With one, probably two Schollys available - what will happen down the stretch. I say two because it is highly likely that Kris will turn pro.
 
I voted for getting both.......just because that is what I most want.

When it comes to making a best guess.....I really have no idea. Odds probably lean towards getting neither, but I think it's obvious that we have a serious shot at each of them......
I think we probably get one but have no idea which.

It does seem like often times when high level guys commit it helps convince other high level players thats its a good choice. Good players like to play with other good players.

As Iowa fans we have little to no prior experience with this particular circumstance of multiple guys with blue blood offers giving us serious interest.

Its interesting for sure.
 
Just listened to TJ Power's interview from 10 days ago. Incredibly impressive sharp kid. I agree with whomever else said they liked Iowa's chances better after hearing it. I did not realize he was close with Bowen. Who knows, but he definitely does not seem to be overwhelmed with the hype that comes with Duke and NC, and if relationships is his most important consideration, Fran has had that established with TJ for a while. I now think I want to change my poll answer to say all 5. GO HAWKS!
 
One and Three are off the table now. I am leaning to losing both Estrella and Power. I personally am very happy with our three man class.
Yea, I’m very pumped about the 3 we got. And who knows with Fran, if he plucks another 2 star under the radar guy he could end up being the best of the class.
 
Would love to get both, but just watching the Power interview I like our chances with him more.
Wrong. He’s going to Duke. However, if we ever want to rise above sub-par to mediocre each year, we have to begin winning some recruiting battles against the top teams. Period. We can’t even close the deal on the top rated talent in our own damn state!!! If that doesn’t change, we’ll continue to be the garbage, irrelevant on a national level program we have been by and large for the past 30 years.

Yes, because an unending stream of 2* and 3* players over the past 30 years has brought us 2 Sweet 16 appearances. Have to expect more to produce more and 2* and 3* talent will not get us anywhere.

The problem with guys like you that put all your "success" eggs ion the NCAA basket is that you just gloss over some of the nice seasons McCaffery has given us. Eight 20 game win seasons and always at least competing for B1G success, with nine upper division finishes. All of us want to take it a step further, but it's sad you dismiss all fun teams and successful seasons he's put together. Other schools in the B1G would trade with us in a heartbeat.

curt, you must have your head in the clouds. two three stars and a four star are committed. Another fur star in next years class. Hawks won the BIG Ten tournament. Doesn't seem mediocre to me.
