Think they would have already reached out to some. But here’s hoping.one scholarship is still available (for a guard)
He avoids making the Wieskamp mistake
One of our signed football players made an announcement on Twitter regarding his high school graduation party. He included his venmo in case people wanted to send "a graduation gift."
I honestly don't know what's legal anymore.
Needs to shoot less. Shot selection hopefully will be better with more Dix getting points.
Sandford returning is a huge get for the Hawks! I don't know what to expect for next season but think the Hawks can compete with most teams. Will be interesting to see how many teams can make the dance from the BIG
The 7 (now) B1G teams that made the NCAA Tournament last season:
Purdue
Illinois
Northwestern
Michigan State
Wisconsin
Nebraska
Oregon
Fran McCaffery on Payton Sandfort’s return to Iowa:
“Everyone in our program is elated to have Payton return for his senior season. Going through the NBA Draft process has been very beneficial for Payton as he was able to gain valuable feedback and meet directly with NBA personnel. We are looking forward to having Payton return as our team leader and as one of the top players in the Big Ten Conference.”

Weezy shot 46% from 3 his last year at Iowa and Tested far better than expected at nba combine. We will never know but some guys just don’t have the juice for the league.
Fran came with a bigger bag of cash! Good job negotiating by Payton!
Speaking of cash, check this out. It was rumored that Tony Perkins was looking for $500,000 and ended up with $400,000.
What's Hawkins worth?
Fran, after hearing the news:
Sign Steph Curry.
The only positive thing A.I. can be used for.....
This is huge Josh and Payton are sharp shooters and play well together
Well honestly, he had no other option if he wanted to be drafted after his results at the combine. His numbers and play in the scrimmages was so poor he slid right out of the 2nd round. His only hope is he has such a great year, and can improve before the next draft. Doubtful though that he will improve those scores when it comes to his lack of elite athletisism. He's just not that level of athlete. He'd have to shoot lights out to even get a look, and he'll be a year older. Probably carve out a nice career in Euro ball somewhere.....
He had no choice but to return as that employment opportunity is never going to present itself to him at that level.
Never, because he isn't good enough to ever be an NBA player.

IDK, Took 12 shots per game last year. Made 55% from 2 and 38% from 3. Seems ok to me.
I agree that it would be good for Dix to get some more shots. Perk, Krikke and PMax average 28 shots per game, so there will be some available.

Right, not bad for sure from 3 but his role in the nba would be to knock down open shots. He needs to tighten up his %. Weezy shot over 46% his last year (3 ball) as context.
The top 5 shooters in nba are all above 43%
They took the fewest 3 point attempts since 2015. They can both take more shots
Connor posted something similar when Luka was about to announce his decision.
Yeah. But, I was responding to a comment about his shooting volume at Iowa, which I think is ok. Not what he needs to improve for the NBA.
Don’t know Weisskamp personally, but I would bet he doesn’t think he made a mistake.
“Lack of elite athleticism“ is being kind. His issue was not that he wasn’t in the top levels of athleticism, but rather he was in the very bottom of those at the draft combine.
