    Some portal possibilities

    Danilo Jovanovich transferring from Miami and hails from Milwaukee. Had IL and PSU offers out of high school. 6'7, 200 PF. He looks like a Fran player from the highlights. Runs the floor, scores at all 3 levels, decent handles. Suspect he he ends up at WI or Marquette.

    Iowa women should try to schedule LSU at neutral site next year

    LSU will reload with another all star team of transfers. I doubt Mulkey bothers with recruiting high school players. Easier to pull 1-year players from the portal and sell them on competing for a national title.

    It would be nice, just once, for Iowa to have refs give them a game

    Officiating was bad but when a team that has shot 19% from 3 for the tourney shoots 75% in the first half and an 8 ppg bench player scores 21 you are going to struggle. LSU had too many scorers and unfortunately they were all on. Reese is a clown. After the 10th over the back or blatant...

    Tyler Nickel from UNC off the board after committing to Virginia Tech.

    Cade on Cooper

    There wasn't an option for 'it depends' so I went with yes. My point being that if the offense can sustain drives and stay on the field, DeJean can definitley have an impact. If the defense is logging heavy minutes due to 3 and outs, then I would lean towards no as even a freak athlete like...

    Kirk and Brian might give this some thought

    Interesting post by the OP. Agree it's a little harder for one player to have the impact in football that Clark has in hoops but I think of Dwight, Banks, Tate and even Charlie Jones as dudes with the ability to make something special happen on any play with their unique talents. Dwight was...

    Caleb Grill from ISU and Jordan Davis from Wisconsin in the portal. Not sure how Grill has two years remaining after starting at ISU going to UNLV back to ISU now back in the portal.

    If FAU can make F4....

    How many FAU games did you catch this season? Probably as many as me--0. Fran is in a P5 conference that has 95% of games televised on BTN or FOX. Kids want to play on the big stage, be on TV, and have a chance to play in the league. Did FAU put one of the top NBA rookies into the league...

    If FAU can make F4....

    Well stated. If you look at the composition of Iowa's roster vs. the teams that made the Sweet 16, there aren't many similarities outside of Princeton. I don't see other P5 teams enamored with loading up on in state kids to the extent Fran has. I know I am going to get the 'What about...

    What's wrong with this Louisville player's statement . . .

    For the most part I have thought the officiating has been decent in both tournaments. The two calls that seem most subjective are the lowering the shoulder by the offensive player and the body checks by defenders. I have thought both tournaments have been fairly well officiated and if one...

    Some portal possibilities

    I would add Lars Thiemann from Cal to the list. 6'10, 250. Dude has a big body, moves pretty well and averaged almost 10 ppg. Watching all the teams in tourney without a true 5 makes me question the necessity of traditional posts in today's game. Conceptually I like the idea as you can play...

    Some portal possibilities

    These are not ranked just a random list of names based on (3) criteria. 1) No big names or from the elite blue blood programs. 2) Need based. 3) Guys that should not get a ton of interest from the elite blue blood programs. So, I think I am being extremely reasonable relative to what...

    Part 2 of "Program needs a new direction"

    Don't agree. Watch what ISU does in the portal compared to Fran. FDU made the 2nd round with a new coach and (3) D-2 transfers oh btw, they beat # 1 seed Purdue. It's not easy I get it, but it's not that hard to affect something better than 11th, 13th, and 14th defensively in the big ten the...

    Can we just find some athletes that can play?

    If Brauns to Iowa comes to fruition, I think he will be a good add. I saw him play at IC West a few times and while his bball skills were raw, he was pretty bouncy and had a good frame that it appears has filled out at Belmont. His experience will be invaluable.

    Can we just find some athletes that can play?

    I realize recruiting is a crapshoot but if Fran isn't capable of better then he needs to adjust his style of play. Kris and Sandfort took bad shots early in the shot clock all season. Shot discipline was awful this year but Fran just kept babbling about everyone having the green light. At...
