If Cook leaves...

[skinnykilmer17]

Is Pemsel the obvious choice? What does he bring that Cook doesn't?

Basically, can Iowa be better as a team with Pemsl and Nunge sharing the 4?

 

[JG10Hawk]

Nunge would be the starter at the 4, I'd be shocked if he wasn't.

Where is Cook going? He's not getting drafted. Unless he's going to graduate and become a grad transfer.

China if he plays pro basketball

It feels like a trade-off. If Cook leaves Nunge/Cook both stay, if Cook stays one or both leave. If Cook stays, Fran probably has to convince one of those guys to stick around, preferably it would be Nunge.

Because of Iowa's backcourt issues you really need Moss to come back. JW could give you what Moss gave you at the 2, but JW at the 3 and Moss at the 2 makes Iowa a better team.

Prediction: Everybody stays and Fran has to pull Toussaint's scholarship.

Wouldn't he just have Patrick walkon?

You sell that kid on becoming a walk-on.......or is he gone?

We have enough scholarships for both Patrick and Joe even if Tyler stays. Which I hope he does, he has improved every year and makes this team better

nunge is (reportedly) almost 7'0"/250+. so, he needs to be given every chance to prove himself. he could be a true and legit stretch 4. I really don't think there's much a chance that cook comes back. his reaction after the game sort of tells me he isn't. but we shall see. if cook comes back, fran does have a numbers problem. but i think pemsl would go somewhere else. pemsl is the odd man out no matter how the lineup would shake out. but who knows.

and Moss comes back?

 

[Cableman]

and Moss comes back?

I believe that we do

 

[trj]

I believe that we do

man, that's a lot of mouths to feed.

 

[Fryowa]

Nunge could be our first legit B1G “big man” in god knows how many years. He should get Cook’s minutes until he proves he can’t hack it.

 

[Cableman]

man, that's a lot of mouths to feed.

Yes

Not if I was coach . Top 8 play . The rest can take the train

 

[trj]

Yes

I think I rather have Cook leave and Moss stay.

 

[Seth53]

I doubt MD comes back.
Four minutes today speaks volumes. Nobody ahead of him is going anywhere.

i get what you are saying, but that will turn into a lot of wasted recruiting efforts.

In the end it really doesn't matter. We need a PG.
