That seems like a waste of time. Is he really going to do all this messing around and end up at Northwestern? Doubtful

The only reasons I could see NW is because Ben really likes Carmody, it's close to home, and he knows a lot of guys on the team.

Wisconsin and Northwestern. It is obvious he wants to play a slower paced, set play type of ball. I imagine because he can be a spot shooter. Iowa is going totally opposite of this now and the opportunities won't be there for him as much. Fran sounds like he wants to penetrate and transition...not Ben's cup a tea.

Does he really want to go to a program that has an even worse chance at making the NCAA tournament?

But yet you think Payne is a good fit for Fran's offense?

Than Wisconsin? Yes. Than Iowa? He** no!!
NW has best chance and legit chance to make tourney next year. Iowa will be lucky to win 10-15 games.

Payne proved in BTT game that he can be agressive. Fran has said that Payne will fit. Payne even said he wants to play Fran's offense, because that is what he played in high school!

Payne will do very well in Fran's offense. His style was what Lickliter wanted him to do this year, not what Cully is capable of.

If I were in Brust's position I would go to NU. The kid ain't going to the NBA, might as well get the best free education he can.

Exactly Stormin! Cully played in a Fran-like offense throughout high school.
But I bet it won't be as great as that Hoiberg-uptempo style. I saw some tape of it.......oh wait, there isn't any tape because it doesn't exist!

Anytime you make a prediction about a team making the tourney and that school has NEVEr made the tourney before, you might want to re-evaluate your prediction

Guys, no I am not saying he will be a Hawk...but he is not the one that filed with the BT for th is latest appeal. It was Wisconsin...they likely filed to have a chance. IMO, nothing has been finalized and Ben is still weighing his options. Take it for what it is worth...

Did I miss something? The highlights I saw of Ben was not slow paced methodical BB.

spot-up shooters get better and more good looks in a transition type basketball system than a half-court system. the only reason bohannon got so many looks is because evan turner is a man-child handling the ball.

Who cares, this kid isn't going to be in a Hawkeye uniform.

I'm having trouble figuring out what Evan Turner has to do with the open looks Bohannon gets?

Both teams' primary school color is red?

Evan Turner is so good that even when teams didnt play against him they still thought about facing him, causing mental lapses on defense and creating open shots for Wisconsin players
