Saw where we just offered a new PF: Dean Wade 6'8"/215 from Saint John, Kansas. Here's a short vid of him making a move off the dribble: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp6Z9fDtFLY Offers include Wichita State, KSU, Oregon St...

Looks like we're standing pat in 2014. Danuel House to Texas A&M. That he didn't visit Iowa isn't surprising. But going to Teaxas A&M is. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/24578640/texas-am-lands-houston-transfer-danuel-house

Looks like Novian Cherry is transferring to another JUCO: College of Southern Idaho. Apparently he's still very interested in an Iowa recruitment. For those of you who don't know, he's an athletic 6'5" F/G who'll be eligible in 2015...

With all the pursuit of various SF transfers, present and now past, is anyone else mystified as to why we aren't going harder after a C/PF type for 2015? After the seniors leave this year, we are left with Woody backed up by Uthoff as it stands now looking at the roster. I can understand Fran...

Now that the dust is starting to settle on the WI aftermath, here's an attempt at a balanced opinion. About the game, sure the last minute didn't go as all Hawkeyes had hoped. Hawkeye Zach McCabe certainly isn't happy about it. But what put us in that position was Basabe's health. He's the...

With 15:52 left, IN down to PD 51-34. PD hitting 54% from 3 so far.

I was looking at the stats for out 3pt shooting. Interestingly, when we take one player's 3pt shooting out of the equation, as a team we are shooting 39% from 3. RDM is shooting 26% from 3 (what JO shot last year) and yet has taken the most 3s (23) by far on the team. Jok is next with 16 3s...

I am the only one who feels that Mike Gesell's resurgence is a key for this year? He's averaging less than half what he did last year so far. Especially if JO is not retuning this year, we need to start getting production out of MG. Jok will have some big games but it is evident he will be...

I'm looking forward to the Penn game because it will finally give our bigs some size to play against. Penn's center, Nelson-Henry is 6'11",265lbs, and averages 18.3ppg. They also have some good 3pt shooters and assist men. Pennsylvania Quakers 2013-14 Statistics - Team and Player Stats -...

Here's an Omaha UNO article about the game. UNO falls short in bid to upset Iowa - Omaha.com Some pertinent quotes: “We told them at the 12-minute timeout that guarding the bounce and rebounding would be the two big things,â€￾ University of Nebraska at Omaha coach Derrin Hansen said...

Looks like SA is having trouble before the season even begins at UCLA. Trevon Bluiett just decommitted citing distance concerns. MI and IN look to be the favorites for him now. Top-50 recruit Trevon Bluiett decommits from UCLA - ESPN Los Angeles

ESPN has Iowa at #25 in an early pre-season poll. Very Early Top 25 for 2013-14 season - NCAA men's college basketball - ESPN They have MSU at #3, OSU at #6, and IN at #19. So ESPN is picking us #4 in the B1G and "the well-coached Hawkeyes have a chance to finish as high as third in...

WKU pounds LaSalle on the boards 44-23 to win by 14. Wonder what that does for our RPI?

Looking at the stats, if IA stays with MD on the boards and keeps up the shooting, we've got a good shot at the finals. TEAM Average/Rank in conferenceAvg/Rank in conference Scoring Pts Allowed IA 70.6/3rd 62.6/7th MD 71.0/4th 63.8/5th Rebounds Rebound Differential...

Watching the bubble drama unfold made me wonder what the rationale is for continuing to stick with the RPI as a primary measure for how good a team is by the NCAA committee. Why not Ken Pom, Saragin, or another system that gives more depth to team analysis? Anyone?

The Elephant in the Forum that no one seems to want to notice: is Marble playing tomorrow??? When is he coming back?

Everybody says Gabe and Woody aren't ready to start. Yet the thing is, if Gabe keeps developing and Woody comes on as expected, one of them is likely to start while Basabe and McCabe are still at Iowa, perhaps sooner than later the way this staff is starting to develop players. At that point...

I've been on the fence as far as whether we'll go with a 3-big, 2-guard starting line-up. No longer. The coaching staff has spoken with their actions, if not their words. Would they have taken Uthoff, would he have come, if there wasn't going to be playing time for him? With our personnel...

There’s a lot to like about Basabe’s game. He’s long and athletic enough to rebound and find ways to score. He can block shots and play pretty good D. However, despite occasionally using the jump hook, he has yet to find a staple move around the hoop. His body needs filling out. His...

Here is a new name to throw at you. I think this may be the PG Fran hopes to get but isn't sure about. It would make sense Speraw would know about him from Florida days and he's originally from Minneapolis so the weather wouldn't scare him away. From JucoRecruiting.com: Josh Mason – State...
