He is an easy “ignore”
Such a partisan lunatic
Pretty easy, I imagine. Beth talks to donors about potentially hiring BM. The pitch is something like “are you willing to donate X dollars to Swarm if we can get the deal done?” Beth takes the information back to BM and says, “if you are willing to sign the contract, we’ve secured a NIL pool of X amount.”
Your latter point is also true, both things can be correct.
Lickliter got 3. I think BM will be much more successful, but it’s not out of realm of possibilities it’s a short run.

The current NIL system is not sustainable and I am not a big fan. I can still happily follow Iowa sports. Both those things can be true.
If we can somehow convince Dix to stay we may have the best guard lineup in college basketball next year. And we all know that guards are the key in college basketball. Give me those two, Pryce and a couple big guys that can defend and rebound.
Speaking of rebounding....

If BMac is here for 15 years, it will mean that he has shattered FM's wins record and it could be the most successful 15-year stretch in Hawkeye basketball history.
I'll sign up for that.

No doubt. Honestly, he's such a want of be!
In this group, Johnson-Arigu will be important to hang on to. Diakite has upside that McCollum can work on. Hope this roster adds some Iowa players and maybe 1 or 2 Drake players soon. Then, look to the portal to fill holes.Hope you are right.
So, this is the current 7 man roster, correct?
Bennett Stirtz
Isaia Howard
Chris Tadjo
Carter Kingsbury
Seydou Traore
Badara Diakite
Isaiah Johnson-Arigu
Would have been nice for Dix to stay (who knows, if BMac really wants him, he might), but I will gladly take that swap.Look at who is #1 and #3 in the Transfer portal.
when you think about it, especially now a days, to still have 7 on the roster is a minor miracle.
If he's as good as they say he is it won't take 15 years to break Frans record.
Aren't reports saying BYU offered some kid $4m...crazy times we're living in
A.J. Dybantsa, the #1 recruit in the nation, and a similar level to Flagg.
Iowa needs to get a GM to do this crap and let McCollum do what he does best, coach.
It is. This might allow a guy like McCollum to take some lower level recruits and redshirt them. Most of his point guards redshirted their freshmen years.
Yeah. The thing about these big $ NIL pools that amazes me is this - they spend most of the pool each year, right? So, basically they start from scratch each year?
So, not only do you ask a big donor for $100,000, so ask them to give it every year. Not tax deductible.
Astonishing.
Tonje was a okay but nothing special player on a bad mountain west team and then coming off an injury, I do not think it's fair to use an outlier player like that to evaluate the rankings. It would have been insane to predict that he'd be an all American, Wisconsin guard development is just crazy. Look at what happened to Storr as soon as he left or Johnny Davis turning into an all time draft bust.

I wonder if Stirtz is giving Iowa and BM a deal. Reported Dix is a $1.5M player in the portal. Dix would eat up 1/3 of Iowa's portal bank account. DAMN!
