Bennett Stirtz & Isaia Howard will follow Ben McCollum to Iowa City. Who else will be?

- Start date
i dont trust a guy with earings in both ears and a butterfly tattoo. but thats just me.
he had the same basic team this year he had last year. only difference this year is that other coaches knew how to play him where as a freshmen, they did not. I understand he was injured for some of this season, but i think his numbers were pretty bad compared to last year and not all of that is because of an injury.
Apparently Kansas and Creighton (Kentucky and more) coaches think he’s pretty good..
He has a pg that went to the Rockets? I think.
To be fair, Exile's brewer is not a certified brewmaster. If he was, then Swarm likely wouldn't suck so much butt.
I don't think it sucks but like everything else exile does it's extremely boring. The whole concept of it where they tried to make it taste a way that appealed the Busch light crowd while pricing it at normal craft beer prices never made any sense to me.
Kills me that schools like Drake have better guards than Iowa.
I thought Combs was the one guy who got a little rattled in the Missouri game. Admittedly a small sample size, though
Update on Dix. Sorry for any duplicate reporting. Dix will end back at Iowa if we can get in the ballpark of the Kansas offer. He was very impressed with BMC when they met one on one. It’s at least a legitimate chance. I would put the odds of Josh coming back(I’m an optimist) at 65/35. Go Hawks!
I watched them all season and Stirtz had the ball in his hands about 80% of the time if not more.
The vast majority of them likely believe they will play for a top level team for a lot of $$. They are in for a rude awakening.
Ben seems like a good salesman.
Good story:

I hope so and sanity returns to collegiate sports
I have been watching some of these "big bucks" players and I would guess a pretty high percentage fail miserably. When a player is guaranteed huge amounts of money it tends to diminish the "self-improvement" that allowed them to get the big dollars. JMHO
As an example, Tony Perkins at $450K he did absolutely nothing special at Missouri this year and he is not alone. IMO

He also looks like he's missing a chromosome, but without the awesome attitude and friendliness.
Leistikow on radio this afternoon asked about 3 guys. If he had to guess said Dix doubtful cause of $ being offered. Pryce 50/50 and Koch thinks most likely to return of the group.
Gun to my head I would still say Dix leaves but I think he's way too pessimistic on both he and Pryce.
Man, it would be awful hard to turn down Kansas when you know you will play in front of packed crowds at one of the blue bloods making big NIL and a gauranteed trip to the NCAA. BMC is a hell of a salesman if he can pull it off.
Had is the more accurate word. That's no more. In fact, I believe from now on our guards, or their production rather, are going to be a high standard for other programs to reach. At the very least, the upperclassmen PG positions going forward should consistently be among the best in the BIG potentially.
Fran really hurt us in the PG dept. We've literally forgotten what a good one is. Young kids have never seen a good one at Iowa.
Not for long, or so it appears to be trending .....

Sounds like he's a ben type of guy. Great stats as a sg. Shows hes a team player. I like that he'll only be a junior and sounds like we are the biggest name on his list.

there are so many guys you can get from across all d1 and d2. NIL has shown that you can certainly build a great team full of merc's from other teams but you can also build a team with guys that few have heard of and be highly competitive as well.
All this has shown is that the "worth" some of these guys have is vastly overblown.

Love it man! That's probably where we will have to go. I like that he was where he was because he's seen kids at a lower level that I'm sure he knows are dogs!
Looking at the roster and what we can bring from drake, and honestly i think sandfort and koch return. the 3&4 spots are good.
Sg, backup pg for the future, and center look like our biggest must gets!
