***2023-2024 Iowa Men’s Basketball Season Thread***

[hawkeyealum]

we all read his pathetic tweet about going to work for his dad

 

[Revolver]

Anyone that believed Jordan bohannon had value as a basketball player and was being unfairly compensated should look up what he's doing now.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Jordan was probably overcompensated considering he got KTFO in a bar.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

WHAT THE FUCK

 

[TurdBurgler]

Disgraceful

The Chris Street Award is presented annually to a Hawkeye player, or players, who best exemplify the spirit, enthusiasm, and intensity of Chris Street.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Maybe they have changed the meaning of the award

 

[douglasbader]

Must. Not. Make. Joke.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Must. Not. Make. Joke.

its sort of the opposite Chris street award

 

[douglasbader]

its sort of the opposite Chris street award

It's not that.

Must. Not. Make. Other. Joke.

 

[Verbal]

 

[L. Wade Childress]

It's not that.

Must. Not. Make. Other. Joke.

that’s not what I meant. That would be too easy.

 

[snips]

make it make sense
something about 'battling through adversity' maybe?

 

[HiawathaHawk]

That’s awful

 

[Brad Wesley]

I suspect Marg is behind this.

 

[Jim Tebow]

Frans gotta go.

 

[Fletch]

 

[The Dad]

Maybe he didn’t have cancer as a pre-teen but at least Owen Freeman had to overcome the adversity of playing with Patrick.

 

[CamelTones]

I will not do MOFR but they didn’t release that tweet until after 10 PM. They had to know the reaction it would get. Curious when they tweeted out the prior winners.

 

[BluesHawk]

Who was second choice, Tony Perkins?

 

[Fletch]

Who was second choice, Tony Perkins?

CJ Fredrick

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

I wonder why NIL sucks.

 

[JD720]

No idea on the prior winners, but I'm guessing this was just tweeted out after the banquet.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

I support this award for his decision not to return to the team for another year

 

[CurdMan]

Sounds like they’re getting Thelwell which is a nice start. Get Hunter locked in this weekend, add a big, and bring Sandfort back and I think that’s a solid team.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Reading that article, Iowa's defense was so stellar they had not one, but two defensive players of the year.

Ben Krikke won the spirit award lol. Perkins won nothing, which would be surprising if he hadn't transferred.

 

[Squat Cobbler]

They even dragged Chris Street's parents there to present the award. They were too nice to say fuck that and walk out. What a disgrace to Chris Street, his family, and that award.

 

[BillyBob]

He couldn’t win it last season cuz he quit on the team.

 

[KitKatApples]

Sounds like they’re getting Thelwell which is a nice start. Get Hunter locked in this weekend, add a big, and bring Sandfort back and I think that’s a solid team.

2024 NBA mock draft: Team analysis for all 30 first-round picks

With the college and international basketball seasons coming to an end, ESPN NBA draft insiders Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo update the 2024 mock draft.

www.espn.com

ESPN has Fartman going 35 to SanAntone

 

[MikeyJoe]

WHAT THE FUCK

That's embarrassing.

In any situation like this (business, sports) there's two kinds of parents: There's the hardass parents who push their kids harder than anyone else because they have high expectations and don't want to be embarrassed by accusations of nepotism. Then there's the parents who think their kid is incredibly special and see no wrong in them while their kid coasts by and all of their coworkers hate them.

He would be dumb to come back

 

[HerkyHopeful]

He would be dumb to come back

Would Wieskamp have been dumb to come back? I don't know. I'd rather see Sandfort stay for selfish reasons, but at the same time who cares.

 

[Saul Berkley]

Yep. Thelwell committed. Good part time PG. Averaged 10 ppg and 6 apg last year.

 

[kenos]

he can make more in NIL than in the G League. nothing the matter now with staying another year.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

At Iowa?

 

[kenos]

surely Iowa can beat 40k

Fran said something like the average on the team in 50.

yeah…if he transfers to KU or Duke

 

[OlePeep]

Frans gotta go.

Doesn't appear to be going anywhere

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I believe in this and only this.

 

[brantshawks]

Doesn't appear to be going anywhere

Is that real!?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Yes

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Is that real!?

 

[CamelTones]

Sounds like they’re not going to be recruiting Hunter anymore now that Thelwell committed.

 

[douglasbader]

Fartman, because of his release and rebounding, has a chance to be what Wieskamp thought he could be.

he can make more in NIL than in the G League. nothing the matter now with staying another year.

Not really. If he goes in that spot, he's likely to get a multi-year deal and a couple million guaranteed. Early 2nd round has turned into pseudo-first round.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Payton has his faults but holy fuck I would leave if Patrick win the Street award over me.

 

[JR Hawks]

Wieskamp hasn't played a minute of meaningful basketball since his junior year at Iowa. Could see a similar outcome with Sandfort.

Let me guess, they're comparing Sandfort to Duncan Robinson?

 

[Pinehawk]

Payton busted his ass this season, rode his teammates hard, and showed the most emotion and heart...and Patrick gets handed the Chris Street award. While he looked completely lost most of the season and got benched halfway through the year. And as he leaves town. Ridiculous.

 

[The Full Monte]

yeah…if he transfers to KU or Duke

KU seems like they're going to throw some serious money around this offseason

 

[cjhawks]

KU seems like they're going to throw some serious money around this offseason

Well that would certainly be a first for them

 

[snips]

yah if KU can get some talent down there... WATCH OUT
