I will not.

Nope, not clicking that.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

RIP @Gushawk

 

[hawkeyealum]

Better or worse than Patrick’s plyo video?

 

[Stomper15]

Why they let HawkCentral post that will not help anyone understand his status as a LATFG mid major recruit.

 

[BBK]

Jirak looking like a LATFG hall of famer

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

I am sorry @Gushawk , I release you from your vow

 

[Monster]

McCollum: On adding reigning Iowa Mr. Basketball Trevin Jirak of West Des Moines Valley, a nimble 6-11 big: “Elitely skilled," McCollum said. "Can shoot, can pass, can trigger your whole offense. I'm hoping he can adjust to this level pretty quickly, but we'll see.”

Translation: Get in shape.

 

[Gushawk]

That kid should hire me as his diet and nutrition consultant. Whatever he’s doing ain’t it.

I understand the last 15 years of Iowa Basketball have led you to believe there is no hope, but I believe McCollum will emphasize this aspect of off season preparation. He may not make it this year, but he has a chance to be really good for Iowa.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Jirak and Tate are no worse than Tadjo and Mulvey

he appears to have great hands and basketball iq if he has the will and genetics to transform the package in which they’re wrapped

 

[Squat Cobbler]

He's 18, 6'11" with some skill and not a stick figure. That's something to build off of.

 

[kenos]

Lohaus starter kit.

(not nearly as good, but stretch guy who can rebound and shoot)

 

[Debit One]

That's comforting.

 

[Gushawk]

I’d feel much better if the training photos involved him in a weight room being screamed at by a much younger and fitter man than the one pictured.

I'd feel better if we had video of him sparring with the gorilla

 

[Gushawk]

So would Dolph

 

[Brad Wesley]

I don’t care what he looks like as long as he can play.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Garza was more highly recruited but he was also a dumpy highly skilled player coming in.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

I would be very happy with a less productive, better coached defensively Garza.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Garza was more highly recruited but he was also a dumpy highly skilled player coming in.

He had a tumor the size/weight of a gallon of milk in his belly. He became lighter on his Frankenstein feet once that was removed.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

He also worked his ass off. I just think there is mild hope for this kid, and Iowa needs to find value at some positions.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

I agree, but every team has a giant who rarely plays.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

I actually think there’s a lot to like about this kid. But I also enjoy the HaLo-esque commentary on his current physique.

 

[Gushawk]

Trevor will need to go to Krispy Kreme instead of HaLo for his sugar-coating

 

[26.2]

Lohaus starter kit.

(not nearly as good, but stretch guy who can rebound and shoot)

So you anticipate him eventually running a restaurant in IC someday and knocking up a waitress while he's married?

 

[kenos]

Yes, yes, yes.

Enough good citizens already.

 

[LifelongHawk]

Scout team needs a center for the rotation guys to practice against. Some bigs take forever to develop, so I'm ok with him having 1 of the 15.

He looks more athletic than Les Jepsen did when he showed up, and he miraculously was really good as a senior.

We still need a center for next year.

 

[BillyBob]

Not every recruit is gonna be a big, strong muscled hunk.

Some of them gonna be soft, pear shaped, and feminine of body.

 

[douglasbader]

I remember how jealous you were that Lohaus put his load in McKenzie instead of the back of your throat.

 

[26.2]

I remember when you brought flowers for McKenzie every day for a month to get a date with her, just for the Cress boyzzz to spit roast her nightly the entire time!

 

[Hawk&Balls]

sounds like mckenzie had a great college experience

 

[6deuce]

preferably black

 

[jabberjaw]

My recollection is that her name is McKinsey. Unless there's also a McKenzie?

 

[Herbie2]

You are correct.

 

[Herbie2]

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Dudes

 

[26.2]

Doug's college crush has fallen on some hard times, no doubt.

 

[Herbie2]

 

[Hawk&Balls]

We get it, photos exist

 

[Mysterio]

where did her and lohaus love child tayeton end up playing football

 

[newsbreaker]

Doug was a smitten kitten?

 

[douglasbader]

Absolutely not.

 

[newsbreaker]

God dammit. I thought this could be the start of a friendship.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Ew

 

[26.2]

Hard to say who college Doug crushed on more, Kinzie or Rob Thein when he used to waltz in to the liner!

 

[Gushawk]

When you get to be our age most girls we crushed on back in the day ain’t lookin’ so fine.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Lohaus starter kit.

so his future baby mama hasn’t been born yet?
