Ya I think theirs only 2 positions locked up at this point. Sturtz at the 1. And cam at the 4. I'd be fine with koch or the guy from Miami starting at the 3
Josh Dix
- Thread starter PRPcoach
- Start date
Yea. Not going to happen.
Why does he have to make a decision by EOD? Transfer Portal window ends 4/22/25
Anthony Tucker 2.0
This kid is not going to be invited back.
Well, Josh committing to Creighton did happen.
So much for the "Josh doesn't want to play with Owen" comments on here.
Creighton is going to try to win with the same guys Iowa couldn't win with. Interesting strategy.
Bummer but he's one that I hold absolutely no ill-will. Hard to compete against being right at home (especially given his mom's health supposedly) and I presume more $$$.
Best of luck Josh!
Best of luck Josh!
What happened to he hated Freeman? Guess not.
Hopefully that dynamic still exist would make for an interesting year at Creighton
So we don't know everything about everything going on with the team...lol
Going to see just how poorly Iowa players were coached and developed as these guys bloom at Creighton.
While I am disappointed that he will finish his career at a different school, I think this probably opens up possibilities to grab a different skill set. I am hoping the Hawks can get a SG with a real skill to get downhill. Josh was okay and had a good mid range but certainly wasn't scary to anyone that he was going to breakdown his defender one on one. That is the type player I would like to see partnered with Stirtz.
He can continue to hit game winning shots to beat Nebraska!
Right, a lot of experts on here said he would never play with Freeman again. LOL
Dix could get downhill better than most if not all of Iowa's 2024-25 roster, and I would consider him pretty good at it, primarily because, despite his fairly pedestrian quickness, the defender always had to honor his exceptional pull-up jumper. He was also very crafty around the rim when he got there and finished consistently.
Well, so much for those sources.If you can't believe Boxbugga, who can you believe - Iowa Burner Network perhaps?
"Sources" on this site are sh!t. Just sayin...
I'd be pleasantly surprised if they found a SG that was as good as Josh. He was/is way better than OK.
GREAT NEWS! More CA$$$H to play with to get a plethora of other good portal players to fill our roster. Let's go!
So, is the Dix to Creighton post confirmed? Very disappointed, but it showed something that Iowa was apparently in consideration until the end for probably much less $$$. Choice would be consistent with his desire to be near his family, and I certainly can't criticize that. If true, BMc now knows another position he needs to fill.
Watched 75%+/- of Creighton's game last three years and they play defense, do not foul a lot, get up and down the court, and shoot a lot of threes. They recruit a lot of three-point shooters. Good fit for Dix IMO. Creighton lost their three best players (two graduated and one in the portal that was hurt early this season) this year.
I will continue to watch Creighton because I like McDermott, their player discipline, and they are a Midwest team in the Big East.

Reading between the lines a bit, I think perhaps it became apparent that Dix had turned down Indiana (and perhaps Illinois as well), and some folks assumed that this meant the choice would be Iowa. But that assumption was clearly wrong.
