**2025 Iowa Offseason & Coaching Search Thread***

[KitKatApples]

Yea. And right

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Wasn’t familiar with Howard. He is a Fr guard McCollum must be high on. Reserve but played a lot. Here’s a recent highlight

 

[The Full Monte]

Eickholt jumped the gun, and wanted to report what he read on a $6 discord feed, that the deal was close to final. They were working on terms, but he over-sold it. He ended up being right eventually, while the others didn't bother to even try and report anything, which I guess makes him the best clown in the circus.

This is false

 

[The Full Monte]

They weren't finalizing much if the only decision-maker was still entertaining offers and talking to other schools. He wanted credit for being the one to break coach-has-decided-to-go-to-school (which he was apparently just repeating from a discord feed) when that decision hadn't yet been made.

But either way, it isn't like he's an actual reporter who developed a source, worked that source to get inside information on the current status of the process, and then provided that service to the public. He repeated what was available to anyone with a debit card and enough money to buy a Big Mac. The entirety of the Iowa reporting ranks includes no actual reportage, which is the only reason this discussion has any value at all.

Again, wildly untrue

 

[Revolver]

Alright, I think my time on the Trilly discord has run its course after the conversation has turned to “what should we call McCollum “Run BMC” or any other good nicknames?”.

 

[Gushawk]

Personally just hope we never have a Little Mc, Lotta Bite situation under his stewardship

 

[hawkeyealum]

This article has an Iowa player ranked as a top 3 transfer in 4 out of the 5 positions. And CBS Sports list Freeman & Dix as 2 of the top 10 transfers overall. Lol

The best men’s NCAA basketball transfer portal players per position, including Donovan Dent

One of the most important ways to build a winning roster in college basketball is by using the transfer portal, which is now officially open.

Saw that and had the same thought.

those lists

woof

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Just think if someone could put together a team with Harding, Dix, Sandfort, Freeman plus one other scorer. Sweet 16 minimum.

 

[Gushawk]

LOL, no. They'd give up 90+ per game, and turtle when aggressively guarded by strong black men.

 

[kenos]

So at this juncture, the portal is a role player-filled potential trash heap.

Might even qualify for the conference tournament if they get hot at the right time.

Can I interest you in a Kayden Fish?

Boneless filet only, please. With a light white wine and dill sauce.

The supply and demand going on here is changing. Obviously demand is going up as nearly every school is looking for multiple rotation players, but we've had a surplus of people with extra eligibility due to the COVID year that is drying up.

for a solid role player, the portal is going to be the best path for a junior or senior payout far beyond what they could get from the school that signed them out of HS.

 

[Verbal]

but we've had a surplus of people with extra eligibility due to the COVID year that is drying up.

That number should be at zero by now. I suspect it isn't, but it should be.

 

[hawkeyealum]

The only covid year I support is if your team or you individually didn’t participate at all.

Sure missing the BTT and NCAA sucked for those guys but missing a handful of games, even the final ones, shouldn’t get you another full year.

 

[Brad Wesley]

LOL, no. They'd give up 90+ per game, and turtle when aggressively guarded by strong black men.

Or they play for a coach that teaches defense and some offensive discretion.

 

[Soda Popinski]

What should Applebees name his burger?

Those guys are SOL.

It's the players the following year that get the bonus year.

 

[eclone]

Big Mac, and send them down the street for a cheaper shitty burger

And we’re likely going to be adding in an inflationary factor shortly. Garza got fucked.

Pretty wild considering that I saw there were over 700 kids in the portal as of yesterday.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Only if the schedule works out and they get to play Nebrantska twice

 

[ISUFan98]

The transfer portal should include a price list.

 

[Orestes]

There must have been special classes for education students to learn how to run one of these.

View attachment 61515

Tech in the Classroom. By the time I was taking the class we were learning how to create spreadsheets and do basic Microsoft functions but they said they used to cover shit like this.

 

[Verbal]

The transfer portal should include a price list.

They have to keep up the farce that NIL is actually money that is potentially available to an athlete through private third-parties for use of their name, image and likeness and not straight-up pay-for-play.

 

[kenos]

The transfer portal should include a price list.

Owen Freeman: Scratch and dent, 20% off

Brock Harding: Factory second, 40% off.

Ladji Dembele: Great entry-level, 10% off the already low, low, price

Pryce Sandfort: Low mileage, well-cared-for!

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I would like some players with the likeness of Michael Jordan.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Schools should band together and stop offering athletic scholarships for any revenue driving sport. No more schollies for football and basketball.

 

[KitKatApples]

I would like some players with the likeness of Michael Jordan.

I'll settle for a Clyde Drexler

 

[Mysterio]

Owen Freeman: Scratch and dent, 20% off

Brock Harding: Factory second, 40% off.

Ladji Dembele: Great entry-level, 10% off the already low, low, price

Pryce Sandfort: Low mileage, well-cared-for!

Half pint Brock is at a minimum, 1/2 off

 

[Herbie2]

Pretty wild considering that I saw there were over 700 kids in the portal as of yesterday.

And some of them are on teams in the Sweet 16....those have to be fun practices.

 

[Brad Wesley]

I believe Scottie Pippen’s kid is one of them.

 

[Judge Kemp]

I believe Scottie Pippen’s kid is one of them.

I bet if that is how he listed his name in the portal, he’s get a lot more interest.

 

[WestMifflin]

I believe Scottie Pippen’s kid is one of them.

What's the fucking point of recruiting high schoolers any more

Such a dumb system

There was a clip of some high level college coach (I can't remember who), but he said that they weren't even recruiting high school kids anymore. Transfers only.

You know, watching the Hardin press conference, you’d think he might be good buddies with the register guys and is upset that he made a promise to let them break the story and is running PR for them to cover their asses for holding it.

If you think a multi year contract with NIL considerations just came up and was offered within a few hours (he said he landed at 10 AM but also said McCollum and he had dinner and discussed the offer that night) then, well.

 

[ISUFan98]

They have to keep up the farce that NIL is actually money that is potentially available to an athlete through private third-parties for use of their name, image and likeness and not straight-up pay-for-play.

Dishon Jackson is rumored to be "worth" $500k to $1M. Nothing makes sense anymore.

This had been in progress for like a week. Everyone is just getting in a pissing match because they are all mouth breathing morons.

What would that make Jefferson worth? He’s light years better than Jackson, right?

If Coleman Hawkins gets $2M...I'd rather have Jackson for $500K. Worth is relative

 

[Soda Popinski]

I'm pretty fired up for Ben, myself.

 

[eclone]

Lightyears. And already committed to coming back to ISU. There are almost no leaks of what ISU players are getting in NIL, though. So who knows what he's getting?

 

[tallperson54]

I'm pretty fired up for Ben, myself.

I know that a lot of people like this kind of thing, but god it is so fucking lame.
