That isn't true. Iowa is fairly deep, but most of the depth comes from the 4 position- McCabe, Basabe, Uthoff and White.
Josh would have been one of the first off the bench.
With losing Oglesby to injury, does this cost Iowa any early games?

How so?
Last time I checked we still played on two ends. Our guard court defense has been considerably weakened and I expect Xavier to be a real handful for us now. A quick point guard could put anyone of the three remaining experienced guards on the bench and really put a stress on us. We don't yet know about Mikes foot or his hand for that matter either.
Let's watch tonight's game and we'll have a little better idea of where we're at. At this juncture even with Josh's poor % for last year I don't know where the 3 ball is coming from without him. I do know he's been a threat that has made a spacing difference on the floor and his work ethic coming off screens has made other teams adjust defensively.

Maybe so, but Horner took as many 3-pointers as Josh has attempted.

Jeez, when does football spring practices start?
He shot the best of anyone on the European Tour....that is more recent than last season, so evidence that he was getting in a good shooting groove.
He's supposedly been in a good shooting groove when it doesn't count for two years, don't see why things would all of a sudden be different this year and he's European Tour shooting certainly didn't translate against Augie.

His passing is superior and his D have improved each year. He doesn't make many mistakes on offense, other than missing threes along with the rest of the team. He might be the most sure-handed player on the team and is basketball savvy. He will be missed to a degree, but we will have plenty of players who will gain experience with his absence.....

I remember Horner as being a good three point shooter, except for his freshman year when he was reluctant to shoot the three.....

Barometric pressure is slightly different in Europe than it is in the US, so guys might shoot well there and then when they get back in the States, they don't shoot quite as well.

It may cost us to win a couple of more games
This may actually be a blessing for a few reasons...
1) jok will be forced to play a few more minutes and will be able to get more acclimated offensively and learn how to play defense.
2) it will open up minutes at the 2 for jok which gives more minutes to uthoff at the 3 and I believe uthoff will be the most important piece to iowa getting to the next level as a team. He will be needed to pick up for how teams will key on marble and try to keep white away from the hustle pts. This will open up guys like uthoff and gesell but uthoff can help in more ways than gesell as he can do those hustle pts for white and shoot the 3 ball too. His game is such a compliment to everyone that we need him as soon as possible to get acclimated.
3) it might actually get ogelsby to learn to get his feet in a better position before he catches the ball which could get him a quicker release. And a more consistent shot. Plus it could get him to focus even more on a consistent stroke and make him more of a set shooter and lose a little lift from his feet on his shot which could also help him with his consistency. Lots of ifs but I think he is a hard worker and this could benefit him even though playing is good maybe this might help more than we realize.
