Problem is a grad transfer doesn't really work for Iowa right now. They need depth at 5 but then they'd still need an immediate contributor in 2016.
I agree. Grad transfer doesn't work for us, and it likely doesn't work for the grad transfer. Most grad transfers are looking for a place where they are practically guaranteed to start. And Woody is practically guaranteed to start at the 5 for us next year (about the only thing that would keep Woody out of the starting lineup is an injury or a rape charge)
Well, if you hadn't noticed, there is a gaping hole at the 4 position waiting to be filled. This is a popular name and he is being thrown out there for the heck of it, but someone like Jameel Warney from Stony Brook would be the best thing Iowa could ever hope for.
You would have him step right in for Aaron White, let Dom Uhl play 20+ minutes off the bench and Wagner fill in the rest. Suddenly you are a top level Big Ten team again next year.
I have said all year that Fran should be desperately trying to get a guy like that and Iowa would potentially have no drop off and might even be improved.
