Those would be pretty solid additions. Would love to add any of those guards you listed.

I think the Iowa-Drake guys + those guys would beat Fran's small ball lineup Freeman/Dix/Harding/Payton/Thelwell
Man, you go and do something for a couple of hours and look what happens
Yes (unless you count Jacob Koch, the walk-on; which does count against the 15 total roster allowed)
Talk about out with the old and in with the new. I recall a time when a previous coach's players would still be in the program for a few years. How times have changed.
Can you imagine if the portal had existed when Raveling took over for Lute? Or when Tom Davis took over for Raveling?
The history of Iowa basketball would look dramatically different.

This is good news. Some stiff competition but it would be huge if we can pull in Brennan and Hausen.
I'm sure you're right!
It doesn't sound like Davis really enjoyed the recruiting aspect of the job all that much from what I've heard over the years, so it's hard for me to envision him coaching in the portal era.. Raveling, maybe.
That is a good list. I haven't seen Powell play, and maybe only saw Brennan without really focusing on him. Wouldn't Duke be the preferred player? Certainly from a much more successful team, and stats against better competition. I know very little about the 3 possible guards, but agree that we need a PG, preferably one with more than one year of eligibility.
Yeah I would prefer Duke as well. We have a visit lined up with him so hopefully Ben can close the deal.
If we can get Nyk as an incoming freshman to play behind stirtz for one year and learn the offense would be ideal. McCollum loves playing his best guards tonsssss of minutes so hopefully these young guards see that and want to come take advantage of that.
Another PG who is willing to give Stirtz occasional blows, but also as insurance against an injury or even foul trouble, sure seems like a good idea.
I like it. A big that shoots from the outside and passes well is an asset.
I'd like to see a commit on the visit.

Last guy we had from DC wasn’t too bad
While I certainly get the point about the level of compensation...$4M!!!!...you undersell how good of a player JT Toppin is as "OK". All conference type? How about player of the year in the Big XII. "Borderline All American? How about not only a 2nd Team All American, but the top vote getter on the 2nd team, making him the 6th ranked in the entire country.
He would be a really nice addition. Listed at 6'9" 215, but had nice all around numbers. Shot 55% FG 41% from 3 and 78% FT.
