I think regardless of if Wieskamp goes pro, Iowa needs to hit the portal hard and get 2 experienced guys that can help. Who do you guys think we should look into?

I’m guessing nobody. Hope I’m wrong.
I would take the freshmen big from North Carolina.
Armaan Franklin would also be one to contact. He just entered today
Pass. Can’t go right.I’d take Aretha Franklin if she can play defense
I'd be absolutely stunned if Fran doesn't pick up at least one big. I just can't see going into next year counting on JO for meaningful minutes as a back up.
Have you been impressed by Fran's past Portal transfers? Other than Uthoff, a Cedar Rapids kid that got mad at Bo Ryan and returned home, I can only recall Bakari...and it became obvious after he played why he had been available.
I hope we don't have any donations to the Portal.
If Nunge and JO were fine with it, then Fran could look to Portal, but he hasn't shown himself to be much of a salesman on his program to Portal prospects in the past.
Iowa has enough returning talent to be competitive in B1G. Maybe .500 Ball. Fran was a genius to bring in the two Murray boys. Oregon kind of showed, you don't really need that many B1Gs.
To me, just being competitive is a losing mentality. The goal should always be win conference titles and play for national championships. Is it going to happen every year, no, but that's what the goal should be. .500 is average at best. Do you want average or do you want to strive for excellence?Have you been impressed by Fran's past Portal transfers?

So...he should just take anyone?If Fran doesn’t get a big guy, he’s more stubborn than I thought.
So...he should just take anyone?
Is that *5 center who was transferring from Texas still available? 🤔
Going to Alford? Yikes.Going to Nevada I believe.
So...he should just take anyone?
But she's leaving on a midnight train to georgia. Woo wooPass. Can’t go right.
WWFD.Not anyone, but if there were ever a year to hit the portal this is it.
Oh no Fran is too proud to resort to the portal. He would rather his guys get their doors blown off by teams like Oregon than add some talent to make the team more competitive. If and this is a big "if" he went to the portal it would be for a Bakari Evelyn type guy who would be depth only not someone who would actually add value.
Here are a few interesting names I came across.
Jaylen Butz from Depaul is 6'9 / 205 and pretty athletic
Jamal Mashburn Jr. / slashing guard & good shooter who came on for MN
Faats Russell / like the name and his game
Teddy Allen --dude is a tumbleweed for sure but can flat out score
Al Durham--he can defend
Obviously it depends on who sticks around and who transfers in (or out) but I’m not seeing a .500 conference record next year. I see a lot of ugly basketball coming our way...
I don't - if Nunge is able to fully recover..... Hawks will be much quicker at guard and defense should improve. I see no reason why Iowa can't finish upper half B10,....... top 5 with Nunge 100% and provided Weiskamp returns. Kris Murray could have an impact similar to Keegan's 1st year. Looking forward to see what Ulis and Toussaint van do at PG - both those guys can get dribble penetration unlike Bohannon.Obviously it depends on who sticks around and who transfers in (or out) but I’m not seeing a .500 conference record next year.

to be clear my assumption is JW is gone
No word yet. I'm shitting on the fence.
