He's not even on the top 100 board I saw. While Stirtz is listed as #35. Top 2nd round picks look to get $5-6M guaranteed. Stitz has April to decide if he will declare for the draft or play at Iowa.
Josh Dix
- Thread starter PRPcoach
- Start date
1st round picks get guaranteed money but 2nd rounders don't
And that offense leads to a lot of standing around watching someone else trying to create something. It’s fine when your “stars” are shooting well. Not so fine when they aren’t.
In terms of any of the guys in the portal - Come back if you want to play for McCollum. But you collectively went 7-13 in the Big Ten this year. So, you’re not irreplaceable.
Some do.

We, including me, often think this. And then there are guys like Chet Holmgren and Kevin Durant that make me go "Huh?"
Would disagree. Fran ran a great motion offense that was the envy of a lot of coaches.
Yep! It's pretty bonkers that people on here are criticizing Fran McCaffery's offense!
Who did he leave? This is all based on Dix not returning.
I knew the original post would stir up some of the fran fans. They deserve to be thrilled the next 15 years

By this logic, Taylor McCabe is easily a better player than Caitlin Clark. This may shock you, if watch games with your feelings.
Career 3FG%:
McCabe .421
Clark .377
Career FT%:
McCabe .850 PUSH
Clark .858 PUSH
Turnovers per 40:
McCabe 1.3
Clark 5.3
Circumstances are much different considering how different the environment is with portal and nil.
i heard his first visit was cancelled and rescheduled, but do not know for when.
Kansas is actually considering paying a player 2 mill that disappears every time the opposing defense throws some serious defense at them? For half of that I could be totally ineffective.
Exactly. How many 3 seeds or better were from the B1G this year? One? So yeah, even saying “a handful” isn’t accurate.
I see Career 33.7% 3pt percentage for Zach McCabe along with 76% FT. If he'd shot 42% from 3 for his career he would be remembered more fondly for that stat vs his next best career move of wrestling a MSU spartant on the court.
As he should be. If your style is to milk the shot clock and be efficient, then layups and 3s will result in a more efficient offense typically.
This. The players left on their own, and their not going to play at Penn for Fran either. This is about $$ as much as anything....
Yep. The cupboard is indeed bare right now, but as you said, it's due mostly to coaching turnover and today's portal environment, in this instance.
In Lickliter's case, there wasn't much talent to lose in the first place. Not even close to the same situation.
AND each year he lost his leading scorer because they didn't want to play for the guy, and he was going to be back.
Stupid post if you really think about it. You can't even compare as it's apples to oranges.
According to people in KU forums the rumor of 2M is false. I think some of these numbers just get thrown out there and people run with it. That said, I do think Dix is a nice player. If you can’t tell by my name I’m a KU fan through and through but have always followed the Hawks. 1 daughter graduated from Iowa, another a freshman there now. I personally want Dix to stay at Iowa and play for McCollum. Competed against Ben in high school and really want him to kill it in Iowa City. Even if Dix ends up at KU, Iowa has a bright future and made the right hire IMO.
For 2 mil give me three tough nosed dudes. A couple of them being 6’ 10”.
Sounds like you don’t watch the games at all and just look at misleading stats. For instance Caitlin Clark shoots lower 3% than Bueckers but who is the better shooter? Who takes the deeper 3s that spread the defense out? Who shoots more contested 3’s? Honestly terrible argument by you
No idea on Creighton today, but have seen some reports Dix and Conwell from Xavier, formerly at Indiana St, will be at IU tomorrow. No idea if accurate.
If true, the “close to home” aspect must not be as important to Dix as was initially reported.
Money talks.
Ummm because it was predicated entirely on chucking up shots at will and only worked when the other team didn’t play defense or Iowa shot extraordinarily well from outside.
Dix didn’t tell Bmac how much he hated that workout
If we had a better team they wouldn’t have been able to double Dix like they did. Kansas will have that. Hoiberg and Robbie Hummel are very high on Dix for good reasons.
