I'd take Wyatt Lohaus on my Basketball team at ANY Level, ANY Where, Any Time.
He's a terrific defender, very strong with the BB, has more BB iq than 10 HROT posters and is a Winner. Thank you very little

I don't think he would play over the next 3 years with what we have in and coming to the program.
That's odd, he's got a 19.3 TOrate compared to only a 12.4 Assist Rate, really bad numbers for a guard and again that's against mid-major competition. His TOrate is higher than anyone on Iowa, except for Fleming for comparison.
Take off the Hawkeye Rose colored glasses.
Obviously, this was a Recruiting MISS by Fran's staff
It happens

Ben Jacobsen at Rutgers in the Big Ten might get pretty interesting. From what I can tell from a distance he has it as a coach and seems smart enough to surround himself with the right assistants to recruit and work with that talent around New York and in the Northeast. Rutgers IMO seems a sleeping giant and they have a new AD who from the sounds of it really cares about basketball. Very interesting to see where they go and what they do with a Rutgers guy to the core in Eddie Jordan.
Yeah the bad outside shooting, high turnover rate, small guard combo is a real sneaky skillset.
I will give you Wasphun as a quality B1G point guard. Morgan would be a solid player off the bench. I am not sure I can give you Bohannen and Carlson is laughable.
Let's keep in mind UNI scored a whopping 54 points in the title game to win and 57 in OT in the semis. That's not going to come anywhere close to getting it done in a major conference.
Virginia Offensive Efficiency - 9th, UNI - 136th
Obviously don't watch him. Quicker then you'd think, much better the 2nd half of the season.
Yeah, Not sure Iowa could use a top 25 3 point shooter? Ellingsons worked out real well. Morgan was having a better season than Jok until big ten play, and I think would be better than Clemmons.
Carlson may have been a bit of a stretch, but laughable. Has a good skillset though. Iowa scored 80+ against ISU and lost. Isn't what you score, it's how much you score compared to the opponent.
Minnesota might be good timing this year if open. He has a new boss at UNI. He could retain Ben Johnson who worked for him at UNI and keep together the Gopher recruiting class. He could bring along Kyle Green if he can pay him enough to not take the UNI job who can recruit Wisconsin. Erik Crawford recruits Minnesota and give Ahelegbe the Ops role, both Twin Cities guys. AJ Green then ends up there along possibly with Hurt or Mar. Definitely not a bad situation other than not knowing who your boss will be.
I've met Coach Ben a few times and have a brother on the staff for years. Jac is a great coach. I may bleed black and gold but UNI has earned my respect. Seen that program up close for years and I think Ben can coach and recruit at any level and that is something I never say out loud in my family. I love Fran and Ben as coaches.
You UNI guys love to extrapolate the level of play that your guys see on a nightly basis against what we see in a major conference. The MVC minus Creighton and with WSU being down is quite laughable. Keep in mind Iowa beat WSU by 25 points and scored 84.
Bohannen is a great shooter but getting open looks in the B1G would be super challenging for him because of his inability to put the ball on the deck and overall athleticism. He'd be covered like a blanket and beat up. See Jok and JU for examples and those 2 have far more offensive skills than any of your guys. Yes Ellingson is great example of a guy that would thrive in the MVC but you can see him struggle mightily against the big boys to get an open look. Very comparable player to an MVC guy. A one trick pony struggles mightily in a power conference league. Scouting is tremendous and opponents take away your strengths because of the athletes teams have. There's strength, length, speed and jumping ability you see week in week out in power conferences.
Yes we lost to ISU by a point in Hilton but put up 82 but go enjoy your peach basket ball in the 50's. Did you not get swept by mighty Loyola this year?
Look only further to the UNI dream team of last year. First power conference team they faced in the NCAAs - yes gone. The team that beat you was then knocked out by a B1G team.
This is correct. Wisconsin reached out in November again I believe. One of two places as I understand it he can easily get out of his contract for.
Now Wisconsin had a better year than expected so it may not come up after the season. However as I understand it its fairly common knowledge at UNI amongst coaches and players that they've been knocking on his door.
There's absolutely zero proof he can recruit at a high level. He's never done it ever. Never played, assisted or coached at a power conference level. He has no clue what's involved to compete with the big dogs year in, year out. The type of player and their mentality and expectations are drastically different at that level. He's never managed those kinds of egos as well.
Louisville - UNI was men against boys last year, UNI couldn't get anything going on offense. Don't see athletes like that in the MVC.
If you want to compare UNI and Iowa in the 2000's I do not think Iowa is going to win that battle.
There is no comparison. That's the point. The MVC is not a power conference league. If it was in the 2000's please comeback and let me know because I slept through that.
Why are there so many UNI threads on an IOWA message board?
And as for the topics in this thread-Lohaus is a marginal talent and Jacobsen has a few skeletons in the closet that he probably would do better staying put with him remaining in CF.

What kind of seed will UNI get? 13 or 14, maybe? If we get up to the 4 or 3 line I wonder if they'd pair us up - wouldn't be a rematch since we didn't play them this year
I don't see it happening either but thought I would throw that out there for fun. I think Jacobsen has a bright future wherever he coaches and he will have options if he continues on this path. I see Rutgers as a good opportunity if that position becomes open. They seem to have the right AD in place now for them and if the coaching situation stabilizes and they put money into facilities they have much potential just like Jacobson does as a coach.
Jake is a very good coach and teaches defense. However, as far as Iowa fans go, they continually knock the style of play that ends up low scoring, calling it boring, such as the UNI MVC tourney scores. That's includes Wisconsin, and not just because of Bo. I for one, if Lick had ever been able to get it going, wouldn't have minded low scoring games, if they were mostly wins. But they weren't. (There were a few upsets, tho)
Do tell and/or provide a link. Hearsay doesn't count.
