So they have a couple of titles and Iowa hasn't gotten any transfers from there. Have they produced any talent that played for a major program recently?
 
They are a Division II junior college, and I would think it wouldn't be common for anyone to slip through the cracks quite that much these days. As far as how big the difference in terms of size/quality of play from D2 to D1 Juco, I honestly couldn't tell you.

Ali Farokhmanesh was the last player I recall that did anything from Kirkwood. DII JC to Power 5 is a huge jump.
 
For what it's worth...Kirkwood's star 6"7 PF/C Doug Wilson was Regional and National Tournament POY and will likely be National DII POY. He's heading to South Dakota St next year.

Jacob Jaakes!
Marshalltown plays DI JUCO.

Kirkwoid regularly beats Marshalltown but Marshalltown gets some better individual talents.

Indian Hills is ridiculous. Some years they look like UNLV from the Tark era.
 
D1 Juco. Scholarships for tuition and room & board.

DII Juco. Scholarships for tuition only.

DIII Juco. You get nothing and like it.

15 years ago, Marshalltown CC was a pretty high level JUCO MBB program. They produced a lot of DI players. More recently, not so much.
