I'm not sure why you don't want to name the person? It was his uncle who had played under Fran at some prior stage, maybe Notre Dame. There were plenty of pictures over CJ's time at Iowa with Fran and he bonding.

I agree

In my mind, CJ is the one guy that shouldn't have entered the portal. He was set to play an integral role at a position of need. I always felt he saw a window of opportunity where he could fit into the Kentucky rotation. That window closed very quickly, and he sat at the end of the bench for...

I usually suspect when a player transfers at the start of spring practice that they aren't as high up the food chain as they hoped, see the handwriting on the wall and into the portal they go.

Which Sullivan?

Out of the portal comes Alavaro for a visit at this point., one of the 5 starters at Robert Morris that entered the portal after making the NCAA tourney this year. 6'9" forward, Horizon League POY, from Spain, 2 years of eligibility left Also visiting Providence and Villanova I guess we no...

This must be the big rumored to have committed. 6'11" and growing, 3 state titles at Valley, Iowa Mr Basketball. My first question is how did it happen that this guy had committed to UNI? Why hadn't he been more highly recruited with his skill set? But, whatever, he sounds like an excellent...

i sense BM just wants his guys going forward, no Fran baggage, except for Koch.

With United Prep being there in Des Moines, under the tutelage f Dean Oliver, I'm sure BM and staff and this kid started building a relationship last year.

Duke is evidently scheduled to come in for a visit. Not exactly sure when but soon I'd guess. Supposedly also visiting Stanford and Villanova.

I ponder at times whether as the portal closes and the staff still has roster spots to fill if they might not look at some of the guys that went into the portal and haven't found anything they like, if they wouldn't be open to coming back, of course, on BM's terms? Also, recruiting doesn't end...

What I have seen is a target Creighton is supposedly interested in that says Creighton's NIL budget is stretched thin now. They need new money.

I've seen several articles saying BM and staff are working on former Grand Canyon big Duke Brennan. I know a bit about him, enough to say that he'd be a good fit for the Hawks. He's 6'10", 250 lbs and would nicely fill that need for a banger that can bang with the bigs in the B1G. He grew up in...

But is he humble and want to serve?

Saw that Jeff is no longer with Truman St. No reason given in what I read. Could he be a BM assistant possibility?

I saw a post tourney mock draft this morning that has Bennet beeing drafted in the second round by the LA Clippers. I know it's out there that he's coming to Iowa and forgoing the draft but there it is. One might think the writer isn't on top of things. Also, Payton wasn't in this mock draft...

I wish he were a little taller.

My take is that the NIL bucks are still out there and guys can get good paydays. One that gets thinned out we will be more of a players. I'm sure the staff is working really hard, watching lots of film looking for those diamonds in the rough. They are out there.

He's joining Fran's staff at Penn. Since he was a recruiting stalwart, I thought maybe he'd be a BM carryover. But off to Penn he goes........
