Good for him! Hope he sticks this time and achieves his dream.

Settles - Arrived ready to play. Averaged over 15 pt/gm as a freshman. Back injury was a killer Aaron White - Was a bit of a sleeper when he got here, but proved he belonged right away. 2nd leading scorer Greg Brunner - Hard working, slightly undersized, could do it all (probably pushed...

I think it surprises some of these city kids when they come to Iowa City. They associate Iowa as being overwhelmingly white and rural, but once they spend some time here, they discover how many nice people live here and, especially in Iowa City, how diverse it is. Iowa is mocked as simply a...

Not bagging on the kid, because McCaffery has a better nose for talent than most, but he has the weakest set of offers of any of the big guys that have been offered by Iowa. So many of these kids are unrated due to the virus cancelling so many summer events, it's hard to get a decent idea of...

Jepsen only played in 52 NBA games and averaged 1 point/game.

R.I.P. Ben. A lot of other players on that team got more accolades than you, but you were essential to the success of the team.

He reclassified to 2020. We really didn't have a spot for him. We are in on a lot of great HS players this year. Hopefully the staff can convince one or two to wear the Black and Gold.

What? No love for Candy LaPrince? He averaged 19 pts/gm as a senior and 16pts/career.

I'm a pessimist at heart, but I was hoping Garza would come back and we long suffering Hawk fans would finally win another B1G title and maybe even make it to another Final Four. Unfortunately, I think the scattershot approach to dealing with the pandemic is making it more and more unlikely...

Kevin Kunnert was a great center that seems to have fallen through the cracks because he played on those awful Dick Schulz teams. Averaged a double/double (16 Pts/13 Rbs) for his career here and played nine years in the pros.

The recruits Iowa are pursuing for the upcoming years have a lot of major programs also attempting to sign them. That can be a mixed blessing. It shows that the coaching staff now feel they have a chance with these higher ranked high school players, but battling the big boys may make it...

Update: He now has until August 3rd to make his decision.

The NBA has firmed up their draft date for October 16th. Luka now has until October 7th to withdraw his name form the proceedings. Please come back to the fold Luka. It could be that very rare momentous season for the Hawks with you on board.

Lohaus and Jepsen (The Pride of Bowbells) don't make my list. They both only scored in double digits their senior year and really didn't contribute a ton until then. Adam Woodbury never did score double digits, but started all but one game in his career at Iowa and was very good defensively...

If not this season, when? Yes, there have been disappointments before. Personally, I thought the '13-'14 and '14-'15 teams were going to be really good, but the former flamed out down the stretch and the latter ran into Gonzaga in the second round of the NCAA's, but also lost too many home...

I am of the opposite view. I hope everyone BUT the Murrays redshirt, and it's because of what occurred with Olaseni. I would have loved to have him for one more year as a developed player rather than have him play a few minutes as a freshman as a raw recruit. We currently have plenty of...

FWIW, Dickie V tweeted that Luka joined his teammates for the first voluntary workout. FYI / doesn’t mean @LukaG_55 is definitely going to return to @IowaHoops for 2020-21 season but he did show up today for the 1st voluntary practice in Iowa City .There is no doubt he loves playing for all the...

Discovering that Kirk was the reverse Hoiberg was really an eye opener. If you believe DJK, that is.

I read today that the NCAA has extended the June 3rd date for players considering jumping to the NBA this year. They've left it open for now based on the NBA's plans for actually having the draft. What we do know is that unless Luka just outright makes a decision, we may have to wait even...
