He was huge in the Big Ten Tournament Championship game against Purdue in 2022. I think most of the shit that gets flipped in his direction here is more pushback against the posters who said he would have a nice NBA career than an actual indictment of him as a player. At least I hope so. He was a solid Hawkeye.

Plus he's a great kid from a great family.

I had a friend/acquaintance who got assigned Jay Webb as his Slater roommate freshman year. My friend is the whitest, dorkiest, unathletic weirdo. I can't imagine what went through Webb's head when he met him and over time when he had to interact with him and live with him. I don't know/remember the exact details but I think one day around halfway through the year Webb just moved out without letting my friend know. My friend got back to his room and Webb and all his stuff was gone and he never came back.

As an example of how dorky my friend is/was, he was the official "scorekeeper" of his high school golf team. He would get to go to all the meets with the team where I think he just wandered around with some sort of scorebook in his hands asking kids from both teams what they shot that day.

Memories. I had almost forgotten Jay Webb and how terribly shitty he was at basketball.

The oddest decision in Fran's tenure, and it's not really close.

Do you mean bringing him in at all? If so i agree, that was stupid. But kicking his ass to the curb the moment there was smoke, was a very shrewd move.

In no universe was hubbard going to graduate from iowa. Best case is hed be a solid one year rental. Worst case is pierre pierce redux. Fran knew as long as he stayed out of the basement both in the standings and headlines, he had carte blanche. Hubbard was an existential risk to what turned out to be a 15 year 45 million dollar gravy train. Very shrewd.

Not sure if you or AZ would know him or not. It was Andy Knox. West High class of 90. He was good buds with Keno Davis, which is about right as Keno was a dork too. I caught Keno cheating in a high school golf meet once. I was also in a fantasy football league with him and Andy for several years. A league full of dorks, myself included. Andy hung out at Rienow a ton with all the Iowa golf team guys (I was on the team for two years) so I would see him a lot (I knew him a little bit from high school but of course I was City High not West) and I still remember when the guys started talking about his roommate being Jay Webb. It's comical thinking about it.

Well then that’s clearly not the stupidest story you’ve read in a long time. And I will acknowledge that’s an incredibly stupid story and Bovert should be ashamed of himself.

He came in hot. Should have paced himself. Also shouldn't have chosen an Iowa State related screen name. Mistakes were made.

I also seem to remember a goatee that was more questionable than his shot selection.
