Yeah, I didn't mean to present a complete list. I just showed a format that would give a long term perspective of Iowans as Hawkeye starters as a measure of what the long term pattern has been. I just popped in a few years from different eras.

and a few I didn't recall.

^ This post is ridiculous.

Who cares what state the kids we recruit are from. Recruit top level basketball players from all states that will win games, thats the objective.

All this "get Iowa kids, pride, passion, integrity" is complete garbage.

Because if Iowa goes your route and trys to over recruit the state of Iowa, Fran will be out of a job just like Lickliter. I'm all for going hard after the elite Iowa players, but going after Iowa kids because their Iowa kids is completely absurd.

Recruit good basketball players from anywhere, bottom line.

Dead-on response. Get the best kids available ... be it from Iowa, California, Ireland ... Let the Drake and UNI's take care of the local kids.

This is true...but an Iowa offer would change that list in a heartbeat.
