Kaminsky and Happ were Ryan guys. I won’t be 100% convinced until his guys are gone and they still finish top 6.
What does each Big 10 team lose?

Not if he's used ( allowed
) the same way as the last 10 games of this season.Cook finished the season with team-leading averages of 14.5ppg / 7.6 rpg - respectable.
Thru the first 25 games, the team was 20-5 and he was going 16.3ppg / 8.1 rpg
The last 10, he was 10.3 ppg / 6.5 rpg. (including 18 / 8 in the last really good reg season W at Indy)
The team beat Cinci and damn-near Tennessee with him going 5 / 5 and 11 / 2, respectively. The team fell apart when he started playing perimeter / top-of-key picks. They regrouped to be competitive against high-level opponents with him making bench-level contributions.
Garza, Kriener (and, hopefully, Nunge / Pemsl) will easily fill his void and be more reliable / less liability.
The key guy who needs to return is Moss. At least he elevated / expanded his game this season with his ability to drive and finish. If he takes another step (or, just stays consistent with both the drive and shooting), he's going to be a big contributor.
I also expect Jo-Vies to elevate to a leadership role, where, as a Frosh, there were times he may have been hesitant to take over. I can easily see him going from his 11 / 5 avg to 14 / 7 - which is exactly where Cook ended up.

The intent is to make comparisons right?
It is what you are doing here:
HawkeyeDug posted a spreadsheet listing all the incoming recruits. It should be fairly easy to list what each team loses compared to what they have coming in.
After seeing what each team loses and what each team is getting I think Iowa is going to be an upper division team. I don't see them competing for the conference title but they should be in the mix for the top 4. I feel this way with or without Cook.
Shit I'm being saying that same kind of thing since Tucker left the program over a decade ago. Whoever they lose they always seem to have someone else developing.
With the way they play defense they can get away with having middling offensive teams.

I agree about Moss. It’s a guards-game these days. Would love Moss to return and average 12-15 a game as a senior and really up his stock for playing some type of pro ballNot if he's used ( allowed
