    Caitlin Clark- Wow!!

    As a tall PG who does it all as a frosh, Caitlin Clark is the women’s BB version of Cade Cunningham.

    Projected starting 5

    There’s an argument to be made for anyone in the top 7 to start because they’ve all been starters. 2 questions: What players do you want in at the end of the game? Which getting more minutes are going to make the D better? Because, D’s GOT to get better. #1 answer is JBo. #2 answer is...

    Jordan Bohannon Eye Injury

    After not playing for almost a year, I would not want to be the one standing between JBo and the court.

    5 Freshmen - Who will average:

    If we’re counting Patrick as a frosh, he likely leads in almost all these categories, just from likely being #8 in the rotation. Aside from him: Highest minutes Keegan Murray Most points Keegan Murrays Most rebounds Keegan Murray Most assists Ahron Ulis Most steals Tony Perkins Most turnovers...

    Can Nunge be a better Kriener?

    Agreed. Kriener was a guy you liked watch succeed because he wasn’t overly gifted yet he made it work through grit and hard work. One great gift he had was that long reach. Yet even with that, Nunge had a greater block rate as a freshman than Kriener did as a senior. On another front, Nunge...

    Can Nunge be a better Kriener?

    I agree that the key for Nunge is staying healthy. If he can do that, he’ll build on his confidence and be a key piece for the Hawks.

    Which Big Ten teams have fixed their biggest weakness? (Part 1: Indiana, Illinois, Iowa)

    JoeT hasn’t throw it down very often but he’s made guys like Cowan fear that he’ll blow by them and finish at the basket with that quickness- which he actually did several times last year. Agree about JoeW finishing. A guy his size often has to finish at the rim with a flush. JoeW’s issue...

    Which Big Ten teams have fixed their biggest weakness? (Part 1: Indiana, Illinois, Iowa)

    Yes, thanks for the exact statistics. I knew that JoeT did better from range down the stretch and that kind of improvement can often foreshadow the next season. Joe is the type of guard that is always looking for a crease in the D to drive with his speed (that’s why Cowan called him the...

    Which Big Ten teams have fixed their biggest weakness? (Part 1: Indiana, Illinois, Iowa)

    JoeT is already a great finisher. Remember Anthony Cowans’ statement that JoeT was the hardest player at his position to guard in the B1G. He’s got potential to be a great leader. This year, I’d like to see him be able to consistently hit the open 3 like he did down the stretch last year and...

    Which Big Ten teams have fixed their biggest weakness? (Part 1: Indiana, Illinois, Iowa)

    Interesting point about the TO% difference with JBo. Would hope that JoeT has improved a little from 3pt between Fr-So yrs, which would be big for him.

    Will Luka come back?

    Well, if they’re still considering a football season at this point, you’d have to say that bodes well for a basketball season.

    Leistikow Article about PatMac and ConMac (no JacMac)

    Had to check the article to comprehend PMac’s weight gain: 176 to a present 205 lbs in one year. That is going to seriously change his game.

    SIAP: CBS Sports Poll Hoops Iowa is

    Things you never expected to hear about an Iowa basketball team: “Oh yeah. Iowa adds a 4* forward to the mix too. Probably shouldn’t change their #5 ranking much though. He’s expected to be 8th man in their rotation.”

    Updated Roster

    Goodson to 200 and Byrd to 217 Makes me very happy with the skilled beasts nature of the RB room Lee to 270 makes it obvious why he’s now DL Think he’ll make the rotation somewhere. Linderbaum only up 2 lbs to 290 is somewhat disappointing

    Anthony Cowan says JoeT toughest to guard

    Iowa has more than 5 players more than capable of starting this year. Fans should accept that. Then the rotation of how to use that wealth of talent is the issue and not how the game starts. The Nic Baer story should show that the best 5 don’t always start. Who’s on the floor at the end can...

    Joe T

    When considering starting JoeT, it’s not a matter of who’s “earned” it. Of course, JBo has. It’s a skills rotation issue. It probably won’t happen. But consider the possibility from what skills are needed when. Does the starting lineup in 2020 need more D than O? Yes. Have some players...

    If there are no fans in the stands

    You know some TV exec is considering this: Allow one fan (or family) per seating section with a camera. People pay different prices to see the game from different sections.

    Remaining 4 Star Targets in 2021 Class - Iowa's chances

    Fidone would regret going to NE. Iowa the obvious choice. LSU possible. It looks like Parker just wants to be able to say he’s considered an alternative before committing.

    3pt shooting speculation

    Yours are basically my thoughts and order on this. But think there might be some legitimate claims that CJ could finish higher since I believe his 46% from 3 this year is higher than any of them have achieved as a season average.

    3pt shooting speculation

    Here’s some off-season musing. Suppose Iowa’s predicted starting 5 next year had a 3pt shooting contest like the NBA all-star game. Luka, Connor, JW, CJ, JBo 1) What would be the order of finish be, 1st to 5th? 2) How many (which one(s)) could make 7/10 in such a contest (a decent FT%)? Keep...
