Well, bye (Sandfort)
- Thread starter BlIIlken2
- Start date
Wasn’t this announced like a few weeks ago already. I saw this posted somewhere else recently like it was new news but I swear it was known a few weeks ago already.
This looks like the normal "getting feedback" routine. I would be very surprised if he does not return. Business as usual; no need to freak out.
If his brother wasn't at Iowa, I could see him portaling to West Virginia.
I think the tweet should say "Payton will explore the draft process." The odds are more than likely that he returns to school.
Are you not smart? He ain't going anywhere.
Testing the waters while maintaining eligibility. I don't blame him, really. If he doesn't get chosen or if the odds aren't looking good, he'll be back next year.
Weezy did this once or twice. Just part of the process at this point.
One of the feedback points will be “hit the weight room”.
Yes, likely he is coming back. IF his Brother wasn't at Iowa, I would also be worried about him Portaling out. He's a good shooter....if that ex-Rutger's guy Spencer can be reinvented at a school at UCONN when surrounded by talent, I think the same would be true of Sandfort. He would be a NIL worthy 3rd or 4th scorer on a better team.
I think the Swarm goal is $1 million for men's basketball...don't know how close we are, but makes sense the current guys like Payton, Josh, Freeman would all be worth >$100K on NIL open market, so a good chunk of our NIL money would have to go to retaining the guys we have.
Along with 'get consistent'
Wieskamp did it after his Freshman season and returned for a sophomore and junior year.
By May 29th, you'll see 2 words in quotation marks on the Iowa website from Payton Sandford. "I'm Back" bank on it.
Another year playing with his brother is something that can't be measured in money.

I don’t go to many NBA games, but went last week - those players are all just big men!
We have had numerous players test the NBA waters and return. I expect Payton will do the same.
Yep, and maybe after many years of organized BB, someone can finally teach him how to get into a guarding position.
Work on finding smooth air.
80% of my flights this year have been a fricking roller coaster.
You’re telling me. I want to quit. It sucks. 15 years of doing this and the weather/air is drastically worse.
I think coaches who have enriched themselves on the backs of their players should fund the NILs. Can coaches contribute to the swarm?
Not that I'm an expert on this but I've heard some experts call this the "worst draft ever" which could have the effect of having Sandfort land in a draft position he normally wouldn't get. This could mean if he waits to go until next year he could actually perform better next season but lose draft positions simply because of the players coming out after next season.
At least watching on TV most NBA bores me. Late in the finals gets interesting.
I'll bet anyone that the man never sees a foot playing in an NBA game.
He'll be back with the Hawkeyes next season. If we could get a stellar guard and a decent big man through the portal, we could be a pretty good team next year.
I caught the Bulls/Pacers - Ayo Dosunmu (IL) played well for the Bulls, if he continues to find his stroke he will do well in the league for a long time since he already plays great defense. Andre Drummond played for the Bulls - former Uconn player who must be pushing 300 lbs and change. I don't watch a lot of NBA on TV either, but like the NFL - when you see these players in person you have a real appreciation for their speed/size.
I didn't like Ayo because he was a rival of ours lol, but I'm glad he's doing well in Chi-Town. I wish Sacramento had Drummond. He would be a nice backup for Sabonis. He had a nice double-double vs the Hawks last game. I hope to catch an NBA game someday live.
