Another former Drake Bulldog has committed to play for Ben McCollum at the University of Iowa.

Manyawu and Kael Combs were teammates at Wyoming and transferred together to Drake.
As of right now we have this potential starting lineup for this fall. Easy to project as they are the only ones on the roster that I am aware of.
1 Bennet Stirtz
2 Kael Combs
3 Seydoux Traore
4 Cooper Koch
5 Cam Manyawu
It's a start and can only get better from here!!
Go Hawks
Combs committed? I missed that one. Nevermind I see that it just happened also.
Here are a few highlights of Combs

It definitely will add continuity to Ben's way of coaching.Thusfar two starters and a sub have followed from Drake. The continuity with these players and the coaches he's bringing along from Drake will undoubtedly help with the transition. I can only imagine how helpful it will be to have 2 starters -- especially a great PG -- who know the system and can guide and help instruct the Iowa players who stay plus any incoming transfers.
