So why do you feel the need to provide negative comments about the kid? I have a hard time believing you actually "scout" players. People in the business of "scouting" players generally have a more professional air about them and rarely, if ever, knock down a kid. They may say what the player...

Do all the transfers from Lickliter's era count against Iowa's graduation rate? Is that possibly why the sudden (apparent) lack of interest in another JUCO guard?

maybe there's more to Coco Ware than meets the eye. Perhaps (and I certainly don't know this) he at risk of not meeting Iowa admission requirements. Or, the staff is more comfortable with Marble, Jr., as a guy who can play the point for a few minutes/game and see him as the real back up PG...

Re: Slow day today I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been bigger in the media. Made the front of the Chicago Tribune online site yesterday. Truly a bizarre set of circumstances. Here are a couple of links to what's been said publicly. University of Iowa Doctor Charged With Filing False...

Slow day today There's other news going on at the UIHC today that seems to be at the forefront of many of our thoughts.

DAMN! JehovahShalom is right! We're still lacking a graduate assistant! :mad: What in the name of Allah is McCaffery thinking? :confused: Dropped the ball again, I guess. :eek:

He's referring to Ware the potential JUCO point guard. He has only 1 year of eligibility remaining, which is probably scaring off a majority of teams that otherwise might be after his services.

I simply said they were "worth looking at" not the number one option for recruiting. Frankly, I would really like it if Iowa was able to get Katenda and Coleman over Uthoff and Oglesby. I think it really could open up recruiting on the east coast. Getting the best of the Iowa kids (short of...

Well, gee whiz, how many ARE like Barnes? No, I wouldn't put Uthoff and Oglesby in the same category as the NUMBER 1 high school player in the country, but let's think about how many are #1? Hmmm. I think both Uthoff and Oglesby are fine players and certainly worth taking a look at...

I know it's not good for the Hawks (as if we would be competing for a Big Ten title next season anyway), but I do like seeing the kids fulfill their 4 year committments.

Most dislikable = Pierre Pierce for obvious reasons

Got mine as well yesterday.

I certainly hope he wouldn't be molested anywhere! Ames, Des Moines, or any place :eek: Hoiberg seems like a good guy, probably a decent pick for a coach for ISU, but seriously doubt he's going to rail in all the top Iowa kids. He'll get his share, no doubt, but enough to call this the...

How many visits does he have? He just may want to use all of his visits just to be absolutely sure. That's what I would do even if I was 90+% sure of where I wanted to go. It's quite likely he's never even been to Iowa so it would be difficult for a 17-18 year old to commit immediately...

"Talkinhawks" makes a good point about Bowen Ryan Bowen has experience in Europe and just may have some recruiting ties across the Atlantic. Horner also played over there, and just may have some insights. As a first coaching gig I think Bowen would be perfectly fine. Great fundamentals...

I don't think it's a matter of "chasing..." ...off Larson." Let's face it, for most HS players if your choice is Florida or Iowa I think the answer's pretty easy. I'm not saying I like it, but doubt there's a heckuva lot McCaffery can do.

Not me; I hate roller-coasters! All in all though, I'm imagine life will go on without Larson and any other players who decide to leave or get released from their LOI.

Aha! That makes sense then. Just merely a coinky-dinky.

Tigger: I saw Jess over at CHA over the noon hour today in a suit and what also looked like a setup for a photo-shoot (several chairs lined up in front of one of the baskets). Also saw several others in suits as well, but from the mezzanine couldn't really tell who they were. There was a...

Is one of them Anthony cousin of Butler CC? I know he's looking to leave after just his freshman year and being recruited by several schools in the midwest including I believe Marquette.
