Iowa is redefining the word "young"

[storminspank]

By that I am talking about our recruits. With Basabe committed, we now have two of the three 2010 signees that won't be 18 when they come to Iowa this spring/early summer.

"Young" "Late Bloomer" "Potential" - a lot of these words are going to be thrown around...

As long as "young" under Fran doesn't turn into "perpetually young" as it did with Lick I'm fine with that.

Gotta take some risks on a guy's potential when you're coming off the worst 3-year stretch in the the history of the program...

Amen.

Yea, in a perfect world we would red-shirt our 17 year olds....but not an option now.

Win or lose, my sense is that the players will like being around this coach more than they did the previous one. Perhaps that will result in more of them sticking around and becoming upper classmen, and re-establishing a foundation for Hawkeye basketball.
