    Audie Crooks in transfer portal

    Irked that she can get that kind of money? Let's see... Started 66 of 66 games the past two seasons, and over her 3 seasons has averaged over 23 pts/game, shot over 60%, and made over 70% FTs. A 3-time 1st Team All B12 Conference player. = $1.4 million. In contrast, McKeever, the St...

    Lots of Portal Action

    I watched him play on the tube for Creighton a few times this season. Why do you think it didn't work out? Is Dix staying there, or is he out of eligibility?

    McKenna Woliczko.

    I don't know...I think an opposite argument could also be made. As a guard, Deal had multiple open looks from 3 simply because of Iowa's constant threat to throw it inside to a 1st Team BTen Center. Opponent defenses had to sag and overcompensate for Heiden's talent, and Deal actually had it...

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

    My thoughts exactly. Feuerbach was a special player in her own right, and this woman seems like the perfect replacement: a Sr vocal leader who takes great pride in her defense first -- anything beyond that is a bonus. Iowa is used to having a lock-down defender like Feuerbach, and hopefully...

    Addie Deal to Wisconsin?

    My thoughts exactly. No elite team is gonna look at her video from last season and shell out big bucks, no matter WHAT her ranking was coming out of h.s. She's going where she'll get 30+ min each game, with a team on the rise, increase her pts/per game, then enter the portal again. Her odds...

    Hawkeyes found to be only NCAA team to have ever contacted player not yet in portal

    The UI should issue a one-word press release: "Oops."

    Rick Barry on today's NBA

    Oh, there are coaches....and lots of 'em! They are sitting there on the sideline, all dressed the same. It's actually hilarious at this point -- it appears there are just about as many coaches -- perhaps 5-10 -- as there are players!

    Favorite Hawkeye pre-KF

    Nice to see my friend Robert Smith mentioned. I swear when in Evanston to watch the Hawks play NW one year, Long would simply drop back, throw the ball 40-50 yds, and Smith would run under it -- time and time again...one of those 56-3 games or something like that. He was Hayden's first big-time...

    Favorite Hawkeye pre-KF

    Fry built those expectations by saying after seeing him on the practice field he was the best player he'd ever seen -- over the top praise from Fry, who wasn't one for hyperbole until players proved in on the field.

    A great fit -- she'll start there and be a force in the MVC.

    Emely Rodriguez

    1) She no doubt got her ass chewed for a stupid play that could have cost Iowa a win over the then #7 ranked team. Are players these days used to being chewed out? Doubtful. We don't have any idea what her suspension was for -- she could have mouthed off to the coach who chewed her out. But...

    NCAA Championship Game

    The first 12 minutes of the 2nd half was so intense. The refs really lost control there for awhile and I was sure a fight was going to break out any minute. Then things slowed down and calmed down by the end of the game. The refs were very fortunate. Watching UConn reminded me an awful lot...

    Big losses for Honda and Ford vehicle divisions

    Yeah, the EV market for folks who live in apts is small, the only exception being if they work on-site and have charging stations at their place of employment. That said, many apt dwellers in large cities use public transit or Lyft/Uber exclusively and don't even have a car.

    Nolan Groves

    Interesting. McCollum's original plan which he has laid out publicly was to find a 1-year stop-gap star at PG to replace Stirtz, then bring in an elite PG in the recruiting class of 2027 whom he can have for 4 years. He feels he's 'in' on a couple top shelf PGs in the class of '27.

    Wisconsin finally got a decent coach, and they improved significantly this season.

    Big losses for Honda and Ford vehicle divisions

    I'll support nuclear power when someone shows me a written offer by a private insurance company or conglomerate to insure a nuclear power plant in the U.S. Will never happen. Ever. Remember that, the next time someone touts how 'safe' nuclear power plants are.
