*****Bennett Stirtz & Isaia Howard will follow Ben McCollum to Iowa City. Who else will be? 9 of 15 Roster spots filled*****

- Start date
Drake forward Cam Manyawu. He's a 6-8 sophomore from Kansas City who averaged 7.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game this past season.
What does DePaul scare you when it comes to Northern Illinois transfer Quentin Jones (6'5" Guard)? Because he'd be closer to home? And/or, do they have more money to pay?
Have you looked at their recruiting? What they've lost? They recruit better than us!
Defense. I just hope we have the athletes to play B1G style defense.
If I recall correctly he wasn't even on the court for the last 8-10 minutes of the Drake game.
I watched 3/4 times this year and his/Perkins play was nothing to write home about and did sit out extended periods. MO paid a lot for an okay BBall player IMO (but so did a lot of schools/players). The bidding war for players is insane and most of them are not worth the expense IMO. Finding the right fit for both parties is much more important than stats IMO.

Maybe we will have enough money to play the game.
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but there is a BIG difference between filling Carver and championships. Let's walk before we run.
If McCollum has the same results as Ferentz, there will be a statue. I have wanted him since December. Dude is different. There are no guarantees, but I will be surprised if it doesn’t work out.
Kirk seems to still be trucking along, considering he finally was forced to hire someone competent on the offensive side of the ball. I’m pretty damn excited about the future of Iowa football too.
I have noticed you’re quite pessimistic in general, so I won’t bust your balls. It’s your nature.
You didn't see that McCollum called Iowa’s NIL “middle of the pack in the Big Ten” when including rev share?

One thing I notice with these people in the portal is they appear to actually have done a little weight lifting as opposed to what we are used to seeing.
Cole Hargrove is a 6'8, 250 lb. forward. Last season, in 33 games, he averaged 32.5 minutes, 9.9 pts, 7.5 rebs, 1.8 blocks, 1.7 assists and .70 steals.
He shot 59% overall from the field and 21% (6-29) from three. He also shot 68% (50-74) from the FT line.

(@Franisdaman ) Franny, are this players who have heard from Ben, or before his arrival?Cole Hargrove is a 6'8, 250 lb. forward. Last season, in 33 games, he averaged 32.5 minutes, 9.9 pts, 7.5 rebs, 1.8 blocks, 1.7 assists and .70 steals.

And you wonder why I call it the transfer portal potty.
It's crazy that players can enter yearly....
It closes for them to enter the portal(unless a coach leaves etc.,) but they can they can take all the time they want to commit.
