I think the Iowa vs. Notre Dame matchup will be a great game! Notre Dame is no slouch as they return 4 starters from a 25 win team last year. Iowa looks to be very strong as well returning almost all of their key players. With Coach McCaffrey's ties to the Notre Dame program I'm sure he will be...

Ulis will be a good college point guard, I have zero doubt about this. I have seen him play live a few times along with talking with other players that have competed directly against him. Basically from what they told me is that he can pretty much get wherever he wants to on the court with the...

Where things get muddied is the runners for agents along with school boosters. More often times than not coaches are not directly involved with money situations. The biggest issue with coaches are when they hire AAU coaches or player's relatives and what not. The behind the scenes things that go...

You are welcome to your opinion but I will trust what coaches like Izzo, Donovan, McCaffrey etc have to say or believe. For the record if you actually have seen his videos and you still believe what you posted I think that speaks to your lack of evaluation skills. Take a look at the overwhelming...

All positive for Iowa! Building the resume early 3 game guarantee is also a really nice added bonus A destination that these guys will all look forward too, along with their families that also make the trip. A great destination for the fans also Level of competition early in the season is a good...

McGary will not come close to be the B1G POY next year. He benefited more from playing with Burke than any other player combo in the conference. He is a solid player wh had a great run in the tourney but that alone doesn't translate to him becoming their go to star next season. Hammons is far...

It may seem a little overboard to some but I'm not talking about shotblocking or making super athletic plays I'm talking being the back line leader of the defense and he knows exactly what he is doing out there which is rare for a kid his age. He made mistakes like frustration fouls and such but...

I think you are overplaying the short arms thought. Adam's wingspan is just fine. Both players have a ton of potential, I just think people don't quite understand how polished and skilled Adam's defensive game is. Rarely do freshman understand how to play post defense/positioning at the D1...

Nothing personal intended but you either didn't pay very close attention to Woodbury when he played or you have just convinced yourself that since Gabe is more athletic that he is better. Gabe is a better all around athlete than Adam is, that's a fact. That is where the argument should end...

I agree 6th seems pretty fair at this point. Next year's team could finish anywhere from 1st to 7th in the conference. The margin for error in the B1G currently is too small to accurately predict the final standings so early. So much parity is a good and bad thing imo. Lots of opportunities to...

I've never met or worked with Coach K but that doesn't surprise me. I have seen coaches from all levels of college basketball do similar things. They know that it is nearly impossible to govern all that type of behavior especially with the AAU circuit. Unless someone is recording them there is...

The job certainly has potential and low expectations, but there are a few problems to fix. There facilities are atrocious compared to other B1G schools. Recruiting to Rutgers is an up hill battle due to zero tradition. An apathetic fanbase which is located in a densely populated area with many...

I got a chuckle out of it when he said it. I was lucky enough to work a couple camps with him a good time ago, and he is as nice of a person you could ever meet. There is a reason he is a good recruiter, kids loved his personality and he made playing the game fun for his kids. Yes he did break...

Fran is not a big fan of redshirting players unless it is absolutely necessary. In the case of Clemmons and Olaseni I think they are very much in the same mold as far as career progress meaning, both are solid defenders with obvious athletic ability. Both are kind of at a point where the light...

The moment the media got their hands on that practice tape he was as good as gone. As well he should be. I've spent alot of hours in gyms across the country and have never seen anything remotely close to what Rice was doing. I am amazed that there was never any reported physical altercations...

I'm not sure why so many expect that Iowa would have lost their first round matchup in the NCAA tourney, I'm not so sure about that. Look the Hawkeyes have won ALL of their NIT games by double digits. 2 @ home, 1 road, and 1 neutral. With the way they are playing ball I think they would have...

I think Devyn will be rewarded nicely by coming back next season. He will have a full fairly experienced team with a couple new options in Jok and Uthoff surrounding him which I think will only help open things up more offensively speaking. He could be set for a very big year statisitically.

He is definitely on the thin side, although I think he is a guy who still be pretty effective with that body type. Kind of a wirey strength. Neither him or Aaron are gonna turn many head's in the weightroom that's for sure. I think Fran knows if he wants more beef inside than he will have to do...

I agree Aaron has a very non traditional style of play. He is at his best when things are at their most hectic if that makes sense. His biggest weakness is in a slowed down half court game. He is best after offensive rebounds or in transition. He is to a degree a garbage man type. He has a...

You make a very good point, real live game atmosphere is difficult to simulate, and does often breed different results. I can only go on what I saw in a couple limited scrimmage sessions and parts of practices. IMO, based off what I watched he will do well next year. He has the skills necessary...
