?Fans? I hate stupid people, and this country is awash in them right now, sports fans being no exception. How else do you explain what's happening right in front of their eyes, a process that began a decade ago, and tens of millions still claim to be oblivious. Meanwhile, a tyrant is attempting to destroy 250 years of democracy.
MAGA hates DEI because they can't stand the competition. A bunch of cultist know-nothings who ban books, erase history, deny science, and promote blind allegiance to ignorance, prejudice, racism, childish name-calling, sexual perversion, blatant criminality, and treason cannot be expected to understand anything that's real. They live in a fantasy land where they are superior. But reality is knocking, and the fantasy is going to explode in their moronic faces. IMHO, of course.
*****Bennett Stirtz & Isaia Howard will follow Ben McCollum to Iowa City. Who else will be? 10 of 15 Roster spots filled*****

You're a tiresome half wit striving in vain for mid wit status.
You are right about one thing, this country has a lot of stupid people in it. I would nominate you as Village Idiot.Fans?

Banks played Center most of the time in McCollums system. But he was able to guard almost any position except Point guard. Was great on the pick and roll with Sturtz. 6th man of the year in the Valley.Tavion Banks (6'7 Guard???), in 34 games, averaged 20.1 minutes, 10.1 pts, 5.0 rebs, .70 steals, 1.0 assists, 1.4 turnovers and 52.0% FGs
He shot 9.1% from three (2-22!!!!) and 70.5% from the FT line.

How much? Honestly I'd be shocked if it were much more than Iowa.

How can a guard only shoot 45% from the line? Even Shaq of Hack a Shaq fame shot 58% for his career. We need Dix to reconsider!!Isaia is a Hawkeye, too!!!

Ben and his staff will definitely need to help him get his FT shooting woes fixed.
The stupid laced with delusion is strong here. Start blaming and accepting what has been found rather than denouncing who finds it.Fans?

I'm sure she was on the phone telling everyone the same line "this is what it will take to get him here".

I guess that makes Dix signing even more unlikely. My bro was saying we should get Pryce as a cheaper version of Dix, and that makes sense. Koch also would seem to fit the system as being able to guard multiple positions and shoot the 3 and handle.
if you think he passed the eye test then brock was all league.
Yes please!Bennett Stirtz (6'4 Guard), in 35 games, averaged 39.3 minutes, 19.2 pts, 4.3 rebs, 2.1 steals, 5.7 assists, 2 turnovers and 49.8% FGs

Check this out.
Of the 7 in the transfer portal, I wonder who he'll reel back in. The 7, of course, are Pryce, Cooper, Josh, Brock, Owen, Ladji, Riley.
Healthy pool? Shock and chlorine......... my bad, wrong pool.
maybe so, BUT football still makes the $$$$ and always will.....
Jees, stop with the facts. They don't want to hear that stuff. Not to mention a lot of that $$ goes to retaining stars, who are already on the roster...
That's fine they can be wrong.
Bryston Williams – Assistant Coach
Williams comes to Des Moines after a one-year stint as an assistant coach at the University of Wyoming. Last season, Williams was a part of a Cowboys staff that led Wyoming to an overall record of 15-17 and went 8-10 in Mountain West play
Williams is a familiar face to Coach McCollum both under his tutelage as a player and coach. He spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at Northwest Missouri State and helped lead the Bearcats to a pair of MIAA Championships. As a player, Williams played in 112 games with 71 starts.

Iowa Basketball on FB posted a photo of Ben at about age 10-12ish with Iowa then Head Coach Tom Davis. Just in case you want to feel really old!
Xavier Kurth – Assistant Coach/Director of Player Development
Kurth follows Coach McCollum from Northwest Missouri State where he also served as an assistant.
Kurth competed for the Bearcat men's basketball team from the 2014-15 season through the 2017-18 campaign. Kurth helped the program capture its first NCAA Div. II national championship in 2017.

Yeah, I think it was comparable.
It’s not like ISU was landing big names out of the portal.
The enthusiasm around the program is pretty good right now. That helps open up wallets.
Brad Stevens endorsed Beth for the AD job a couple years ago.
Did Beth hire a Brad Stevens clone?

Great stuff.
Thank you.
I wonder where Banks will end up.
It will be interesting to see what kind of size we get on the roster. We will need it for B1G play.
Welcome Coach and those who will play for you. We're behind you all!
A name like this comes to mind, or that's my hope anyway. Anything like Stevens and it should be a pretty good run coming for Iowa hoops.
39 minutes! Holy shit! This dude is in phenomenal shape!!!Bennett Stirtz (6'4 Guard), in 35 games, averaged 39.3 minutes, 19.2 pts, 4.3 rebs, 2.1 steals, 5.7 assists, 2 turnovers and 49.8% FGs
He shot 39.5% from three and 79.4% from the FT line.
Getting the four most mentioned Drake players is decent base, but McCollum needs a lot more firepower to consistently win in the B1G. Getting a couple Iowa Players (especially Dix, Koch, and/or Pryce) and the Miami transfer would add to that, but it will take a couple of high-level talents, like Fran's best recruit to make this a very competitive B1G team, especially a center. If he can get Dix to come back, this could be the best backcourt at Iowa in a long time. Big if, but I don't think Josh is a greedy young man. Getting closer to home might be a bigger issue for him.
Fans are fans and often don't know the back story. Barta coulda shoulda investigated the back story.
