    Who excites you the most of the new players? Which of the returnees will have a breakout year?

    This is the guy who I thought would play the role that Sage played this year. Very glad that he has bought into Ben’s system and is sticking around. And now we have two 4-5 stars who are versatile and 6’6”-6’8”. One wasn’t expected (Sage) and one with the accolades.

    VOTE: What do you think ultimately happens with the LAST Roster Spot (14 of the 15 spots are filled)

    A good shooter and a Senior so the scholarship opens up next year.

    *****Andrew McKeever commits to IOWA*****

    My opinion: What impresses the most is his passing! He’s going to find a lot of cutting guys in Ben’s system and get a lot of assists

    IOWA will be spending over $10M on the 2026-27 Roster. Who will Ben land? (Portal opens on Tues, April 7)

    This guy still in play for Iowa?

    I wonder if there is room in the budget for 3, if McKeever pulls the trigger and commits?

    Don’t know if they could afford it but it would be great if they could land Evans at SG, too.

    The guy leaving Cinci is pretty good!

    If they end up getting McKeever, maybe we can convince Baba to come to Iowa?

    This guy finishes better at the rim than the 7’3” guy, statistically speaking, because he dunks everything. I would love to see his energy and effort on the team.

    Funky shot but great results. Also draws a lot of fouls and nails his FTs. He would be a great addition, as well.

    Or his spot here might not be available, which is what you mean by “doesn’t work out with other targets.” I hope Glass makes a flight out to Iowa City in the next couple days and I hope the big center is signed and the 6’9” rim wrecker who can’t shoot free throws.

    McKeever, Decker and Glass

    Who are the SGs? Glass appeared to handle the ball a lot for Wazzu, with the ability to play PG.

    I would prefer Fru. McKeever has size, but Fru is only 4” shorter and much more athletic. They all might have agents who are major pains, though!

    McKeever, Decker and Glass

    This guy would be a fan favorite and opposing fans would hate him. He’s very aggressive in highlights, and an impressive dunker.

    Yes. A big is a luxury, as proven this year, but a PG or lead guard is a must get. A guy who scores and has the ball in his hands 80%+ of the time and plays 39 minutes a game is almost a necessity. Unless it’s a complete overhaul for next year’s system, which seems unlikely.

    He reminds me of Hausen. Thick, not real quick, good shooter.
