    PREDICTION POLL: WILL IOWA LAND A PORTAL QB?

    Serviceable. That would be a step up from what they've put out there for a few years now.

    Iowa portal QB

    So, is Lainez yet another bust in the long series of misses at QB? Even given the glacial progression process of Iowa qbs he should be ready to go. Having at least a serviceable mac level backup to CM is a must. As so many others have noted, he's so hobbled at this point that it's hard to see...

    MBB Portal Targets (confirmed contacts)

    Entirely expected that Fran would be pursuing another slow twitch front court player given his roster building history. Desperate need for athletic guards, goes after the other end of the spectrum. If there was an award for most unbalanced roster in the worst way Fran would be a regular contender.

    Bostick to the portal

    Meh. What's to get worked up about? This isn't the case of a proven wr leaving a high powered offense. This is at best a little known and sparingly used wr leaving a disaster of an offense at a position that will have a hard time getting to the number of catches as an entire position group that...

    Perkins to Mizzou

    I don't think they've established a resume yet to command a big paycheck. Tony is essentially a 1 year veteran buy to fill a roster spot. You see that in every sport. Another good year for Freeman and Dix and they may very well have better options for compensation.

    Perkins to Mizzou

    A team can turn it around in one year with the right mix of players being brought in. Even a team that flailed as badly as mizzou last year could have a significant one year turnaround. But beyond that, despite any X feed statements to the contrary, this is about getting paid. It makes absolute...

    Deacon Hill QB1 for spring ball

    I understand the "relax, it's just the spring depth chart" argument. However, the fact that he's still on the roster is problematic itself. To compound that, being QB 1 on the depth chart is inexcusable. He satisfies the bare minimum qualifications of being able to stand upright and take a...

    Why is now not the right time to part ways with Fran?

    I don't see Iowa improving their roster. Payton is fine as far as spot up shooters who are athletically limited go. I certainly don't think he's a major difference maker in the final standings. Whether they are a few games under .500 or manage to surprise and finish a game or 2 over .500, that...

    Why is now not the right time to part ways with Fran?

    I don't see any panic. More so resignation to a continuance of what we've been seeing for several years. Iowa will probably not be the worst team in the league. It is highly, HIGHLY, unlikely they will be the best team in the league. Making it to .500 in the league looks unlikely. Being a...

    Why is now not the right time to part ways with Fran?

    I agree that it's not likely he'll be fired. I'd like to see an amicable parting. Fran has been an OK, not great, coach. It's time for a change. Doesn't have to be ugly.

    Perkins and PMac

    I thought Pat would have had enough of ball at this point. If he wants to keep playing, it's good for him that it's going to be somewhere else. Hope he can have fun and enjoy his last season.

    Why is now not the right time to part ways with Fran?

    Barta was a bad AD. Terrible administrator and in contract negotiations and structure. He was apparently great at sucking up to donors and others with influence that allowed him to keep his job. He is the primary reason Iowa remains saddled with Fran at this point. It doesn't matter how many...

    Two Kentucky boosters have just pledged $4 million for basketball NIL. Our AD has to put pressure on boosters and alumni for NIL...

    I reject the idea that if you're a fan then you must donate to the NIL collective, otherwise just go away. There are a variety of ways to respond to the current pay for play state as a fan in how you spend your money and time. I'm not going to label anyone as foolish for giving money. At the...

    Two Kentucky boosters have just pledged $4 million for basketball NIL. Our AD has to put pressure on boosters and alumni for NIL...

    Meh Iowa football and men's basketball was something I loved as a kid and was passionate about as a young adult. I've changed and those sports have changed. Interest wanes. I'm invested enough to waste time on here musing about them. I watch, sometimes, when the games are entertaining...

    Iowa Men 17th in the B1G next year???

    Better than 17th. But with the roster currently, it's hard to see them getting to .500 in the league.

    SWARM CEO Brad Heinrichs Explains why they Currently are Unable to Support the Men's Basketball Program like they Need To

    NIL is capitalism with almost no regulation. It's a libertarian's delight! Unless your team doesn't have the $$$. As for Tony P., good for him getting paid. He put his time in at Iowa. I have no problem seeing him make some money with his last year of eligibility.

    **** Men's NCAA Tournament ****

    Monster put back dunk. What pu really needs though is some perimeter shooting. Loyer is a waste of space so far this game.

    Arkansas Men's Basketball has at least $5 Million Each Year for NIL to Pay its Players

    I've been ambivalent to razorback basketball for many years. Used to have an appreciation when Nolan Richardson was their coach and the game he had his teams play, despite the bad ending to his time there. Further back I was a fan of Sidney Moncrief for the old schoolers on here. But with this...

    Without Caitlin next year

    Caitlin was a generational talent with a nice, but not spectacular, supporting cast. Of course there will be a fall off. How big is the question. I'm guessing a lot in relative terms. If next season they have an above .500 finish in the B1G make the Dance and win their first game there that...
