Tired of this same old song and dance. Congrats on your degree Seniors, next!
Ready for new blood next season....

Next year you will be upset that it's the same as the Licklighter era.. Brace yourself
How much do you want to bet Iowa doesn't win 15 games next year?!
I'd bet a lot on the over... A lot
Next year is building experience with young talent for 2017 and 2018 could care less about win/loss. PG who shoots 92% fts already upgrade there.
Real money? Send me your email.. It'll be a friendly wager.. Iowa doesn't dance again until 2018-2019
I doesn't matter how many games they win next year. The statement you made was ridiculous, any fool with half a brain knows next years team is not going to be a bunch of short stocky white guys who should be playing D2. Thats what Lick was.
I think next years team will be fun to watch. They will lose some head scratcher games on the road and also upset some teams.
I am thinking wins in the range of 15-18 and a NIT birth.

Won't have to watch the same little white PG get his drive swatted, or turn ball over, or throw up brick in every clutch situation. Center position we will see dunks instead of missed bunnies. We are going to miss Uthoff big time, rest of seniors, meh.
Should be more athletic at some spots, but guard play going to be dicey. I like CW, but with no real PT, he is going to have a tall task and I am not going to comment on the fallback offer from Linn-Mar.
I agree in glad these seniors are done with basketball but it's going to be real ugly next season.
Next season...same o, same o. "One player with a cast of average." Three seasons ago Marble led the team to above average with a cast of youngsters. The next year everybody said watch out for White. He proceeded to lead the team to average. Then they said "JU" and he led the team to above average with the same cast around him. 2016-17... I feel sorry for Jok with an average cast around him.
I personally believe Woodbury's defense will be missed more than we think right now, but his offense was so freaking pathetic. Yesterday he grabbed that offensive rebound and then tried to do the reverse layup, and of course he missed it. PERFECT three second summary of his career.
Clemmons' defense will also be missed.
As for Gesell, he was fine bringing the ball up the court, but I think we can replace that.
I'm not at all sold on Dom Uhl though. I just have no clue what he's trying to do when he dribbles, as it seems like there is always an ill-advised spin move or some violent change in direction before he launches a terrible looking shot. His 3-pointers are helpful though.

Agree, I'm excited about 2017 and beyond, next year is just getting a lot of moving parts together and experience for future seasons. Maybe Jok can go all world and they are somehow on the Bubble but I am not expecting it. Short term step back for long term gain.
A post who can get the board and THEN finish is the difference between 10 losses and only a few at this point. Cook, Wagner and others coming in next season will make us better on offense down low instantly.
Still got an utterly clueless hot headed coach so it won't matter, hopefully when Iowa goes below .500 in BIg that loser will be shown the door.
Eh, I like him but he needs to look in the mirror and change up a lot of things, we need New Fran next season going forward with late game strategy and timeout usage.
Agree but I am ok with that at this point. When you can't score you can't win over playing decent defense for 80% of game but not good enough to make up for not being able to do crap on O.
Trying not to add to the doom and gloom here, but I am really interested to see what Moss, Hutton, and Cook can bring to the table. At the very least, we should get some better size and athleticism on the wings and more muscle (hopefully more offense) down low.
Yes, I'm excited for the future and fully expect a step back next yaer but it will be temporary with the future seasons having much higher ceilings than what we have dealt with recently. If they win a tourney game next week great, but just cherry on top at this point.
Ummmm, just from this years class. Tyler cook had interest from just about everyone in the country. Cordell pemsl had interest from Wisconsin and Purdue to name a few. Didn't need to look much further to prove your comment was dumb.
Hutton - Wisconsin
Moss - ISU and Pitt
Cook - everyone

Yep, I like Bohannons ability to shoot and make FT's i'm sure a major work in progress as a ball distributor but I think Williams could end up being legit.
I guess I won't be watching much Iowa basketball next yr. That must mean less than 8 wins in the Big 10
My take is inner city kids have a little more mental toughness on the court. Maybe this is a stereotype but we might be pleasantly surprised next year with our groups toughness.
