Welcome aboard Ben!

- Start date
I will believe it when there is a formal announcement. Well, just because it is Iowa.
Portal opens tomorrow. Who’s coming? Does anyone who entered, stay?
Josh Ogundele
I hope a number of players stay. Apparently both Dix and Pryce have received multiple large nil offers.
Have to love the fake news

I posted in another thread but rumor so far is Stirtz, Isaia Howard, and Trevin Jirak (UNI signee, Iowa player of the year) if true sounds like a great start!
Lock in Koch, the Miami transfer and the freshmen were in business!
I can see the student section wearing white shirts/ties.
David Eikholt - shouldn’t his tweet be taken as legit?
And Pryce would be good as well.
Trev and his family are as wonderful a group of people as I have ever met.
That’s all the insight I have.
I seriously doubt any of FM's last recruits are still coming. Hope I'm wrong.
Will play debbie downer for a second...without Stirtz, Koch, Pryce Sandfort and a couple good portalers, the offseason haul would be a little underwhelming. Unless BM could go out and get straight upgrades to all the above-mentioned players.
Both of them?
I've never understood the lack of student interest, hopefully that changes this coming season.
There is no way of knowing what the current roster will look like at this point in time
We should start by not putting them in the sh*ttiest seats in the arena.
I’d wait a couple weeks before posting this. I believe there will be enough buzz about McCollum to put together a very competitive roster.
I mean roughly two-thirds of the student body are from """""Chicago""""" or China. Translation: they don't care about Iowa sports. We can talk about how Carver is sort of in the middle of nowhere next.
Yep, all of which the coach is fully aware of, and no doubt already working on that...
If McCollum does agree to coach Iowa it will be interesting if he continues to pursue 2025 recruits that Fran offered. I assume the highly rated kid who decommitted is probably gone but Fran had a lot of other kids he was pursuing. Keeping Gatens an or Spurlock may help retain the recruits interest
David’s a good guy, but he sometimes races to be the first to report things, and occasionally gets things wrong in the process.
However, in this case, you have a bunch of Iowa newspapers (probably all in the same ownership group) all also reporting it’s a done deal, so I think David’s probably correct.
I know Twitter is a wasteland, but it was so funny to see WVU fans think they were getting McCollum. Talk about a fanbase that has no sense of self awareness. But I guess when your spouse is your cousin, you aren’t the brightest folks.
Waterloo Courier reporting it so it has to be true.
The arrogance of some of them makes this all the more sweet.
Some of you seem to be getting a little ahead of yourselves. I will believe it when I see it.
Yeah, a bunch of smaller Iowa papers all tweeted the same. I’m guessing they are part of the same ownership group. Still, a great sign.
Will be very frustrating if they purposely delay an official announcement so as not to take attention off the women's team. The portal is opening soon, need to make their announcement tonight.
I have a feeling there are more than a couple B1G schools with great student sections that are more interstate/national than the University of Iowa.
I have a feeling portal kids will be convinced by a call from McCollum, with or without an official announcement from Iowa.
Us being frustrated for an extra 48 hours is not hurting anything.
