Trace Jackson Davis returning to Indiana for his senior year. I'm sure it's to finish his degree and not bcuz he was promised a fat wallet.
Or because his game doesn't translate to the NBA.Trace Jackson Davis returning to Indiana for his senior year. I'm sure it's to finish his degree and not bcuz he was promised a fat wallet.
His most likely option to play pro basketball next year was a 2 way contract. He'll easily make more than that now.He’s getting a 6 figure payment to be the most recognizable player on a college campus where basketball is king while taking next to 0 classes. Oh and his game doesn’t really translate to the next level. Why would he not return?
He is also the perfect application of NIL. I know all of the recruiting and transfer shit is dumb, but he is a proven player who has invested time with the school. This doesn’t bother me at all.He’s getting a 6 figure payment to be the most recognizable player on a college campus where basketball is king while taking next to 0 classes.

Those guys all played 4 years anyway, though. The ones it might make a difference on are the Tyler Cooks and Joe Wieskamps.Oh yeah im all for it. We are between eras it feels like. 10 years ago the options for a TJD type player was either be a premier amateur and make no money, make shit money in the g league, or make somewhat ok money Europe. You will see more 4/5 year players now for sure.
Guys like Aaron white, marble, gatens, woody and gesell would have made $100k a year at least in this environment.
LolFucking gross
I don’t either and I think it’s silly for people to get mad.I HAVE NO IDEA IF MATT GATENS IS A GOOD ASSISTANT BASKETBALL COACH. Thank you.
If they can get Jeff Horner to replace Sherm, Schaumburg should become a pipeline.Get someone that can recruit Chicago
It’s never been a true “application” process and it’s not an iowa thing. HC’s hire assistants 99% of the time based on a recommendation. They all have their own networks and subnetworks. If they worked with a guy 10 years ago, or a player played for a guy that worked with a guy type of thing.I also have no idea whether or not he'll make a good coach. But much like on the football side of things, the question becomes, are they seeking the best coach or the most malleable option.

It’s never been about hiring the best person available.
We just need Gatens to be a good recruiter.I HAVE NO IDEA IF MATT GATENS IS A GOOD ASSISTANT BASKETBALL COACH. Thank you.
That's my least favorite thing about himLove Gatens. He graduated and did it right.
I think Eldridge fills that role better.We just need Gatens to be a good recruiter.
Fixed.I don’t either and I think it’s silly for people to get mad.
I do, however, have a general belief that when considering the applicant pool for a coaching position at the University of Iowa, the odds that a beloved former player happens to be the most qualified candidate are likely low.
But also whatever, he’s just an assistant. And Fran has shown over the years that it’s not like he’s going to use an assistant position on a bag man or someone that coaches defense. So my level of caring is low.
If people were a little leas PISSED about the obvious ol AZ wouldn’t have to mansplain it.Thanks for the inside scoop Az.
Read his post.If people were a little leas PISSED about the obvious ol AZ wouldn’t have to mansplain it.
no, YOURead his post.
Mulvey will jump Josh.They are set. Had their end of the year "reviews" with the players and suggest that Ogundele transfer.
Went after multiple big men in the portal. Got close on the Louisiana kid, but Ole' Miss bought him by paying him and hiring his coach. Fran then went to Ogundele and told him to come back. He came back.
The only thing left is Kris coming back, which is virtually guaranteed now.
Bowen / Ulis
Perkins / Dix / Kingsbury / Nimmers
Patrick / Sandfart / Laketa
Kris / Connor
Rebecca / Ogundele / Mulvey
Going to be like a #8 in the Big Ten and bubble team most likely. Can go to the top half and solid #7 seed if Kris is really good and Bowen is a game changer.
Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things.Glad to see Kris will be here.
Glimmer of hope.
Wow he's got hopsMulvey will jump Josh.
For brewing?Wow he's got hops
Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things.
Sandfart isn't likely to start either way is my guess. The only way that happens is if Tony Perkins is the PG.For those who think Bowen starts, who do you pull?
Sandfart? He might end up being our best player on offense next year. Pat isn't going to happen. Do you decide to go small and go with Kris at the 5 and no Rebecca?
That sucks tho. Man that dude has a lot of potential.Sandfart isn't likely to start either way is my guess. The only way that happens is if Tony Perkins is the PG.
Fran would need to do the following to make Sandfart a starter....That sucks tho. Man that dude has a lot of potential.
Obviously in a perfect world if Bowen is really good, it's Pat who sits. But that just isn't going to happen unfortunately
That's my suggested lineup above.Fran would need to do the following to make Sandfart a starter....
Perkins
Sandfart
Pat
Kris
Rebecca
The key to success in life is almost exclusively through a college educationGlad to see Kris will be here.
Glimmer of hope.
Ring-a-Ding-DingAre we totally sure Fran doesn't start Connor? He's started 67 games in his career
I did this troll last yearAre we totally sure Fran doesn't start Connor? He's started 67 games in his career
