$$$Freeman used his finger as an excuse to sit and get a medical redshirt and continue playing. Caused a major rift in the locker room and sounds like he wasn’t really welcome anymore after he said he was sitting. He was gone long ago, it was just a timing issue.
That could be. I heard Kansas and others.It is no secret that Dix and Freeman had waaay better offers thrown their way than what they were currently getting at Iowa.
Wasn’t it Marquette rumored to be the one that was going to give Freeman a shitload of money?
Yup
Yep. And this is why NIL should be a bigger priority than who the next coach is. It’s sad, but it takes money to get the requisite players to play in late March if you’re in the big ten. You can deal with the coach once that happens. Not saying Iowa is going to come up with the money, but it’s required firstIt is no secret that Dix and Freeman had waaay better offers thrown their way than what they were currently getting at Iowa.

I would be surprised if he can get a medical redshirt. He played over half the season(19 games).Freeman used his finger as an excuse to sit and get a medical redshirt and continue playing.

What players do you want to stay with the program?Very true, who else will leave.. or will they wait to see who the new guy is?
Well Brock just hopped in the portal this morning so it's a fair question for sureWonder if it's an Owen / Brock package deal?
Great question. Dix for sure but I don't have my hopes up that he'll be staying. Koch I think could be good down the road. Peyton Sandfort. Beyond that I'm pretty apathetic frankly. Harding hopped in the portal this morning. I say blow it up and let DeVries cook.What players do you want to stay with the program?
Iowa hasn't had over 4 million in revenue on ticket sales since 2005, that extra revenue would be huge.How much extra income does an 7k fans bring over a 18-20 game home schedule?
Seems like a great hire would pay for himself.
Well, Tucker, if healthy is probably an all conference player right away, and I heard that he had another 4 star guy that is a potentially NBA guy that would likely follow him where ever he ends upAnyone know much about what WVU has for kids that might come with him or his recruits? I don't anticipate the 2 recruits we had sticking around. Lewis was pretty highly thought of that'd be nice to keep but he's a FL kid so I don't have any expectations on him staying.
Heard that DeVries had recruited three 4-star guys for next season. Plus his son returning after injury. Am guessing any holdup is Iowa trying to figure out how to pay his recuits the same $$ WV had committed.Anyone know much about what WVU has for kids that might come with him or his recruits?

In regards to Tucker is he at the NCAAs mercy for a waiver or is it pretty much a given that he'll be able to play next yr too?Well, Tucker, if healthy is probably an all conference player right away, and I heard that he had another 4 star guy that is a potentially NBA guy that would likely follow him where ever he ends up
no, he's free to move and is already cleared to play next season at WV.In regards to Tucker is he at the NCAAs mercy for a waiver or is it pretty much a given that he'll be able to play next yr too?
