    Addie Deal enters transfer portal

    You lost me a bit on your last part here. Why weren’t we able to bring in big recruits?

    Addie Deal enters transfer portal

    I wonder how much of that is that we have an elite center in Ava and didn’t have great guard play. JJ did say she wanted Chat to shoot more. I was super frustrated with some of the forced passes to the post but didn’t help in the tourney when our guards couldn’t make a shot. I know the tourney...

    Addie Deal enters transfer portal

    Me and you must just see the game differently. I disagreed with you on Deal being underutilized and I feel the opposite on Mallegni. When she came in as a frosh, I feel like she was chucking up 3s like she had Peter Jok accuracy but would miss them all. Looked up her 3pt percentage to confirm...

    Addie Deal enters transfer portal

    I didn’t really see anything out of Deal that made me think playing style was holding her back from shining. She’s not very quick. I also think it’s a bit ironic if the Deals are upset on what JJ sold the program as. I could say the same thing the other way. I’m sure Iowa thought it was getting...

    Addie Deal enters transfer portal

    Because we saw her play. Go watch that California stretch. She looked outclassed. I’m sorry to see her go but she was an overrated prospect. Paying her 5* money this year would have been malpractice. If she still wanted that type of money, then Iowa is better off spending it on more proven talent.

    JJ with interesting comments about Journey in postgame

    I don’t get this line of thinking. Once you’re in college, your hs ranking is out the door. I hope Deal improves and ultimately lives up to her pedigree, but she didn’t earn more playing time with her play.

    Do we need to have a conversation about Jan Jensen?

    Jan’s not above criticism but if we shoot half-way decent it’s an easy way. Hard to win when two of your guards miss every shot.

    The clowns want Iowa's money

    Unfortunately, the exact opposite of tuition relief is now happening as schools add student fees for athletics to try to keep up with the Joneses. The only tuition relief is to the non-revenue sport athletes who get to go to school for free for playing a sport no one cares about.

    Additions vs Subtractions

    Better off but would love to get this WR visiting, an immediate impact DT and the RB that visited. As others have said: - Koen was a big loss but got two good sounding safeties - Brian Allen’s best game was kids day several years ago - Rhys had a bad year, could be potential upgrade. - I liked...

    Dochterman & Leistikow discuss the SEC Ponzi Scheme & fact that the B1G now Rules College Football

    You may think using bowl results is stupid but there isn’t a much better way to do a comparison. It used to the SEC fans / ESPN declared the SEC the best because they were winning titles. Then, when Mich and OSU won the last two years, ESPN would say, well the Big Ten has caught up at the top...

    Allen Jr.

    While Dakin was a starter, during the season, I felt like we should go into the portal anyway to find someone better. He wasn’t very good this year. Nestor and Keagan Johnson others I can remember. And Proctor if you count him. Really though, Jacobs and Charlie Jones were well above anyone else...

    Iowa St at Cincinnati

    I don’t know about that. If we play ISU at home and they don’t have their kicker, I think we win. Other than that Cincy beat Kansas and lost to Nebby. I would think we would be 4-1 with their schedule.

    Iowa St at Cincinnati

    Cincy is the least disciplined team on the planet, geez.

    Iowa better off with B. Sullivan

    I believe Gronkowski is better than Brendan Sullivan. However, I assume Sullivan would have cost like $100-200k. Given Gronkowski is getting $2m, would we have been better off with Sullivan plus ~$1.8m on receivers / defense? My opinion is yes. It feels like Sullivan can run just as well. He is...

    Rough passing game; were receivers getting open?; we will need way better than this

    Phillips was so wide open on that first drive. Not sure how the pass was so bad. It was a throw many in the crowd could make. Agree with another poster on Gronowski on the jumbotron during back in black. Also thought he looked incredibly nervous.
