Just curious if anyone has heard anymore rumors. Definitely hope cook returns and nunge stays put.
Soooo..anyone else leaving
- Thread starter Kurt Warner
- Start date
I am leaving for Vegas next Thursday.
Good!!!!! UNLV and their fans could use you!!
Bye, bye and good luck!
According to the Internet geniuses here some stay some go, and they've heard a lot aren't happy because they aren't happy
At this point the only exit that would make a substantial improvement would be frans.
Well, if you and your buddy Ihawkhoops stage a sit out, and stop coming to all those games you guys attend, it'll surely make a mark. I'm sure at that point, Barta will definitely see the light and fire Fran, then you'll be happy.
Sad to say it but I think him going to a lower tier program will let him shine and be a substantial contributor to thier success.
I don't see that happening at Iowa.
I disagree. I think Pemsl is perfect for a bench player. He'll probably never start again (without injury) and that's fine. He has a role to play with this team and I think he'll be ok with it.
I think that players that want to stay, should stay. Players that want to leave , should leave.
There is no need for any drama.

Why? This seems silly, he's our backup PF and does a good job when coming in. He played pretty well in the big ten season too. I think his shin injury set him back a bit, but he recovered nicely. His career player efficiency rating is 19, below only Cook 20 and Garza 26.6 on our team. He's a good, big body backup, I don't get all the hate on here for him.
Since I'm fixing things today, I fixed this for ya.
I most certainly don't have "hate" for him but I know lazy people like to throw terms like that around.
When hes on the court I see a guy that physically labors to keep up with the play on the court. He makes a ton of mistakes with the ball albeit I think most of them are.from just trying too hard.
Offensively he does what he can do pretty well but too often the opponent doesnt have to account for him where hes at on the court. Meaning more than two steps from the basket they dont need to guard him. If he regains some hops to up his rebiunding #s and develops a consistent 10-15 jumper to force them to guard him then hes a different player and he will see minutes. He shoots the rock pretty well from the FT line so Im guessing confidence is.lacking on his shot.
I mean, we're talking our #7 guy in the rotation, right? Next year assuredly farther with Weiskamp arriving. He's a good piece off the bench. What are people's expectations for players on our bench anyways?
I just see a guy that can be a very big part of a lower level program stuck on the bench most of the time. Especially if TC stays.
I think Nunge could start if TC leaves and do just fine if he bulks a little and gets a little more physical.
If I'm the coach RK, LG and JN get the bulk of mins at 4,5. They all have game and can shoot it. TC was just a little bit away from being good with his jumper this season and if he comes back those 4 are the 4,5s.
Honestly, I think Pemsl brings a little more fire than most on this team, and that's what I like about him. He's not the biggest, best, most athletic, but he fights out their like Luka and you need those guys, especially coming off the bench.
Pemsl, honestly, is a 5. Playing him at the 4 is why he had a bad year.
He'd make a fine 5 in a lower level conference.

Disagree and really hate to see Hawk fans saying any player should leave. . I hope they all stay and work hard to inprove their game.
Pemsyl is a liability, he's our worst defender and a turnover machine.
He has 1 move on offense going to his left.
He never looks at the basket when he's out on the perimeter and it makes him easy to defend.
He has no jumping ability and is 6'7 trying to play in the post.
When Wagner and him were on the floor at the same time it was 3 on 5.
Wagner figured it out, hopefully Pemsyl figures it out.
Next year Garza, Cook, Nunge and Kreiner should get all the minutes at the 4 & 5.

Fran played him at the 3 half the time.
I agree CP is a small ball 5. The further you get him away from the basket the worse he does.
If you can give him space on the block or in pick and roll he does well.
Pemsl is definitely not the worst defender.
Bad, but theres atleast 3 that are worse.
And going to a certain hand is not a move.
Oh and Enjoy! Scotch and dice? That is my favorite.Old days Walk up .99cent shrimp cocktails at door.Enjoy..I am leaving for Vegas next Thursday.
The scotch part for sure. These days it's video poker for me but I remember the .99 cent shrimp cocktails and penny slots.
With or without us "negative"fans, Iowa's conference record would have still been 4-14.
If by fire you meaning complaining about every foul called then you would be correct.
JFC exaggerate much?
Pemsl has limitations but until Garza got here he had by far the best inside moves and footwork. Who gives a shit if he uses his left most of the time.
This year other teams didnt care that he used his left hand every time. After having a seasons worth of tape everyone figured out he only has 1 hand and cant score from 2 ft or greater from the hoop. Hence his atrocious year.
