They don't care they are a football school now

 

[CamelTones]

I still don’t understand how that’s the best roster DeVries could come up with given the resources he has available to him.

Every transfer other than his son came from a mid major.

He didn't bring any of the West Virginia kids with him other than his kid?? Yikes. That says something right there.

 

[BBK]

I've came around on Combs. Howard has more upside, but you know what you are going to get from Combs every time out.

Our PFs suck right now on offense. I like them both, but it's annoying to see them shit at the exact same time

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Tucker scored 1 point in the last 28+ minutes.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Enright looks and plays like white trash. just like Tucker. Very happy neither are in Iowa City.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Huh?

 

[Herbie2]

Huh?

ENRIGHT LOOKS AND PLAYS LIKE WHITE TRASH. JUST LIKE TUCKER. VERY HAPPY NEITHER ARE IN IOWA CITY.

 

[Revolver]

Every time I hear the name Tucker I think of this guy:

L Tard was in love with Devries and fat Jr. Still is, actually.

What a disaster that woulda been.

Thank you BDB!!!!

 

[BillyBob]

L Tard was so so so wrong about Devries, poor guy thought he was an actual insider instead of some loser “financial advisor”. And then got so bizarre and angry about McCollum.

L tard been kinda quiet lately.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Dude, let's keep it that way

Banks drove me nuts at the beginning of the year. He still misses the occasional layup but that guy can play.

Same.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Banks seems to have more pro upside than Stirtz. He’s a really good defender.

He's going to rock the Finnish league

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Wade really hates Stirtz/McCollum

 

[CamelTones]

Banks went to a JuCo so he may be able to get another year.

 

[Nobody]

If that's a thing and he wants another year here, then...

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Wade really hates Stirtz/McCollum

No I don’t. I just dont see a lot with Stirtz as far as what the league looks for. He’s skinny maybe 6-4 with no left hand.

 

[6deuce]

He’s a really good shooter and they don’t play defense in the NBA. He’ll probably be fine

 

[L. Wade Childress]

he’s a shorter, whiter, softer, and slower Haliburton

 

[6deuce]

Oh

 

[Fletch]

he’s a shorter, whiter, softer, and slower Haliburton

At least he’s not fat like Tucker DeVries.

 

[Natty Bumppo]

He could be Dairy Bird part 2.

 

[Lee Beevers]

Please never post again.

 

[Ingles]

McCollum just said on his Rutgers preview press conference that he had offered Sage's twin brother Ethan as well when Ben was still at Drake.

How did he then end up at Pittsburg St? Turned down the Drake offer?

 

[Fletch]

Looking for immediate playing time and McCollum thought he was a project, probably.

Tate has exceeded expectations so far.

 

[BBK]

He's absolutely going to be a D1 player next year and I hope it's at Iowa

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Indiana cinematic recap. Solid.

 

[CamelTones]

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Same energy:

 

[BBK]

Just rewatched. Sage saved us 3 times in oh shit situations. He won us the game tonight

Howard was awesome defensively and on the glass.

 

[snips]

yah at this point I'm a bit surprised
was thinking hausen and folgueiras would be the main go to guys, not sage and howard

 

[ABeardedDragon]

Spaniard is afraid to go at anyone at the hoop. Unless he's hitting from 3 he has been useless on offense. His defensive rotations aren't great either, he's slow to recognize what is going on.

 

[Saul Berkley]

Alvaro is borderline worthless at times. I wouldn't mind if they let him go after this year and go after another guy. They will have his money freed up, plus Stirtz, and Hausen. They need a big who fits better in Ben's system. It's becoming clear Folgers isn't it.

Ben has to be beside himself. It would not surprise me if we barely saw Alvaro in February. If you’re going to be a worthless turd, might as well be one on the bench.

 

[douglasbader]

He cannot do that though, he has to find a way to get Foulgeras and Hausen to work. This team has a very low ceiling without them when March comes.

 

[Saul Berkley]

I know supposedly Hausen isn't a good defender, but I can't believe they can't find a way to get him 10 minutes or so a game. Just to be a basic 3 point threat with servicable defense. I mean Stirtz isn't exactly a great defender but he plays 40 minutes (and I get why).

 

[CamelTones]

Hausen isn’t going to play. The rotation is pretty much set at this point.
