When the portal window closes, it just means you can't enter until the next opening. You can declare that you're intending to go into the portal, but technically, can't enter the portal until the portal window opens again. Once in the portal, you can exit at ANY time, but again, once you do...

FWIW, everyone else thinks Iowa is doing very well in the portal, except for our fanbase. Iowa top 3 portal team

That's what I've been saying, they also beat a Power Conference opponent in the dance, something Iowa hasn't done since 1999...every win has been over a mid major in the dance since then. I would stop being too caught up in the fact they were at Drake last year or they don't have a bunch of P4...

I think Iowa lost more talent than it's signed so far. But I think PG we upgraded, 2G we probably are a wash with the K-state guy, I'd personally take Dix for sure, the 3 or 4, we probably upgraded with Cooper and whoever takes Ladji's spot, 5 - totally agree. The thing no one is talking about...

247 ranks it as the #4 portal team in the country. I think that has to do with sheer volume, but again, a lot of schools are turning over their entire roster right now.

At what point do we start discussing our upcoming starting line up vs last years? I think what we have in play right now would compete pretty well already.

The way Fran treated the media never bothered me. The way that Fran treated the refs never bothered me. I kind of like that firey attitude and DGAF what people think about me front. I like that he was a big baby and petty. I thought it was part of Fran's edge that made him good at what he did...

He's not really someone that is respected highly in the coaching world, but he's young and hasn't coached very long, so I am sure that has as much to do with it as anything. I am just telling you, he was not seen as some lynch pin Iowa needed to retain and Iowa likely upgraded his seat. I know...

Iowa would have loved to retain Pryce or Josh and made a run to keep them here. Those 2 likely think that Iowa basketball's environment is toxic, with bad fans and their time at Iowa wasn't probably a great one. I get why they'd want to move on. As a fan, I am ok with them moving on as well...

Yeah, I think we only have 3 of our 5 starters, or 4 out of 5 starters on the roster. I think all of Iowa's next signees will make more sense from a "ok, this is a dude" aspect vs. the Drake parade. Those guys are all going to be vital and IMO, having them in the mix when acclimating new players...

247 ranks Iowa as the 6th best portal team so far. I’m sure a lot of that has to do with bul, but a lot of programs flipping their rosters rn besides Iowa too.

If you think CC had logo range, this dude shoots from deep. Uh, I heard the 2 Chris's talking about this kid and they said, look out if Ben gets this kid and that was like over a week ago before I really even knew he was on our radar. I guess he destroyed the Clones in a game this season...

Former 4 star recruit - originally had offers from Villanova, Arizona State, Butler and Creighton.

A relative of Matt Gatens said that he's kind of being pushed on and won't be retained and I saw some other people closer to the situation stating that Carter was urged out.

There are thousands of kids in the portal, Iowa is a B1G school, they are going to have no issues filling their scholarships with players at a higher level than Carter. Carter was a good kid and a legacy walk on. He lacked size and like someone said above, he probably already graduated and will...

yeah, that have it all tied up in like 3 players. Also, Greg McDermott announces he'll step down in a couple seasons?

This is probably the most important assistant Ben will have. This has been rumored to be in the works for a while. Dude was a great recruiter at TT and can evaluate talent and develop.

Drake was borderline top 25 all season and likely should have been ranked through some of it.

Anyone notice that Freeman and Dix are not on many "Top Transfer" lists now that the NCAA tournament is over. Like, haven't seen either in anyones top 10 for at least a week, but you know who's still #1 or #2, Bennet Stirtz

I feel confident that he wasn't going to scholarship guy for sure and that likely became clearer the last few weeks,
