Andy Katz's 5 Faves for Iowa this past season. Out-performed this year; the future could be brighter

We already know the talent that can return next season.

In some way-too-early 2020-21 preseason ranking predictions, Iowa is in the Top 10.

In the meantime, here are 5 minutes of highlights from this past season.

Enjoy.


 
The only people who wouldn't put Iowa Top 10 going into next season likely don't follow the B1G and assume Garza is gone because he's a junior who is cleaning up Player of the Year honors left and right. If I covered the B1G or SEC and read about a Pac-10 player like that from a distance I would 100 percent assume he's gone.

We all assume Garza is coming back because 1) Unfinished business 2) His NBA draft stock won't be that high even coming off this monster season. So why not come back and enjoy your senior year.

Here's the thing though: Say Garza leaves.

Imagine Cmac distributing to a healthy JBO, second year CJF and recalibrated JoeW. Impossible to guard that. Put Pemsyl, Nunge or one of the freshmen at the 5.

That alone puts Iowa in the Top 25 in my book.
