Dale Jones is dressed but didn't go through warmups. Am told he's doubtful with knee soreness

Poor guy. I wonder if he'll be done after this season. I know he has another year of eligibility, but you have to wonder if it's worth it in the long term.

edit: assuming there's a mechanism available for him to keep his scholarship in order to complete his degree.

 

[amahawk]

I think he is done.

i doubt he plays next year at Iowa. Fran has tow coming in and only Jok going out.

 

[Ronman]

If Jones really believes he has a future in basketball at the pro level (not the NBA), it would probably behoove him to shut it down now, quit the team and concentrate on getting his knee stronger.

 

[Kurt Warner]

Feel bad for the guy

 

[icwesthawk]

Kid cannot catch a break, except his hand... Don't know what the future holds for him but I'll be pulling for him whatever or wherever it is.

 

[Franisdaman]

Fran, on his radio show, just confirmed that there was some swelling in that surgically repaired knee

3 with Connor.

 

[Stormn Norman]

He needs to holler at Codels Doctor. Seems like he just can't get right. He's barley even played and is still hurt. Doubt even after the swelling he'll be In Shape to go. Could you imagine that knee if his playing time picked up? I feel bad for him

 

[4th & 9 inches]

I think he is done.

Yep. Feel bad for the kid but the writing is on the wall.

I don't think he will be back next year, and one or maybe both of Williams and Dailey will also be gone.

Agreed. My gut feeling is that it's CW who xfers out. Dailey might be regretting not taking the RS.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Hopefully the young man will get his degree. Just like the NCAA commercial, he's going to be going pro in something other than basketball.

 

[yippitiyiyo]

I think CW has a future at Iowa. Might not be a starter, but definitely a contributor.

I made a prediction earlier that three players would leave after this season. This includes Mr. Jones.
he has been a hard luck kid. I would like to see everyone get better and stay but they seems to be a logjam of 3's on the team.

I think you will see CW transfer to the 2/3 position not away from Iowa.

You think there is a log jam at the 3???

The 4/5 position, sure, but the 3???

Who are all of these players that can effectively play the 3s on the team? Baer, Moss, Williams (I'm talking next year)...who am I missing?

 

[HeRKeYHoPeFuL]

Dailey, Ellingson, Uhl, possibly Nunge.

McCaffery has a history of signing multi-dimensional players. Are all perfect fits for the 3? No. However, there are a lot if bodies that could effectively play there.

Tough to play guards who can't shoot or create in today's game.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

Agreed that Jones will be done after this season, but CW &/or MD leaving? WTF? I certainly hope not

 

[FairfIowafan1984]

I feel bad for him but it's to late for him to get into synch with our team just put him in during blowouts.

 

[FairfIowafan1984]

If uhl wants to play next year hes going to have to just play the 3 off the bench. I wouldn't be sad if he transferred but we can't replace a guy with him bc he's only senior next year and with bluebloods trying to get joe we have to have a schoolly or another available for him and another guy so hes got another senior with him.

Joe will set the all time record for points in high school he has no weaknesses I've seen racist posts saying he's not athletic. You haven't seen him play he can jump as high as cook and is super athletic. But I don't get why some fans think white guys aren't athletic that's just stupid.

A bunch of 6'6" ish players that seem like they are competing for the same spot. 1,2,3,4 or 5, who knows.

Why not?

Dailey has some skills.
