**2026 Iowa Basketball Offseason & Transfer Portal Thread**

[Lil Scamp]

Can we just use names some of us aren't smart

 

[L. Wade Childress]

15 is a hard limit. Scholarship status doesn’t matter.

I am under the impression that Peyton is on scholarship.

 

[Jim Tebow]

Doesn't matter. Can only have 15 people on the roster. All can be scholarship.

Ah i see. So jkoch can be kicked out at least. Pmac's grit probably way too valuable to kick off the roster entirely.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

You don’t kick your starting PG off of scholarship

 

[HiawathaHawk]

No one is keeping 15 players that all think they can and should play. Everyone needs a couple walkons who embrace being scout/practice players and get good grades. You’re playing an 8-9 man rotation and still have 3-4 spots for developmental guys and emergency plans.

[douglasbader]

Jim Tebow is the biggest fucking moron in the world.

 

[Mysterio]

ur not gonna pay 15 guys. use the money on 12 and let the last 3 be walkons or guys just happy to have a scholarship

Ya but this is like "hang out with Swarm groomer guy and sign autographs for beer money" NIL not big time NIL.

No shit?

Trust me. I know these things.

Stop with the Pmac shit. Thank you

It is a dipshit identifier.

My bad, that had to be triggering

Can't wait for this season to finally end so the portal can really get going. My ideal portal player would be Erik Hansen (senior season) -- defensive anchor, shot blocker and rebounder.

Top 2 centers on 247, I dunno how accurate or inclusive their list is. Both fit the bill to me, both African natives. I don't want that 3 point shooting ugly dude from Vanuatu.

 

[The Dad]

At this point in the process I think I’m going to hold out hopes for someone slightly better than Erik Hansen.

I remember. That 2005 season ended horribly, but it was one of the few times in the 00-15 era where Iowa basketball was actually good. They went undefeated that season @ home. Erik Hansen was elite that year, pointy fucking elbows and all. He would be a $2-3 million portal player today.

WTF??

He averaged 4 rebounds per game!!!

I didn’t realize Erek Hansen was African. Makes sense. Resembles the skinny light skin brother from Road Trip.

I agree.

Ben McCollum had a farm

I believe you are confusing him with Ben McDonald, former number one draft pick

Coon committed

Iowa men's basketball lands commitment from four-star wing Jaidyn Coon

Iowa men's basketball has added to its 2026 high school recruiting class, landing a commitment from four-star wing Jaidyn Coon.

COON COMMITTED

Goddamnit. Scooped by @HiawathaHawk . Search function sucks.

Dolph should just retire now

I’m really excited abt this commitment. Only saw the one game when they played Solon at state tournament but he’s already physically ready for big ten play and athletic as hell. And has a decent skill set to match.

Gonna be a good one.

I watched both his games at the state tournament and he was great in the Solon game and even better in the ADM game. He is very talented. I’m over the moon about this commitment.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Iowa just doesn’t pump out many of these kids athletically.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Getting a little sunny in here!

That’s just the glare off of @The Dad ’s ugly, bald head.

The Human Clit will be here soon to darken and dampen the mood.

If we had a black coach we could maybe land a fully black recruit but this is a start.

I wish Coach McCollum could have inherited a George Raveling roster.

 

[Lee Beevers]

Whichever recruit is from the south or west side of Chicago would be better for Iowa in the long run! We need those public league kids!!!

You’re so fucking weird.

Watched Coon at state and right now he strikes me more as someone who plays like Banks. Outside game is not first look, likes to drive and use his body/athleticism.

His demeanor strikes me as someone who is going to get after it and work to get better. Really like the match with BMC and what he can pour into Coon.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

@ me next time bitch

Fuck you.

 

[brantshawks]

Fuck you.

Hey, Jealousy.
