Great interview.

Luka said he might beat Joe Toussaint in a foot race if Joe ran 400 yds and Luka got to run 100 yds.

Too funny.

 

[Rifler]

Hey OP,.. I would suggest that not having the Big ten player of the year doesn't qualify as a drought...

Can't say if he gets Nat'l POY, but I'd sure give him the Jabbar Award.

Huge accomplishment!! Nobody with a will to succeed like Luka Garza.

 

[Half-Full Hawk]

Iowa has the BEST player in the B1G, and in the eyes of many, the Country. Man that sounds good. Huge congrat's to Luka, and what an amazing example of extremely hard work paying off. Go get some Big Ten Tourney hardware, big fella!!

 

[H4wkfan4life]

If he is the Consensus National Player of the Year and if he returns next year and breaks Roy Marble's 31 year old Iowa All Time Scoring Record, we probably will see #55 next to Megan's #10 in the rafters.

Thought I read somewhere some Detroit writer picked Cassius Winston as POY over Luka, so he missed being unanimous on POY voting.

Doing good sport? No, doing best sport.

If anyone could unveil who it is it would be Scott D.
