    All Iowa Roster

    I can easily see Gesell at SG but I'm curious who you think May would start over? Harrison Barnes is possibly the best SF in the country and Doug McDermott was 1st team all MVC as a freshman.

    All Iowa Roster

    I was thinking in 2013-2014 this could be a Final Four team -- because the five that I designated as starters could be back again and we'd add depth in the post (Agau and Jok) :eek:

    All Iowa Roster

    Just for fun -- how well do you think this roster would do 2012-2013? PG - Marcus Paige SG - Josh Oglesby SF - Harrison Barnes (assuming he stays) PF - Doug McDermott C - Adam Woodbury Bench PG/SG - Mike Gesell SF - Eric May PF - Zach McCabe SF - Jarrod Utoff SG - Matt Bohannon...

    Basabe misses USA U19 Championship roster. McDermott makes the cut.

    I was thinking something similar. I'm guessing Basabe's lack of passing skills hurt him in making the team. I haven't seen McDermott play so I can't comment on who is better

    2012 Recruiting Class

    Thanks AHawk I had forgotten but Devyn Marble actually retweeted someone saying we had offered Lee. Makes me wonder if Marble and Lee know each other.

    JuCo PG

    Definitely think Marble is below average athletically but I think he can be an above-average player. His shooting is odd and extremely inconsistent First 9 B10 games: 6-15 40% Last 9 B10 games: 0-10 0% I like to think this was a "Freshman wall" and just a psychological thing. We'll see...

    JuCo PG

    I expect Marble to be improved this next year but I think Hubbard will also see quite a bit of time at the backup PG position. Hubbard played PG his freshman year of JUCO and I know Fran thinks he can contribute there. I'm not sure that there are good enough JUCO pg's left that would give us a...

    UI official on Olaseni - Stats included

    Pretty funny that they misspelled his name in last paragraph "olesani" apparently it's not just the message boards. He is a legit 6'10 with a 7'2 wingspan and weighs 225 lbs. He averaged 10.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.2 blocks and 1.2 assists while shooting 72% from the field. Gabe Olaseni...

    2011 Recruiting Class

    If we could have gotten Guerrero this class would have been amazing. Either way I'm pleased with this class - Top 150 recruit in Oglesby - All-American JUCO wing - Aaron White sounds like a really solid addition - Addressed our needs with a big and we beat out Xavier, Auburn, and Ole Miss for him

    Iowa's Next Recruit

    Pretty sure he meant Josh Oglesby and Anthony Hubbard are the two guard commits

    To the guys that bash Frans recruiting

    HawkIhoops you cannot be serious in another thread you said... "I am huge McCaffrey fan, but if this is the best his staff can do after flying all over the country for a year to look at kids, then he might want to rethink who he has on staff." How is that not bashing his recruiting? How are...

    is this washpun stuff good or bad?

    Man this thread was disappointing. Don't get me wrong Washpun was clearly a fallback option which is discouraging but that doesn't mean the staff is terrible. We took a chance on Guerrero and came in 2nd for him. It doesn't matter how good a recruiter you are there is a margin of luck in...

    Does the Tennessee offer to Washpun change things?

    Wes is qualified and will play at D-I next year As far as PG recruits go Washpun was clearly not a top target. He is not a very good shooter but you guys are underestimating him because he is a great athlete, ball handler and defender. When he enters a game he will help with perimeter defense...

    Cully leaving this late is a huge blow...

    Total guess but maybe he asked for his release a while ago and was just notified that it was clear? I think it is a big loss just because we are so thin at PG. We now have 1 pg if we get 1 pg recruit we are in the same position as last year. We can't have anyone getting injured. Before I would...

    Could Cully Payne be transferring???

    His previous tweet was about how good Stevens is because he coached under Lickliter. I hope he's not planning on transferring but it's starting to look like it

    Katenda and Olaseni

    I disagree but not even because of "ethical" reasons Neither Katenda or White will play 5 Hopefully Basabe won't play 5 That leaves Brommer and Olaseni. We all know Brommer could get in foul trouble in 5 minutes and I'd expect the same from a Freshman. I think we need the depth and...

    Recruiting...weigh in with your thoughts

    I would say Katenda and Carter are pretty big recruits with major schools recruiting them. Unfortunately I doubt we land either Olaseni and Hubbard also have major schools after them and would definitely be a step up from our last couple of recruiting classes I would be very excited with any...

    Katenda favors Wake Forest, will visit Iowa

    This is surprising, I wasn't expecting him to visit and I thought he was a Notre Dame lean. Hopefully Olaseni has positive things to tell him

    McCaffery talks about Recruiting

    Good points but Carter is actually a combo guard and plays SG on his prep team (Kansas commit Naadir Tharpe plays PG)
