Twitter says Drew McKeever, 7’2” center from St. Mary’s someone to keep an eye on.

Is he any good? He didn't block many shots or shoot that well being in a tiny conference.

Defend & rebound is the hope I assume

Also he would be a solid addition to the Iowa Hawkeyes in my opinion

Is he a big mother fucker? Can he block a shot and grab a rebound?

Then yes.

Iowa needs a big mantis mother fucker and a small quick mother fucker. Done.

I figured all or most of the st Mary's transfers would follow their coach to ASU.

He can’t enter the portal before his big meet and great at the Vine in Coralville!!!
I heard he has cancelled the meet and greet

The Vine FB: Unfortunately we need to cancel our event this Sunday with Alvaro Folgueiras. I have been in touch with Alvaro and his agent, and unfortunately, international athletes have stricter rules regarding NIL in order to comply with their visas. We have been trying to find a solution, but ultimately we need to act in the best interests of Alvaro’s career. We apologize to everyone who was looking forward to this event as much as we were. We will continue to hold these type of events regularly and hope to see everyone at the next show.

I love the way you don’t waste words and get right to the point.

Was the speculation that he’s portaling based on this cancelled event?

That’s a whale of a shift, Lee.
We have an earnings call next Tuesday. It’s the quarterly one so people need to ask me questions I’ve answered three times over the last months. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Rascal I don’t see anything!!!!
It's very likely that Alvaro is moving on.
Yep, he's entering the portal, likely today. It's more Iowa than Alvaro, but it's mutual on some level. His $1m+ for a 7th man not worth it and going to get a (likely) expensive true center and PG.

Idiot IowaFan will freak out, but with Koch / Thompson / Harris on the wing and them needing a high level PG and C, it makes a lot of sense to use that $1m elsewhere.

Whatever Iowa paid him this year was probably too much anyways. A higher payday makes no sense. Let some dumbass overpay like Iowa did with Hausen this year. Supposedly Iowa spent 5 million on Folgers, Hausen, and Stirtz.
