Nice list. Good for him.

Brock Harding down to 6 schools
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
What happened to the package deal some thought was a done deal?
I’ll be a little surprised if he doesn’t wait to see who the new coach is.

That list is pretty funny. No offense, but he ain’t getting 20 mpg at any of those schools.
Did you see Washington this year?
All these offers and not a mid major among them, don’t these coaches realize he’s not a Div I player?
Got nothing against the kid and wish him well—including no problem if he wants to come back—but that list is surprising.
It’s a little like the Patrick McCaffrey situation with Butler. If he’s playing big minutes for those teams, it’s not a good sign for winning games and having a good year.
Is that logo in the lower left corner Ball State?
If so, I’d like to place my bet now.
This list seems pretty far fetched.
It's hard to believe anything like this now that agents are involved and trying to create as much perceived demand as possible.

He should definitely wait and see who Iowa hires. He seems like the hard working type of player that would fit in well with McCullom. And he'd improve greatly under his coaching.
This is a list. There’s no way these teams are actively pursuing an undersized pg that struggles on defense and is an avg shooter on his best day. Either that or they’re like, “Sure, you’re free to walk on if you’d like.” So his agent puts it out to make it look like he’s this uber in demand player.
Hell no, no takesy backsy. Watching him get his doors blown off playing defense all season long is enough. Good luck bro.
Agree, all the underclassmen on the roster will at least get an interview with the new coach, if that doesn't change his mind, so be it. He's a really good player that was greatly underappreciated by Iowa fans.
All of the roster will stick around until the end of May, plenty of time to change their minds.
It would be wise to see who Iowa hires prior to making a decision; McCollum is a wizard with pg’s.
I get why MANY.....and I want to emphasize MANY........of our/Iowa fans use that joke that they're not D1 or are MAC level talent.
But the majority of these people often know their jokes are lazy attempts and most of those people also have no idea how many teams there are in D1, what teams are in D1, and just how bad a lot of those teams truly are.
Basically what it boils down to is that I accept that a lot of our fans are incredibly lazy when it comes to what they know about the sport they root for and what they choose to want to know about the sports they root for.
And again, I accept that about our fanbase, sadly nonetheless.................
I'm not sure how you'd know this.
Not a chance, I'm even uglier then he is, as he stated on his show today, either the head coach or an assistant of every team on this list was in Moline yesterday to watch Brock in workouts. That's hardly just hearsay. God there's a bunch of dumb posters on this site.
You can trash the kid all you want, all it shows is most on here are clueless...
This, if Brock and the other leave after having an interview with the new coach, so be it. good luck to them at their new school.
They came to Iowa to win a championship, yes, being recruited to Iowa by Fran McCaffery may have been the reason they come to Iowa, but having been here at Iowa, I assume that each and everyone of the players were smart enough to realize that playing in the McCaffery system wasn't going to get it done.
Leaving because Fran was let go, should not be the only reason to hit the road. If they leave, there must have been other circumstances that have not been made public. Just saying.
I don't think McCollum would want him. He'll want a young guy he can develop for a year behind Stirtz. Plus, he doesn't play enough defense.
Wish he would consider staying.
So far, Brock has not been a starter on a Sweet16 team---that has been proven for his 1st 2 years.
Whether he gets >$100K NIL to be backup pg at one of his 6 schools is yet TBD. I don't think we'll see Brock Harding as the starting PG on a sweet16 team next year. The guy McCollum picked/recruited as his starting PG, that is different story---he might already be a starting PG On a Sweet16 Caliber team.

It’s a tough situation. I don’t fault anyone for being proactive. What if it takes a month to hire someone. What if they don’t think Brock will play a large role. He has to find a great situation asap. If Iowa moves fast and new coach wants him, well it’s nice to have options.
Separately, I think he could be more successful outside P4. Starter. Leader. Just my opinion.
Age isn't the issue, but yeah, there's no way McCollum wants a guy who's such a liability on defense.
Harding is not a fit for a switching defense.

There is no new coach for him to speak to (yet). He is smart to cultivate some options.
Like others, I am surprised by the list. Brock is a good player off the bench for most major programs IMO.
The Louisville mascot is a cardinal.
Harding has the heart of a lion. Unfortunately, extremely undersized at this level. Almost NO threat to finish at the rim, needs lots of space to get 3 off, and too small to guard most BIG guards, let alone if there is ever a 'switch'.
However, could be an 8-10 minute off bench guy/role guy. And maybe a starter for a mid-major.
Loved his energy tho.
Yeah, pretty much agree with all of that. If he was 3 inches taller he'd be a solid big10 player.
His feet are fine on defense he's just too small.
