**2021 Iowa Basketball Offseason Thread**

The B10 has played in 7 national championships over the past 20 years. If they'd won 3 or 4 in that time frame I guess this is an entirely different conversation. It's a stupid metric trotted out by stupid people.

Maybe playing in 7 title games is the outlier, not winning 1

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Makes you think.

Plus, when you dig a little deeper into the conference numbers, you really see that there are a few teams that are just NBA factories, as opposed to conference superiority.

I was just going to post this same thing. Basketball isn’t really a “conference strength” sport the same way football is. It’s team dominant.

Like the Big East isn’t great. Nova is.

 

[Hawkstrat]

'I sure wish Izzo recruited like Cal,' seems like an odd thing for an Iowa fan to want.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Who doesn’t want that?
Lol, I watch to be entertained. Watching college basketball is hard enough but watching an obvious lack of high end talent isn’t for me, can’t do much of it.
If people like watching what most of the Big Ten offers, have at it.

AZ loves that Shawnee finally came out as Walmart Fan.

[WCFHawkeye]

Pamida/ShopKo is no more (I believe).

Still looks pretty lumbering but not bad for a 7 footer. Hopefully his pimp, I mean dad, doesn’t ruin it for him.

I can't remember a player I have wanted to succeed more than Luka Garza. He deserves it more than any other player I can think of.

That's so true. Most of the time after guys graduate I sort of lose interest. My kids and I were all in on Luka this past year though, so I want to see him do well. He was their intro to Iowa basketball, and he seems like a great kid, so he might be one I actually follow post Iowa City.

Ryan Bowen?

 

[Orestes]

That's a fucking joke. I just wanted to make a reference to one of Iowa's few NBA careers in the past 25 years.

 

[Creed]

I still think luka should come back for another year.

OK Frank!

 

[CleteyColgate]

He probably will. He likes college

 

[Mo T]

He looks like he's finally shaping his body to be a more athletic type player. I could see him having a big season at Iowa.

Player of the year potential, even.

[AZmessDAWG]

This is Capt Obvious but I think JW’s best ball is still to come. The skill set and athleticism are there plus he’ll be working with training staff to get him where he needs to be strength wise.

good talk.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Not sure

 

[kenos]

Not sure

shure bruh, he's maxed out at 21. no way he'll get any better after a few years as a pro. might even regress. that's a red hot take.
