Creighton gets up and down the court Freeman (not a fan) better lose his middle fat and be in better shape to be effective at CU. Creighton lost their PG Ashworth, center Kalkbrenner, and the 2 to the portal. So next year will be a rebuild IMO.
*****Bennett Stirtz & Isaia Howard will follow Ben McCollum to Iowa City. Who else will be? 9 of 15 Roster spots filled*****

I see and appreciate what you did there.
Dix will make good money next year at Iowa. Maybe not quite as much as at Kansas, but he’s guaranteed to be a major piece at Iowa whereas he could easily be like that Wisconsin guard that went to Kansas this year and barely played. No way that kid is getting drafted now.
All else being equal I think it’s best for his long term earnings to stay at Iowa.

DePaul transfer Conor Enright (6'2" guard) averaged 7.5 points, 6.2 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game this past season. He started his career at Drake. He'll be in Iowa City Monday.
Pretty sure Hayden never coached against Woody in the Big.
Didn’t Bielema do something similar? I think again ISU?
He met Jim Walden after the game his senior year and told him something close to “It’s been a pleasure kicking your ass for the last five years.”
I only saw the last two Drake games, so I have a very limited perspective, but it was interesting to me how little Stirtz had the ball in his hands. He was impressive when he tried to make plays, but often the rest of the team was trusted to make plays as the clock was running down. Stirtz seems much more like a combo guard, much like Dix. Dix has a little more size, so he can also play 3. I really really want to see them in the same backcourt, with both given the green light by their coach to make plays.
I don't think this is accurate. Because of the lack of shooting their offense was very heavily reliant on "oh crap time is running out better give it to Bennett" and hoping he'd bail them out with his tough shot making. I do think he and Dix have a lot of similarities in terms of skill set and I think they'd be great together specifically because they're both big guards with a diverse skill set but Stirtz is wired much more like a top star and is a lot better at running a pick and roll which is the bread and butter of McCollum's offense.
Imagine if we get not just #1 but #4!!!
1,100 in the portal. Crazy.

Lute Olson had a program (with Jim Zabel) usually aired before a game.. had a segment called “Letters to Lute”.. you could write in and ask Lute questions
That is what I expected from reports, but it isn't what was happening most of the time in Drake's last two games, maybe because opponents were keeping Stirtz from getting the ball as much as he had it throughout the year. I'm not trying to say Stirtz is not a great player.
They were able to get into their actions a little earlier and get a lot of stuff at the rim against Mizzou but he had like twice as many attempts as the second place guy in the Texas Tech game
Sounds delicious, as long as they keep the brewmaster for Swarm allllll the way away from it. That stuff is garbage.
Full text of tweet:
Ben McCollum is hopeful to retain some of Iowa's top players in the portal like Josh Dix, Pryce Sandfort, Cooper Koch, others. Thinks it's important they feel the love from fans, too.
After a 15th-place B1G finish, "How cool would it be for some of them to be … moving towards the top? And that they’re the reason for the change. They’re loved here. We love our Hawkeyes. We love Iowa.”

hopefully Owen turns out to be a major bust
I do not hope ex-players fail. I will not cheer for them. But the old saying "once a Hawkeye always a Hawkeye" does not fit players like Freeman. They chose not to be Hawkeyes and yes, I know $$$ matter. Now with Dix, if it is due to family issues that could be a different situation.
I’ll admit it, I’ve said it to people for awhile.
Freeman rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.
If Dix goes to Kansas for example that is only like 40 miles closer to CB than Iowa City is. If he chose Creighton that would make sense for being closer to CB.
Come on Fran, you're better then that! Once a Hawk always a Hawk as they say. Let it go.....
Kind of an arrogant cockiness IMO
I think he thinks he's better than he actually is.
Binghamton F Gavin Walsh (6'8, 225) has entered the transfer portal.
In 31 games played, he averaged 32.7 minutes, 11.3 PPG, 10.9 RPG, 1.9 APG, .30 blocks, .90 steals and 42.0 FG%. He was 29.3% from three and shot 63.1% from the FT line.
He has heard from the following schools:
UNC Charlotte, UMASS, Bradley, Liberty, W&M, Binghamton, UC San Diego, Iowa, Delaware, Clemson, Oklahoma, Chattanooga, Purdue FW, Toledo, UC Santa Barbara, High Point, Minnesota, South Carolina, Robert Morris, Valpo, Bowling Green, UIC, Longwood, USC, +more.

Yeah. Him being a bitch after the IU game because he split Freshman of the year with IU kid the year before kind of confirmed my suspicions.
I didn’t care for that.
Kansas looks like they are willing to pay the Pryce for Dix.
It's being reported that UCLA is paying that New Mexico guard $3 million next year. If Kansas is offering close to that to Dix, Iowa can't compete.
What is reported is not always true. Agents lie.
If Creighton (or anybody else) is paying him $1.8M they are insane IMO. This is nuts!
Guys he's good! Is he full of himself yes! He brings baggage and drama. Just like with the transfer as good as she is cotie mcmahon. That said I wish owen the ok year and with cotie a crap year next year
Dix is down to Kansas and Iowa per the Miller and Condon radio show today.
Are their sources usually good?
