Maybe Pemsl is a miracle healer. Didn’t they just remove hardware? Unless they took out a rod or something too. I know his original surgery was pretty intense.

He's right though. You post about the Hawks like a 50 year old lady trying to let all the other ladies at church know that she's heard some gossip.
What? I will basically give as much detail as I am comfortable giving. While this board requires registration enough people know me on this board that I don’t think it’s right to repeat unsubstantiated stuff.


You always have the option to use the ignore feature.
Just say "this is unsubstantiated" and then tell us the thing.

There are like fifty people on this whole fucking board and all of us know what "unsubstantiated" means.
Maybe you should check out Hawkeye Heaven instead

I would not be against some four guard lineups given that Dailey hasn’t been terrible on D lately.

Kakert and Wade both hearing he’s having surgery at Mizzou.

My working theory is Fran's been leaking these rumors in order to embarrass the local media when Cook suits up Wednesday.

If all of this is true, it means that Wieskamp has to step into the alpha role a bit sooner than expected. He’s ready though

so then

garza and weiskamp take over for the rest of the year, and kriener gets more minutes to develop. ncaa gone.

next year, you have everyone but nick baer back. nunge takes baer's minutes, pemsl becomes the hype man on the bench, and you add patrick and toussaint.

really needed a little run this year to help hook a good class with (if cook has surgery) five seniors on next year's team, but, you work with what you have to work with.

So has Cook played his last game ss a hawk?

probably not.

if he has season-ending surgery, his value (which was euro league/G League to start with) plunges.

Cook probably is more badly hurt than any of us hope, but lol at people citing Kakert’s “Cook is going to be out awhile” comments. He doesn’t know anything. I mean fuck, I typically get iowa basketball and football news before Iowa media guys do, and that’s their job. It can’t be overstated how bad these guys are at getting and breaking news. How do you work for 20+ years and not have sources?

It’s also laughable how afraid these guys are to actually come out and share news on the rare occasions they do have it. They are so afraid of getting shunned. And then they bitch about Iowa fans to each other on Twitter. It’s amateur hour all the way around

Which is exactly why after pressed multiple times for a time frame on TOS Tom just keeps saying "extended period"

I'm sure they're right but it is funny that all of the angst among Iowa basketball fans online is based solely on reports from L. Wade, Kakert and Legend.

Edit: AZ too.

And L Wade cannot tell what he “knows”, on an anonymous, closed board, because he “knows” too many people. But he can hint at stuff and be vague. Aka pretty much be a faggot.

It's not all that anonymous. Plus, medical information is a little different than him telling us Hock will be back (will he?)
It's a message board and I enjoy the rumors. Even if they aren't always right. But I've found that most of the time, when it's on HALO, it's right, or pretty damn close to it.

Clearly. Saying "I hear he might be out 6-8" would cause the collapse of the Hippocratic oath as we know it.

If its is surgery, I wonder if it's that surgery Tua had where they put a rod in the high ankle area to heal the high ankle sprain faster.

Or he could just say nothing at all. But that's not much fun.

A syndesmosis screw. Yeah, if the space between the tibia and fibula have widened that is an option but only for more severe injuries. I have a hard time believing this is exclusively an “ankle” issue.

Not everyone can have sources like Jon Miller, retweeting Heather Burnside, who is quote-Tweeting Chad Leistikow.

some middling reliever for the Cubs got better not because his fastball improved 4 MPH at age 31 but because he "located his pitches better."

Matt Rodgers was Iowa's quarterback in 1990 and 1991.

Do some still do the tightrope procedure for these?

I've seen that done, and I assume some do. I don't know all the intricacies of the specific surgical approaches, because I just do a little sports med with office procedures. It depends on what the anatomy looks like though and for most of the cases I see, they just stabilize with a screw traditionally. I don't do any regular OR stuff, however.

Hopefully, the "surgery" that's he's having done is just PRP

Wait, we need to back up here. Who knows L Wade's real identity? This has been one of the best kept secrets this board has ever had. If anyone knows who L Wade is, that is just creepy as fuck.

I don't know L Wade but I know his mother, if you know what I mean.
