Brock Harding down to 6 schools
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
I trust my source. I also was the first one to know on this board Freeman was shutting it down.
The portal is just opening up today. I doubt anyone is jumping to sign BH today, or tomorrow. Everyone is still surveying prospective transfers and their own roster needs for next year. Unless the transfer has a "no contact" order & they have a deal already arranged. Which ain't Brock.
According to QConline today, Brock's dad said Iowa hasn't reached out to him. Of course things may have changed since that was published.
Yes it appears to say the school (coach) can cancel his scholly for next year as soon as a Dude goes into the portal. I think in Josh Ogundele case, he went to portal, no one wanted him, and he had to get Fran to agree to take him back. Completing the current semester on scholarship to maintain eligibility seems obvious. So we have Harding through May unless he drops out on his own.
Harding strikes me as a guy that loves B-ball, getting a degree and real career is not on his radar. He's not going to want to be a backup PG behinde a guy that plays 39 minutes per game. From McCollum perspective, Harding is not good fit either, so why not recruit someone else with better potential for McCollum system that is more willing to be a backup.
Brock was also like the last guy on offense you had to game plan for as a shooter and got a ton of open looks. Not the case for a Dix or Payton Sandfort or Jordan Bohannon.
What is on his radar? Living in Mom's basement?
I never said he wasn't a D-1 player, either.You said "Again, anyone can say or tweet anything" which is equivalent to calling Brock a liar.
when Brock is Louisville's starting point guard on a Sweet 16 team
So now you are moving the goalposts from "Brock is not a Division 1 player" to "Brock has to be a starter for a blueblood and make it to at least the Sweet Sixteen". Got it.
Why do you keep making stuff up? Is that the only way you can "win" arguments?
Brock wouldn't be the first college athlete embellishing on his situation.
Stirtz > Harding
Confirmed today that he was Iowa bound. 19.2 ppg and 5.6 apg.
First positive piece to the roster.

Even if Brock was willing to come back for free, probably don’t want him.
Many on this board have dissed him and declared that he is only a mid major type of player. If it wasn't you, good for you and my apologies. I hope he stays.
Um what?? Go check out his shooting percentages. Some of you believe the bs some shovel.
TBH I haven't cared enough about the MBB team this season to make any judgements on any particular player.
I'm all for any Hawkeye that wants to stay if BMac wants him to.
From what I've gathered regarding Harding, I think he can be a P5 player, but I'd be surprised if he were an impact player on a competitive team.
Are these six options paying him or also looking at him 'for free'?
That’s the thing. Looking at a guy’s 3 point shooting percentages tells you nothing about what kind of looks he gets in a game. Hell, Jordan Bohannon and Payton Sandfort had some of their worst years shooting the three towards the end of their careers. Did they get worse as shooters? Obviously not. They just didn’t get easy looks because they were the focal points of Iowa shooting the three ball. Harding just got open looks all the time.
Wrong.....................we're actually better.
Did.........did that help make you feel better at least?
Yeah. I think some folks develop a hard on for some player and never review the data. Harding was a definite asset on the offensive end of the court. His only disadvantage is his height which presents as a bigger issue on the defensive end. He had some turnover issues last year and had a tendency to lose his focus on defense but he was much better this year. All in all a solid if unspectacular player this year.
He shot the 3 pretty well this year at Others got open looks as well and shot no better with the exception of Dix and Thelwell. I don't know why you're arguing this point. Cmac was left open for most of his career and dared to shoot all the time and shot 31% for his career. Patrick was 32%. Brock is at 39%.
I agree Connor and PMac got way, way too many minutes. And they couldn’t shoot the three. No arguments from me on that one.
lil bit, yeah... and no thanks necessary I enjoy what I do. But you're welcome for all that I do.

I know what you are saying, “free”, but that just sounds so wrong. I keep thinking this is still about getting a free education and playing basketball! I sure miss the more recent past. This pay for play has to be changing lots of fans interest in college sports. I sure know it has changed mine. Personally, I received $3,000 a year to play D2 baseball until I blew both ACL’s. Would have gotten much more if I was a pitcher. I’m blaming my dad and coaches for bringing me up as an outfielder 🤣🤣
I figured as much, and thank you for at least being honest enough to admit it unlike some others.
You're right. I am welcome for you being wrong, and I appreciate you taking pride in that.
I also appreciate your support for my statement of fact about our fanbase.
