What do you mean couldn't drink at the bars. The ones that do it right are drinking at the bars in a college town at age 18. Law classes or not she's doing it all wrong.

Our new kid is a 3 or 4 star. He was ranked as the 33rd best center nationally and had offers from a bunch of power 5 programs. I doubt that Fran’s decision to offer had anything to do with the transfer portal efforts. The kid is likely to end up at 7 feet and 250 in another year. Re-building the position with another on board already.

Not these days, at least not in Iowa City. You have to be 21 and the cops are watching it pretty closely. A good friend of mine is an Iowa City cop and he sends us pics of the stacks of fakes he confiscates on a typical weekend.
When I was a senior in high school you could get into the bars in IC at 18 which was great for weekend visits to some freshmen friends of mine. Then went I started at Iowa the age got raised to 19 which was fine because I turned 19 shortly after first semester started. I was already 21 by the time it got raised again to 21 so I really timed it well. Thanks mom and dad!
I'm not going to get excited until I see Lightning say he's got flat feet.

We don't get excited about our big guy recruits until they turn into All Americans. Give us a couple years...

Basing on what I am reading and hearing, he is a bit of a project. Many poo poo'd CJ until you saw him play and it became clear why it was easy to move on from Isiah Moss. Maybe it is the same deal here where we are pleasantly surprised when he steps on the court.
The criticism of Fran's recruiting is legit, but in terms of spotting guys under the radar and developing them, Fran is very good. Frankly, it is his best attribute. Don't be shocked if this kid can ball, coming out of the gate.

Not to worry, we are gonna be a wing-oriented team next year anyway, as opposed to a center team. If he can score 6-8 a game along with whatever Ogendele can contribute and rebound the ball a little (and not be a liability on defense) we will be just fine.
The more time that passes, the more optimistic I get with this team!!

I'm cautiously optimistic about Mulvey - the size/skill combo is very hard to come by so, to an extent , I think you kinda have to take what you can get. Big men are typically slow to develop so, if there are diamonds in the rough to found, often times they will be of the big man variety.

I'm of the opinion Keegan Murray would be able to slide into the center position for a few minutes a game also. I'm pretty sure he played it from pee-wee all the way through High School. He might get pushed around a little, but great defensive position can simply deny the ball in the post.

Guess times have changed since the late 90's lol. I graduated high school in 97 and spent every weekend in Iowa City or Macomb and never had issues getting into bars or served back then. Simpler times lol.

They have changed since I attended college in the mid-70's. Legal age was 18 then. Never had any issues getting into bars (although I did have issues getting out a few times!)

I had a few issues trying to remember where I parked the car when the bar closed [or if I drove it at all.] Ah, growing up in the 70's!

I didn't have a car until I was a senior in college. There were a few times I crawled out of Joe's KnightHawk, though!

Riley's moves remind me of Luka in high school
He has skills and is in early development
His footwork might be a bit better than Luka's was in high school
No team is going to get a Luka Garza
Riley will fit in very well with the Twins, Patrick, Ulis and Perkins and JoeT, of course
CJ and hopefully JoeW are icing on the cake
Perhaps not to a large extent his first year, but I would not be surprised to see
him break out as the season goes on and on

Or crawled.
People diss my hometown of Ottumwa for being a shit-hole [and it is!] but it was a party town in the 70's/80's! It had the nick-name of Little Chicago for a reason.
