    Traore is in portal

    He's got the starter kit for it. He's the prototypical SF and athletic. Easy to see why there's interest in him. If he had a better jumper I'd bet Ben woulda had interest in bringing him back.

    Traore is in portal

    Interesting list he has there... He's from the NYC area I believe. Seton Hall seems like a good fit. FAU going to Fl would always be nice. As far as fits go those seem like the best. I'd be curious NIL wise which ones are offering the most Bama is interesting but he struggled to do well with...

    Brendan Hausen

    Now we got one. I'll consider him the first transfer Bens landed in the sense that he wasn't already a Hawk and a former Drake kid that's already played for him. Kid single handedly helped beat ISU at their place this yr. He's a good sized 2 guard that can shoot outside. We outta be stoked about...

    Honor Huff

    WV has some NIL $. More then we do. He's from that east coast time zone too. We woulda had to pony up to win that bidding war. Mighta been a good fit for us. Not sure how good at D he is though being a 5'10 kid. We know what having undersized pgs means and I'm not totally sad about missing out...

    Fran gets 5-star forward

    Yeah I remember him. We thought we had a shot landing him till Duke got in the picture. Now Duke wishes they'd let Iowa just have him. Looks like he roams the 3 pt line and isn't all that physical from what little I've seen of him. He hasn't really played much. Penn might be the perfect level of...

    Trevin Jirak

    Sounds like a huge sleeper pickup. One thing I'd read on him was he grew late. He was like 6'4 as a sophomore and has since sprouted up. And yeah he might not be done growing maybe he'll end up 7' Hence the guard like skills with handling the ball and shooting. To flip him now is phenomenal. We...

    If you can't beat em join em.......... opps, New assistant for Iowa says otherwise

    If he's what he's advertised to be then wow... My question is why leave TT for Iowa?

    Carter Kingsbury Enters Portal

    Exactly.. Telling him to leave now seems premature if anything too. He has damn near half the roster yet to get. There's a 12th man on every team he's shown he's capable and willing to do that. Going into his senior yr I bet Carter woulda liked to have graduated a Hawkeye. Be it on scholly or not.

    Data…

    That's funny... To have last yrs season summarized to that extent and giving up 42 to Iowa (who put up 40 4 times last yr) being what irks him the most. Remember they also lost to MN and Nebraska... Needless to say they didn't have a good yr. So it's good to see losing to Iowa is what has em on...

    Carter Kingsbury Enters Portal

    100% It doesn't make much sense to me that CK would want to leave going into his senior year. Even if he woulda had to walk on again or whatever I'd think he'd rather do that to finish out his career. My guess is it was Bens call telling him to move on but I could be wrong.

    Holy crap I'd forgotten about him... Haha of course he's got eligibility left.

    Now That The Novelty Has Died Down Some...

    I've heard that about those two quite a bit. Yet I'm just not sold on them. Granted I'm no draft guru and nor have I watched a lot of their games. It's just from what I have seen nothing about them screams future great NBA player. I could be wrong wouldn't be the first time. It's just odd to me...

    Now That The Novelty Has Died Down Some...

    Yeah Rutgers was a weird team this yr. 2 one and done freshman that'll be lottery picks but they weren't very good at all. Pickiel isn't a bad coach but he couldn't make the tourny with those 2 kids leading the way. If I'm the NBA looking at those two kids I'd sure do a deeper dive into how good...

    Honor Huff

    If he came we'd have a tall pg and a short shooting guard. Granted hoops is all but positionless anyway. You want 4 guys on the floor that can all shoot 3s with a 5 that can defend rebound and set screens

    Two Hawkeye Portal Targets Pick Other Big Ten Schools

    Ben had an interview with Leistikow and what little bit I heard teased of it he'd said that they have a big man committed but it hasn't been made public yet. For whatever reason I don't know I look forward to watching the entire interview later today.

    Now That The Novelty Has Died Down Some...

    Horner just got let go by where he was not that long ago so I'm sure he's putting his resume out there. I'd take him Dean Oliver Matt Gatens any of em. But it doesn't look like Ben is going that route

    Two Hawkeye Portal Targets Pick Other Big Ten Schools

    I don't know how high of a ceiling that kid has but it'd sure be nice to land him for no other reason then he's 6'6 and athletic. I want to say Ben had been trying to recruit him before this season shortly after he'd taken the Drake job too but I can't remember where I'd read that.

    Now That The Novelty Has Died Down Some...

    Yeah Iowa couldn't defend a fence post. Had a two headed monster at PG that was really more miss then hit all yr. Couldn't rebound either and those things were universal negatives against everyone we played. Which just went to show that was an Iowa problem not just a we didn't matchup against a...

    Now That The Novelty Has Died Down Some...

    I can only answer a Q like this in hindsight since I didn't watch but a few highlights of Drakes games before the tourny started. In hindsight absolutely I'd take what Drakes guys did over ours. Before hand considering the D2 angle of some of those kids first yrs of being at Drake that's just...
