Portal Activity:
> 1529 in the transfer portal as of 9:00p 5/22/25. Jan got 2 she wanted. Portal closes for the Hawks!
> 972 committed | 50 Withdrew (~67% off the board, ~33% remaining). ~0.1% off the board on 5/22/25.
> Portal is closed. Players can still enter it with a coaching change. Only 1/3 remaining for new homes.
> Jan found the scoring guard/forward (Emely Rodriguez) on a Hawk Central podcast 4/30/25.


Potential Needs (Jan says she's looking for 2 in the portal):
- Ball Handling to break a press (replace Lucy) -> Chit-Chat Wright
- Deep 3s to open lane (replace Lucy) -> Chit-Chat Wright -> Emely Rodriguez
- Top Scorer (replace some or all of Lucy's production) -> Chit-Chat Wright -> Emely Rodriguez
- Stretch 3/4 Forward (replace Syd type guard/forward/shooter) -> Emely Rodriguez
- 4/21/25 - Jan talking on OnIowa Live about #1 spot and #3/4 spots


Best Players Available in Portal For Our Possible Needs:
Stretch 3/4:
> Saige Stahl (Indiana State) - Pros: She had good GmSr's against P4/5 teams. She has a good Player Efficiency Rating (21.0) and very high Scoring Efficiency rating (want 1.200 or higher and she has 1.461); Cons: Not big on 3's @ 28.5% (2 for 7). Ast/TO is not good but many forwards get hit in this area. "Last resort" insurance policy backup and probably not cost an arm and a leg
> Courtney Dahlquist (Campbell) - Pros: 37.% 3pt% Cons: Didn't play well against all three P5 teams.

Non-3ptrs (longer shots that can't stretch the floor so I doubt they're even considered):
>Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda (Texas)


Just not a lot of talent left to work with.

Did you guys see that DeSanto is in Pennsylvania this week and training with Bassett. I am guessing he is helping Bo get ready for U20s.

With 98% of our team last year in the portal, this seems like a very important portal year for the Hawks.

Let’s get Stirtz obviously! Also that Isiah Howard would be a welcomed addition from Drake.

I come to this site daily hoping to see a headline that BM has landed some game-changing recruit or a highly ranked transfer. After the initial flurry since his hiring and word half (exaggeration) his Drake squad is following him, nothing.

My excitement has waned incredibly. We won’t know until we see the product on the floor, I know, but right now I’m not seeing an upgrade.

Jimmy Chitwood, where are you?

First confirmed case of measles reported in Iowa since 2019​

An unvaccinated adult in central Iowa has tested positive for measles, marking the first confirmed case of the highly contagious respiratory virus in the state since 2019, the state Department of Health and Human Services said.

Iowa HHS wrote in a release Friday, May 23, that the case tested positive through the State Hygienic Laboratory. The state hasn't released the identity of the person who tested positive nor where they are from. No widespread public exposure is expected through the case, and an investigation has been completed.

Iowa is among 31 states that have confirmed measles cases involved in a growing nationwide outbreak that has totaled 1,024 cases, including three deaths because of the illness this year.

You don't say, Captain Obvious. The petty racial jealousy in that league is ridiculous. Apparently some of them don't or can't realize the way she has elevated the women's game for ALL of them.


Stephen A. Smith: Black WNBA players resent Caitlin Clark attention

Not that there is a lot of Hawkeye basketball to talk about right now, I thought rather than 40 different threads, why not just have a mega thread. Up tonight, game #6, and they need that first win. I think they finally get it.

Trump will show’em! Wants tariffs with EU to move to 50% starting June 1st, with his recent tweet. His tariff is aimed at Apple…but tariffs cannot be “specific” but country oriented.

Okay, new season officially today, so new thread for those thinking the old one was too unwieldy. By my math, the fever can only carry 11 to start the season, and then have to wait 7 games to sign another rookie or brown on a prorated contract. I predict the 11th spot goes to timpson, and hall gets added after 7 games. What say you?
