Manyawu will be a senior, multi-year/multi-game starter, 4th year in McCollum’s system averaging around 20 minutes per game.

McKeever is the high priced much sought after 7ft3 transfer with a full year of starter experience.

I don’t see how Jirek plays much if at all with the Manyawu and McKeever manning the low post position. More likely that he takes a redshirt next season.

It may not be a bad idea for Jirak to redshirt.

Brief clip of Ben talking with Tyler Tachman about McKeever. Seems to really like his passing ability. Can't wait to see how he'll implement that in his gameplans.

The big thing I want to point out is that it seems like, for the most part, Ben has identified and landed his top priorities in the portal this year. I could be wrong, but reading between the lines a bit, it seems like Iowa’s top 3 targets in the portal were Drew McKeever, Kyan Evans, and Ty’reek Coleman. Those are the only guys who have visited, to my knowledge. And we secured commitments from 2 of the 3, and were reportedly very close on the third.

In the weeks to come, there will no doubt be more and more rankings of how teams did in the portal this year. We may or may not be rated particularly high. But it doesn’t matter, because we got the guys we wanted.

If we trust Ben McCollum — if we believe he knows what he’s talking about when he says he’s looking for a certain type of player — we’ve got to be incredibly happy with this class, and very optimistic about the future of Hawkeye basketball.

I know most folks are feeling good about this class tonight, but when the dust settles, there’s going to be folks coming out of the woodwork to poke holes in our portal class and our roster in general. Ultimately, we won’t know anything until the games are played. But we should always remember this: Ben got the guys he wanted.

EDIT: Schnarnowski also visited. s/o to @doughuddl2_rivals for the catch.

Based off history, I think it’s safe to say BMC knows what he’s doing.

Obviously, no school is going to go to the Elite 8 and beyond every year, but BMC is going to put out a competitive team every year no matter what. I am pretty confident of that. Plus, it will probably prove accurate that the 25-26 squad will be his least talented.

Actually, when you google former Iowa basketball player Michael Payne’s height, it says he was 6’11”, so I’m sticking with my 6’10” comment. 😉

I was around during those says and I know what they claimed, but the pictures prove otherwise.
