With Jirak committing, how many more bigs do people think we'll take? I'm hoping we get this guy and Vlajic or similar. Especially interested in Vlajic as I don't remember hearing much about him recently.
BM said he will need more bigs at Iowa than he needed at Drake, so I'm guessing he's looking to add 2-3 more bigs.

Ya I'm hoping for 2 more centers(rs jirak). 1 more pf. A sg. Then to be honest we have 2 but I don't know that their starting caliber in koch and banks?

Then get some recruits.

You don't think Cooper Koch is starting caliber?
I've had him as starting sf on my starting lineup board. Their were people who didn't agree. Then I second guessed.

Hes going to have to put on a little more muscle, stay healthy, and like ben said focus on defense. We know the offense is their

Yeah if you're not paying him much, it's like buying a practice player. If he develops, you get 1 good year out of
him and then you got to pay up to market value.
I would take one developmental big each year with the agreement that they redshirt the first year. You should know by the 3rd year whether they are going to contribute. If not, adious.
 
I've watched a lot of Drake basketball and Overton is soft IMO. He stays behind the 3 PT line on offense and looked lost on D. He'll be a Jr. on his 3rd college and most likely bail after a year for his final season.

That is not what Ben said the On Iowa broadcast. He said he wanted two bigs and a pg. Now he might take Tate but will want him to develop, maybe even redshirt.
I'd be happy with that. Kakert was the one that said tate was a done deal.

I'd go 2 c, 1 pf, 1 pg

Not saying it's going to happen. But do u think if nyk lewis committed, that he would count as the 1 pg?

That said we have 8 now on the roster. That woule put us at 13 scholarship players considering tate commits

Unless he is a good Bench Cheerleader like Mulvey, then you give him 4 years.
