He loves Caitlin

 

[jaxhawk06]

I'm pretty sure I heard on a podcast he almost went to Iowa too

There's a pretty long list of stars that ALMOST went to Iowa. Lol... We have to be the national bridesmaid of recruiting.....

 

[Hawk_4shur]

I like Jay Bilas. I like him less because he bangs the drum for player payments.

 

[Buffalo43]

And he calls the refs out on TV when they make bad calls

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

As a Carolina fan I cannot morally say that I like him but he is very good at what he does and does it objectively and I enjoy his insight. I enjoy games he does color on.

Yep.
It was iowa or duke.

Lute?

We should pull up that Chris Leak journal he did for ESPN. We flew him in a private jet and he had a steak dinner at Joseph's.

 

[JupiterHawk]

She has been on his radar at least from the 2021 season

Guessing every school has a “Would have a natty if banner”.

You are correct.

And when we got a total stud all american in Connie Hawkins the bettors framed him and there goes the natty championship

He’s a busy man.

What exactly went down with that? Heard about him but it was before my time.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

He’s doing the Carolina-Duke game and just dropped a Tom Davis reference on a pick-and-roll play

He was accused of being aligned with known east coast gamblers. I don't believe he even played a game at Iowa. The Hawk was a phenomenal athlete & had a great ABA & NBA career.

It's still out there. As is Tommy Zbkowski.

That really blew to miss out on both. That was the magical '02 season and both these guys are being recruited by everyone and writing about their blossoming relationship with Iowa as they tore through the big ten. Semee like we had to get one of both. Instead got neither...

Tommy Z had a bunch of friends that went to Iowa. Got to know them from our apartment complex and Zibby would spend a lot of weekends with them. It worked out well for him, but dang he would have been like another Cooper D.

He was a high school legend in New york city high school bball and playground ball if iirc. I was 10 when he lost his eligibility for supposed being involved with gamblers, later it was basically found to be a nothing charge and probably a frame job for whatever reason. Played with the globetrotters and the old ABA and maybe the NBA, he was Dr. J Irving type, smooth with the ball

There might be youtube videos of him.

 

[uiowa08]

I use to work in the BofA building in Charlotte. Saw Bilas a couple times walking around; pretty sure he worked in the building.

Chris Leak 2002….. ‘will the Iowa staff be there for four years’
