    Is it assumed Alvaro returns?

    This. Roster limit is 15. Whether they are on scholarship or not is irrelevant, aside from the folks paying the bills.

    Is it assumed Alvaro returns?

    It’s a tough life.

    Technically, no. Yes. See above.

    Who was Dochterman talking about?

    I think the NCAA rightly new that if they cracked the door slightly to allow some forms of direct pay to athletes, it would only be a matter of time before that door was kicked wide open into a pay-for-play free-for-all. They were right.

    I know guys sometimes wear whatever jersey is laying around for these photo ops, but I kind of think #0 looks good on Coon. Maybe he keeps it. Besides, his high school number (#24) is taken by Sage.

    Coon commits!

    I have no doubt that you are 100% right. But going out of your way over and over again to litigate this personal grudge match is just … annoying. I’ve come to respect you as a really good poster, and I appreciate the content you bring to the board. But when you go off on these tangents, well...

    Addie Deal enters transfer portal

    Since it seems to be the thing to do today, let me also brag on my kids -- both in their 20s, both working hard and living independently, and both making short-term sacrifices where necessary to set themselves up for long-term goals. They understand that building a life sometimes requires...

    Addie Deal enters transfer portal

    This. Part of the consternation Iowa fans have about a former 5-star leaving is simply that we rarely land 5-star recruits.

    Addie Deal in portal

    At the very least, there should be a dollar-figure value assigned to those benefits (along with the other benefits athletes receive, including tutoring, meals, weight training, travel, team swag, etc.), and that value should be reported every time athlete compensation is discussed.

    Kaiden Baily

    I could see us taking a couple guards — one who could fill our immediate needs, and one who could be developed for the future. Otherwise we will be right back in this position next year, and I don’t think Ben wants to depend on the portal … he wants to build players from within.

    Interesting. Thanks for the reply.

    Who was Dochterman talking about?

    I found this snippet from Scott Dochterman in this week’s Legends & Listeners podcast to be interesting. He was talking about McCollum as Iowa’s coach, when he said this: Who is the player Doc is referring to? Tony Perkins, maybe? I suppose he may not be referencing Fran with this comment, but...

    Is it assumed Alvaro returns?

    Wasn't there a play earlier in the season when Alvaro kind of did something similar -- refusing to let go of the ball well after the whistle had blown? I can appreciate the tenacity, but not when you end up at risk of getting T'd up or ejected.
