Some nice freshmen. But, they’re freshmen. Not sure who they lose.
Is it too late for Connor to only play baseball and we have Joe T AND Carton lol? Asking for a friend
A Hawkeye reporter got a DUI and blew a .325.
Damn, those are Wisconsin type numbers lol
Damn, those are Wisconsin type numbers lol
Carton wouldn't sign with Iowa.
12-2 then if you are going to include the NCAAT
but when it all said and done heving 23 wins was far more than anyone predicted.

I suppose making it farther than Wisconsin in the tournament and playing better against better teams, than Wisconsin did against a team Iowa beat (excuses = you lose the argument so naturally.....3-2-1) is worse..............but I digress. SmokinSmile
Trivia question: Who was the Big Ten's first loss in the 2019 NCAA Tournament?
It's Wisconsin. SmokinSmile

I really don’t think Ward effects is that much. I actually think we played our best basketball without him, when he had X and Cassius running the pick and roll on offense and X is much much better defensively.
Iowa returns all 5 starters with 5 SR's, the only players that has to leave is former walk on RSSR Baer.
key additions are
RSSO 7'0 Nunge who now weighs 250 lbs after working out in the weight room
RSJR 6'8 Pemsl who dropped from 265 lbs to 235 lbs
these 2 were tied for 5th on the team in scoring
Pemsl had 144 rebounds good for 3rd
Nunge had 25 block good for 2nd and 21 steals good for a T-3rd
so yeah they were both missed and would have been key to Iowa this season. its my hope that these hit the weight room this summer
Wieskamp is 205 lbs and I would like to see him put on 10lbs
Connor is 205 lbs and another 10 lbs of proper weigh will only help
Garza 245 lbs and if he can add 5-10 lbs of muscle
this would help in physical play
not counting on the incoming FR although they will bring something to the court they could use
5'11 165 lbs PG Toussaint needs to add 15 lbs and brings the quickness and ability to be a lock down defender.
6'9 195 lb Patrick who brings the quicks and solid defense who can play the 1-2-3-4 and the 5 in a small lineup, this comes from the AAU Coach of the Minnesota D1 team from this season, plus he stated that Patrick was the most versatile player he has ever coached.

As far as advancing further than you, yes.
But we both had First Round exits in 2006 and 2001. SmokinSmile
Either way......
I don't disagree on X over Ward, but he is another depth piece. This adds up and it becomes Kithier for 20 minutes instead of Ward.
That's probably the difference in one or two games for a season.
Btw, what is the word on Ahrens? What was the plan a month ago? The plan now? Seemed like he had no chance at a fifth year five months ago, but he was a plus player.

I love how Gil just assumes how good these guys will be, lolololol. A true freshman is coming in as a lock down defender, Lmfao.
Ehh, I agree with you that we are better with Ward. He has the potential to go off and have a great game. But far too often he gets frustrated, commits turnovers, and then plays bad on the other end.
I actually really like Kithier, but yeah a Senior Ward would be a better player. Marble may get some minutes as well. I think we’re a still a top 5 team without Ward.
It seems like Ahrens will be back, from what I’ve heard. Good depth piece off the bench.
by the *'s only by ESPN and grades
SR PG Bohannon

CG RSFR Fredrick Gatorade POY in Kentucky MVP in the state of Kentucky's championship game,
they will have 8 4* players by ESPN and 5 by Rivals. top 4 finish is not out of the question with a chance at a run at the BT Championship. next seasons team will have the most talent on paper. in 20+ years,

Gonna miss watching this guy:
Someone's been cutting onions in my apartment.

I’m breaking the rules. UCF guard fouled twice on last play. God I hate that rat face fvcker.
I will throw up if they get Hoiberg. They do not deserve that. I really hope Prohm goes to Alabama and the Mayor goes back to Ames. I can live with ISU being good at basketball. If we want to beat them, we just have to be better. It's one OOC game. Nebraska can get potentially really good on a more consistent basis and affect our average place in the standings if Fran can't find a way to balance his classes and steal a little more out of state talent.
Prep schools don't test for steroids do they? He can't be "fighting through screens" like Jordan Bohannon against bigger guys. Are there any prep schools in Iowa?
Would be corny if ISU intercepted the Mayor on his way to Lincoln.
Tim Miles would be laughing, as he keeps NU in the NIT and prevents NU from announcing the Hoiberg hire.
3 top 40’s and about to land a 7-0 athletic rim protector. Young but loaded. We shall see.
It would be a feel good story in the state of Iowa. I think most Iowa fans share my opinion on if we'd prefer him to be at ISU or Nebraska.
Good god, man. That is some fine recruiting. Envious. However, you're posting here much too early. You have a high seed AAC school (dream match up for a low seed to get to the S16).
you really know nothing about this team do you just for you
PG SR Jordon 4* by ESPN Backup 4* top 100 by ESPN 4* by Rivals RSSO Connor these 2 are from Iowa.
SG RSSR Moss 4* by ESPN out of Chicago Simeon HS backup SR Dailey out of Ohio
SF SO Wieskamp 4* top 100 by ESPN 4* #42 by Rivals backup FR Patrick top 100 4* by both ESPN and Rivals
PF SR Cook #38 by ESPN out of Missouri top 100 by Rivals backup RSJR Pemsl out of Iowa
C JR Garza 4* top 100 by ESPN 4* by Rivals out of Washington DC backup RSSO Nunge out of Indiana
off the bench
SR F/C Kriener out of Iowa
RSFR CG Fredrick out of Kentucky
FR PG 4* Tuissaint out of NY. that makes 8 4* players by ESPN and 5 4* players by Rivals
as I said this is the most talent a Iowa has had in over 20 years.
the defense went from 247th place to 109th place.
the 2020 class will be key, the start this class needs is F 5* by Rivals and top 30 4* by ESPN Foster who is listed as 100% to Iowa by Rivals future cast and 247 has him 100% to Iowa.
maybe because he's from Iowa Fran just needs to pass because according to you Iowa needs more out of state recruits.
I'm very familiar with Iowa's team and recruiting efforts. Thank you, though, for the pleasantly formatted summary. I will link to this post directly the next time someone tries talking smack about Iowa.
Hawk fans, are we not in the transfer market?
Maybe tell Daily or someone else to move on so we can get a grad transfer.
