In Woodbury, Cole sees what McCaffery sees and what North Carolina’s Williams saw, what Williams has seen in the many excellent centers he has coached over the years.

“His length is crazy,â€￾ Cole said. “Whenever he figures out what he can and can’t do, I think it will benefit him and the Hawkeyes.

“I love his potential. He’s 7-foot, he’s long, he’s athletic. You didn’t really see that a lot tonight, but we will get to see that, and I’m excited about that.â€￾

Still hard to believe we've gone from utter despair to glimmers of greatness in just a couple years.

The Hawks have gone from trying to decide which walk-on may have to start, to how to divide up minutes between guys that need to be playing.

I think we haven't seen anything yet as far as tempo, and I wonder if we will see Fran do wholesale substitutions like Mr. Davis.

I always liked Mr. Davis's policy that if he pulled you out of a game , he decided when you went back in. Whereas if you pulled yourself out, you decide when you went back in.

The best thing about having to divvy up the minutes, is that the guys that do Not put in the extra efforts, will make it easy to give their minutes away. To be a member of the Iowa Hawkeyes, now, means that you have to bust your a$$ and train that much harder to be a member of this team. If you don't you will be shown the door. That will make this team better even faster.

You can have talent, but if you do not train with maximum effort, you will be riding the pine for this Iowa Hawkeye team. You can have the talent of Melsahn Basabe, but if you do not practice hard & train harder, someone else be taking your minutes...

Fran has built us a team that will continue to rise quickly. This team will be mid to late 80s great soon. Maybe even starting this coming season. Very soon, regardless. Love it!
