DeVries NOT a candidate for Iowa job. Ben McCollum the next Iowa HC?

[wilson reborn]

They just sold out the season without her and i would be willing to bet a lot they do it again next year. They're in on a bunch of five stars. By all accounts it's driving big traffic to places like the register that cover Iowa sports. And women's sports nationally have been growing. Unless the program collapses it's going to remain popular.

They’re riding the coattail's of Caitlin’s greatness, and the long term mediocrity of the Iowa men. Things can change fast. I hope
both teams excel.

The longer the search for a BB coach goes on, the sicker I feel.

It's been 3 days.

Sandfort is the typical McCaffery recruit. Lanky, runs the court fairly well, decent shooter, routinely gets abused on defense.

We’ve seen 15 years of soft defense. Clean house.

I'm not saying he is a good or bad defender, but when the head coach does not emphasize defense, no one on this board knows how good or bad a player is on the defensive end.

We certainly didn't see any emphasis or accountability on being in a good defensive stance and position. Also zero consequences for poor effort/play on that end.

What about him is moody?

The team is gonna need shooting too.

I think people were probably aware that Caitlin isn't on the team anymore when they bought the tickets

Pryce Sandfort is sub .500 FG shooter and low 60s% FT shooter. Nothing special. His other major offer was Nebraska IIRC. Narrowed his choice to Iowa and Drake IIRC Drake loses quite a few players there you go.

You think 48.8% overall and 40% from 3 is bad?

 

[LukaDuka]

I heard from a reliable source that Dan Dakich is being considered.

 

[Franisdaman]

hope its a done deal and some school doesn't come in late with a sweet offer

[Madman_1]

I’m good. I was sick enough watching Fran’s teams defend

You got to watch them defend?

I missed it, must have gone to the bathroom or something.

i kinda wanted Drake to lose tonight

 

[SA_Hawk]

Fear is he gets on a sentimental run and decides he can’t leave his guys at Drake.

 

[Franisdaman]

Pretty impressive.

Pay the man

Whatever it takes. Get the man to Iowa City.

 

[Franisdaman]

hopefully he has more than $1.5M in NIL to deal with

 

[SA_Hawk]

Other schools with openings will be all over his agent in the morning.

It will take NIL contributions from people
like you and me

Maybe this win (and maybe another Saturday?) will generate more excitement and the NIL funds will follow.. Or I hope so.

what schools you thinking?

So schools with coaches under contract are suddenly going to fire them to go after McCollum?

Who?

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[DewHawk]

If Iowa does not get BM I will be very depressed and lose even more interest in College BBall. This guy has taken DII players and kicked D1 teams a==, more or less. A couple of starters are even suspect for DII. Amazing season for Drake.

$5.1M/year would put Ben as the 10th highest paid coach in the country.

Fran made $3.4M.

No. he said with openings

And they never heard of McCollum before tonight? He was already on everybody's radar who was looking for a new coach.

Other than WVU and Virginia, who would be the competition?

And would Ben really want to pass up coaching in Iowa City?

Drake's been a great rebounding team all season

No shit. He’s been the top choice of many for awhile. Eickholt thinks he has has a cutting edge opinion there

Hope it happens and bring Stirz, the freshman, and Mantuwa (banks if not a senior)

to be fair, if you had taken a poll, DeVries would have been the 1st choice

Not mine.
