West High Grad and former Hawkeye Justin Wieck bringing in his UMD Bulldogs....thoughts? He has some solid experience/success at a fairly high level. I love the idea of a former player/resident(same as Gatens) coaching the Hawks.
No thoughts other than he would come down to the fieldhouse & play with us normal people. Was far & away the best player on any of the six courts.West High Grad and former Hawkeye Justin Wieck bringing in his UMD Bulldogs....thoughts?

I just looked at his record. Very surprised he’s still bumming around at DII level.West High Grad and former Hawkeye Justin Wieck bringing in his UMD Bulldogs....thoughts?

Well, he is a West High gradI just looked at his record. Very surprised he’s still bumming around at DII level.
He seems to have had enough success to warrant an offer at a low-level DI program
I want the next coach to be the best possible….not get the job because he is a former player.West High Grad and former Hawkeye Justin Wieck bringing in his UMD Bulldogs....thoughts?

Iowa's playing at the $5 blackjack table, Oregon (and others) are playing at the No Limits tables.Without NIL money, not a lot of upside with Fran or the next guy. There is pretty interesting article about ISU TJ Otzelberger playing "moneyball" and doing more with less than most NIL rich schools, but ISU has more NIL money than Iowa. ISU is getting it done with defense first approach.
The NIL site I saw said ISU's b-ball roster last year was around $1 million. The entire Iowa swarm football/basketball budget is around $2 million, which is nothing when you look at Oregon with $24 million/yr football payroll, etc.
If 10,000 of our fans got off their arses and joined it would not be an issue. Many excuses, not many fans who care enoughWithout NIL money, not a lot of upside with Fran or the next guy.

How much ch of that comes from their sugar daddy?Oregon with $24 million/yr football payroll, etc.
I'd assume the top target for the Iowa job is going to be Darian Devries and everyone else is a distant second.West High Grad and former Hawkeye Justin Wieck bringing in his UMD Bulldogs....thoughts?

As long as Iowa hires a coach that excites the fan base, NIL will increase substantially. The issue is the fans have lost faith in Fran and don't want to invest in a situation that isn't going anywhere. You gotta generate excitement to raise money - it really is that simple.Without NIL money, not a lot of upside with Fran or the next guy.

If there were 10,000 fans that could afford to give $1000 a year, that equates to $10M annually. Yeah, need to get more people to care. That would be a huge boost.If 10,000 of our fans got off their arses and joined it would not be an issue. Many excuses, not many fans who care enough
It's Marge's fault. boosters cannot stand her.As long as Iowa hires a coach that excites the fan base, NIL will increase substantially.

That window is probably closed unless he does poorly at wvu.I'd assume the top target for the Iowa job is going to be Darian Devries and everyone else is a distant second.

It's really disappointing not to have seized the opportunity when it was right there.
