isn't the end of the world. Kid was inconsistent all yr and that's a pet peeve of McCollums. If...

    Alvaro is in the portal

    It's officially official now he has gotten in. Not a huge surprise for those keeping up with it. He's got offers out there that Iowa either can't match or shouldn't based on other needs. Iowa has log jam of 4 men anyway. Good for him though no hard feelings. He's given a generation of Hawk fans...

    Favorite Hawkeye pre-KF

    Chuck Long, Sedrick Shaw, Tavion Banks, Timmy Dwight. Nick Bell. Jared DeVries was a monster. That's my short list anyway

    Connor to coach at Iowa?

    Facebook is pure garbage... I'd advise to just ignore any and all from that forum.

    Emely Rodriguez

    Yes and that's all it is. It's not like CC doesn't see the floor. She just sometimes wants to try stuff it seems like. Coaches just kinda learned to tolerate it cause their was only so much roping her in they could do. Not every staff woulda been up for that and that's what made Bluder and Iowa...

    Emely Rodriguez

    Yes it was a pretty out of control type of play to try. All I can say to that is was anyone watching some of the stuff Caitlin did over the yrs? She got a little better about some of the boneheaded passes she'd try but even her senior yr she would turn it over in head scratching ways more then...

    Emely Rodriguez

    Wasn't the suspension disputed though? I hesitated to bring that up only because I know one reporter reported it as such but Jan I don't believe ever said she was ever suspended and neither had Emely. I don't think Emely has said 2 words publicly since as far as I know. Doesn't mean she wasn't...

    Scheduled visits, interests, rumors...lots of holes in this roster.

    Carnegie is pretty much the end result of what everyone was hoping Addie Deal would either be early on or woulda been eventually in her career.... I would take Carnegie in a heart beat. Hope Jan offers her the kitchen sink. It'd give us a small back court still but that's alright. But we need...

    Connor to coach at Iowa?

    There's a better chance KF hires Akrum Wadley to coach RBs...

    Portal news, rumors, wishlist...

    What kind of click bait woulda that been? There's a better chance Ben would go after Omaha Biliew then go after Owen and I'd put both of those odds at 0.001

    Now they tease it on X and hide it behind paywalls until it gets out to the masses.

    I can verify that totally happened. I saw it on tv

    Ben told UNC nope

    You know that old adage that timing is everything? Well I think it applied here. I don't think he really wants to keep that job very bad. I think he was just doing the honorable thing playing out the season before he'd entertain the offer. Had UNC waited I think he'd have left for the same...

    Final BB Rankings

    Yeah it's all how you look at it. Big picture or how are they playing at the time in this case at the end. I just look at it as Iowa beat em 2 out of 3 times head to head most recently on the biggest stage on a (not so) neutral court. If the most recent head to head doesn't matter then what are...

    Portal news, rumors, wishlist...

    Banks might be a coin flip with the NCAA. Alvaro many think is going to have other offers Iowa may not want to match. But I haven't seen anything at all about him getting into the portal yet.

    Hoops voters aren't any better then the football ones when it comes to head to head on everything evidently. Good grief

    NCAA Championship Game

    Yeah UConn gave em a run for their $ more then I thought. Refs let em play quite a bit. Uconn coulda had 3 guys foul out pretty early had they called it tighter. Both teams didn't shoot well. Big moment everyone woulda been tight not a big surprise. The better team won

    Freeman in portal

    Well he chased and found the $ so in that regard he won cause he wouldn't have gotten as much had he stayed. I don't think Ben woulda wanted him anyway. He wasn't a rim protector type. He isn't skilled offensively all that much. He's pretty one dimensional. Ben woulda played Cam and Banks over...
