According to the official University website, Iowa has Michael Baer, Austin Ash, and Nicolas Hobbs as walk-on's. What ever happened to Aidan Vanderloo that was reported to be joining the Hawkeye's this year as a walk-on? Was the announcement for the 2020/21 season? Just curious.
Roster question for those that might have an answer...
- Thread starter IllQChawk
- Start date
my guess would be as a walk-on he may not be enrolling till Fall Semester and would be added then. Scholarship players enroll for Summer school and join team in June.
Updates to the Roster are now online. Vanderloo is now listed.
Some height/weight changes for a couple of Hawks.
Nunge now listed at 245lbs. up from 235lbs. last year (and 225lbs from when he last played)
Garza now listed at 260lbs. up from 245lbs. last year
Pemsl is now at 248lbs. and also listed at 6'9", up from 6'8" 230lbs. last year.
Kriener is still at 255lbs. but now listed at 6'10", up from 6'9" last year.
Wieskamp is now at 210lbs. up from 205lbs. last year.
M. Baer now 6'7" 205lbs. (6'6" 200lbs. last year)
A. Ash is now 6'3" 175lbs. (6'2" 170lbs. last year)

Impressive weight gains for several players. I'm glad to see Garza has some more bulk to him because of his willingness to get inside and take contact.
Here is to Pemsl having a season where he's healthy.

Also, CJ listed at 195, which isn't a skinny kid. I hope Luka's extra weight doesn't make him even slower. 260 seems about 10 over what I would have expected.

i had the same reaction for Luka, but IMHO he is never going to be quick so he may as well be as strong as hell.
Yup. Paring down was unlikely to make cement feet move quicker. Might as well add mass and strength.
Earlier in their careers Garza and Pemsl were trying to limit their weights for quickness reasons. It appears that they’ve given up on that and focused on strength. Both are energetic Xs and Os guys so more strength should serve them well. But for defensive quickness (and offensive spacing) reasons, I hope they don’t play in the same lineup very often.
If Kriener really has added an inch in height, his reach and wingspan (already best on the team) could be even more impressive for defensive purposes. Nunge weight gain has already been publicized but looking forward to seeing how he uses it on the court.
Glad to see JW has gained a little. He’ll need it for endurance.
Damnit, his cyst came back!
Our bigs have some weight! If we had a rim protector, we would be set down low. Still a good looking group. One that should be able to spread the floor... And allow our guards and JW to take the middle.
This will be an interesting year. Lots of experience will make this a good team. Cannot wait!

Nice pic! I was going to mention Jack. I think he will be a beast all over the court. Looking forward to it!
