[Hawk-Fran1]

He will be back

I think Ryan Kriener will be in top 7.

 

[CanadaHawk]

I think Ryan Kriener will be in top 7.

Kriener was in top 7 before Pemsl’s OWI.

Just reading a few predictions of rotation I see nine players mention by some but no mention of Ryan. That makes me believe they don't have him in there top nine.

 

[Hawk-Fran1]

He’s going to play a lot !

 

[go-hawks37]

1. Connor
2. CJ
3. Joe
4. Ryan
5. Luka

That’s how we start the year.

 

[Hawk-Fran1]

Will Ryan start in front of Jack?

 

[Franisdaman]

Iowa is on the bubble?

Watch.

Wife and I just got back from Iowa after visiting my dad who will be 94 next month. It was dad that asked me if I heard about Pemsl and I said no. He said it was in the local paper so I read it. Wow. Hope it all works out.

he probably serves a game or 2 suspension, hopefully before the more difficult games

I am glad we now have 3 starting 5/ rotation threads.

Can someone start a 4th one?

 

[iabcuda]

I like the B1G slate - we face Michigan State, Ohio State & the badgers only once.

 

[Franisdaman]

Iowa picked to finish 8th in the B1G.

 

[Franisdaman]

Here. We. Go.

The Hawkeyes had their first practice yesterday.

Do you see your starting 5 in these pics?

 

[Hawksfor3]

I do. They are in the last photo.

 

[Franisdaman]

How'd you like my....I mean, Fran's answer to the JBo question?

More praise for Jack Nunge. He's taller than Luka, btw.

Joe’s comments about Patrick’s athleticism, quickness on the defensive end, and getting down court quickly is consistent with posters who have seen Patrick play.

Patrick will make contributions this year and will be really good before his career at Iowa is over.

Does this belong here? Meh, it’s going here.

This is part of the most difficult schedule in history

 

[Franisdaman]

Count on JBo NOT playing this year. He has not participated in any off season workouts, lifting, etc. He has only put up a few shots.

Emmert of the Register said that is why they brought in Evelyn; so with him, JoeT and Connor, you have 3 guys who can play the PG position.

 

[Franisdaman]

On the HawkCentral Wednesday radio show on KxNO, Ross Peterson asked Mark Emmert "what does success look like for this team?"

Mark: "Certainly, you'd want a winning record...I think if they get to the NIT, I don't think that's a bad year for this team; again, they have lost 4 of their 6 best players from last year's team that won 23 games. I just think that's a lot to replace in one year....It's a tough league....They have a tough nonconference schedule."

 

[Hawksfor3]

I liked the comments about how long Patrick is. Anyone know what his wingspan is? @Franisdaman ?

I hope we get JBo back 100% healthy, whenever that is.

Will that be this season is the big question.

 

[Franisdaman]

If so,
