provided the university supports him with resources to match his vision

grok speak truth

 

[AZmessDAWG]

But doesn’t Iowa also have an extra $6M because they didn’t have to pay that same buyout to WVU for DeVries? I assume Drake doesn’t have a buyout.

I assume every contract has a buyout. Isn’t that standard once you get to the D1 level?

 

[brantshawks]

Ben doesn't have a 'I have a buyout' hairline.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I’ll ask @Grok

 

[Hawk&Balls]

You'll ask @cock

 

[AZmessDAWG]

A-

 

[cloudhawk]

Grok is doug

 

[KitKatApples]

Maybe Iowa should just hire Grok.

Maybe they should just build the whole plane out of Groks

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I wear socks with groks

[cloudhawk]

Ssshhh.....

 

[Kerky]

I have a bad feeling that Tallperson may end up getting banned. As someone said above, he is going to have his pick of jobs either this year or next at the latest, and I don't feel confident in Iowa being in a strong enough position for his services.

 

[Rolo Tomassi]

Watching the Drake game I was impressed with two things, McCollum's intelligent and strategic use of timeouts, and Drake's tenacious defense, two things foreign to Fran during his 15 years at Iowa.

 

[Lil Scamp]

Awesome!

 

[Talkin' Goat]

 

[Gushawk]

Also the win should help with any key donors on the fence. That was a masterclass in coaching if they watched the game. I could see people getting fired back up for McCollum even after the DeVries disappointment.

I certainly found the not playing like tremendous pussies bit to be quite refreshing. Hopefully some people with gobs of money did too.

 

[The Dad]

But how many were from Waukee?

 

[The Dad]

If Iowa somehow lands McCollum, there needs to be a stipulation in his contract that his kid, who was first team all state this year, needs to go play somewhere else.

No more nepotism!

If that prevents him from coming, his kid can fucking start because McCollum is a gotdamn wizard.

 

[Fletch]

If we don’t get McCollum I may murder @tallperson54 .

this has been my concern for some time. He’s a very involved parent but that’s probably because he’s on the spectrum as it relates to hoops.

his kid is a D2 player. He was the 4th best player on his team but he just got a lot of stuff run for him.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

So was Drake's entire team and look how that turned out

 

[Fletch]

The entire Drake roster is D2 players and they are a win away from somewhere we haven’t been in 26 years.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Also how the fuck are there 10 spots on an all state first team?

 

[Fletch]

Scooped by Balls

Mccollum didn’t take his entire team with him. He took the best players.

 

[Fletch]

Who all played D2.

 

[Kerky]

Just looked up Macs bio and damn I feel old. He's the same age as one of my nephews and was born the same year as my freshman year at Iowa.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Scooped by Balls

And don't you forget it

 

[Fletch]

McCollum was given a knife to use in a gunfight and he’s cutting some bitches.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Jfc. Let me rephrase then. His kid will be a lower end D2 player. And enough with coaches kids on the team. Even if they are walking on, it changes the locker room dynamic.

 

[The Dad]

Also how the fuck are there 10 spots on an all state first team?

And somehow neither of the 6’7 kids from NW got one of them over McCollum’s kid.

 

[KitKatApples]

[kenos]

McCollum ain't coming.

Quote and mock if it happens, but he's now out of Beth's league. She'll hook up with some dude we haven't mentioned yet.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

that both have several D1 offers

Probably because he shopped around for the best situation before buying a house.

they also have a sophomore who has no business dressing varsity.

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

Really appreciate all the "gee guys, I dunno if this is gonna work out" takes. Shit falling through for Iowa had been a heretofore unheard of concept around here but thank fuck all these realists are weighing in to set everyone straight

This board has spent the last several years bitching about soft white kids from Waukee and nepotism.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I've never been as embarrassed for someone else as I am right now, after reading L.Wade's All-State shit.

*D3

After all of the work his dad did interviewing coaches to find the best "program" to move in to, I expected him to be better.

 

[Fletch]

We’re definitely not in good hands.

 

[Lil Scamp]

Everything is going start coming up Millhouse.

[L. Wade Childress]

He’s a good high school player. Nothing wrong with that. It’s the difference in talent and his parents ability to assess that talent that makes me nervous.

 

[Gushawk]

Can we stop talking about a high school kid who isn’t going to Iowa?

 

[The Dad]

Can we stop talking about a high school kid who isn’t going to Iowa?

Lol Nope…

 

[Gushawk]

I think Ben is smarter than Fran, Lick and apparently all those schools’ coaches assuming they have in fact offered Brock

 

[Squat Cobbler]

He's not playing meaningful minutes at any of those schools.
