We are also not getting good recruits at shooting guard or center. Just forwards. Coincidentally it was the same under mccaffrey. At least alford gave us a season (aggregated among the sexual assault allegations) of really fantastic pierre pierce guard play. Man that guy could really ball.

I find the water tower theories farcical and borderline magical thinking. Clearly the issue is lines for carver cones the remedy to which has become unfortunately political. Congress must act.
Until he had to shoot a jump shot or FTs.

Great point guards are rare and expensive. Stirtz reportedly had offers twice what Iowa paid him. That may be why Iowa seems to be looking at combo guards.

PGs are ridiculously overvalued in the portal -- just look at how very flawed products like Harding and Toussaint made out.

Ben trusts Combs. Maybe you live with him to manage the offense and go with a combo guy to pick up some of the scoring you've lost.

There must be something about Iowa City and point guards. You wouldn’t think that would be a thing but too much evidence and history to really suggest otherwise.
Where is Andre Woolridge when you need him...

I’d kill for Drew Thelwell in the portal right now.

Lol at bitching about anything two weeks removed from the first elite 8 in 39 years in year 1.
I think I feel more confident about having sustained success in men’s basketball than football right now. Football survived the BF ineptitude but I worry about the transition when Kirk hangs it up.

I have no doubt Steve will keep things rolling

If you’re not getting better you’re getting worse. Is this guy on vacation or what?

Putting family ahead of the basketball program is a step too far for me

Sounds like that 7-footer, Mckeever was in town yesterday. Huge guy and good rebounder. Not sure on how he fits offensively.

Pretty sure that says “visit” and not “committed”. Could be wrong though.

This is what my son is rolling with right now, except that we are letting it grow long in back, so it’s really capturing the essence of multiple trailer parks.

Look all I ever said was I’m not sold this guy can recruit. Sorry if that hurts your feelings.
