In addition, he turned into a decent 3pt shooter this year. Just didn’t take many.

Went from 9% last year to 44% this year.

Still a lot of upside and room for improvement in his offensive game.

Would like to see him back.
I hope the same thing happens with Howard (he was 28% from 3). Love his motor, but being undersized, I think he really needs to improve his outside shooting. Otherwise it's tough for him to score around the rim consistently against Big 10 opponents.

Well I think we ALL know the NCAA will not do Iowa any favors and make a quick decision. For some reason they don't like us, our coaches, WHATEVER.

And that decision does and should still piss people off... The NCAA decisions are ridiculous, Ott played 3 seasons in 4 years and got screwed and now you have people playing 5 and sometimes 6 seasons and transferring 4 times. Make it, MAKE SENSE!!!

While he got bent over, you can't relate it to anything happening now. NO one could have foreseen the idiocy of what's going on now.

I may be off a bit in the details, but back in 95, stud incoming Fr. LB, Vernon Rollins was held up by the NCAA Clearinghouse and it took a few games for them to finally say he's good to play. That's my first memory of the NCAA jerking Iowa around.

what happens if we just play the guy from game 1? if he's cleared all's good. if he's not, forfeit a few games and pay a fine at some point in 2029 ?

They would definitely not clear him if Iowa did that I'm sure. I'm still ticked over the drew ott deal. Ncaa blows

i’m sure you are right but that also seems to be a legit approach for winning titles in college sports

Drew Ott got royally screwed... probably because he was white and came from a good family.
