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

[Greg Obrecht]

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.

Good point guards are rare and expensive

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.

 

[Geese]

I ride with CBM

 

[cloudhawk]

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...

 

[Revolver]

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

 

[Creed]

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

I wouldn't kill but I'd support paying him good money

 

[shoot-the-three]

Who would I have to kill?

 

[6deuce]

3 sunshine bois

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Who would I have to kill?

Wade

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Another day of silence. Not good.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

We’re gonna trot out Peyton McCollum, aren’t we?

 

[Shawneemicks]

Not good at all, that elite 8 run feels like years ago

 

[The Dad]

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

 

[Shawneemicks]

He seems like a staycation kinda guy imo

 

[kenos]

clearly, it's time to fire ben

 

[L. Wade Childress]

The exact opposite. He was watching his kids play AAU.

 

[KitKatApples]

 

[Shawneemicks]

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

 

[Mitchandrsn]

 

[The Dad]

 

[TurdBurgler]

That's the guy we really want. Still a freshman, combo guard that can handle the ball, and shoots a lot of 3s.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Vacation must be over

 

[Saul Berkley]

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

 

[Shawneemicks]

Not a good sign if he left town

 

[KitKatApples]

Maybe he needed to go get his stuff

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Maybe he needed to go get his stuff

They sell freezers locally.

 

[KitKatApples]

Should be able to get a used one

he probably asked “so who is my PG?”

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’m telling you it’s the sweet corn

 

[Stomper15]

Vanderbilt....

 

[KitKatApples]

WELL FUCK!

 

[Mr. Hawk]

Assurances were made!

 

[AZmessDAWG]

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

 

[Revolver]

You’ll have to subscribe to see the rest!!! Basically it says to any and all Iowa fans:

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Lot of Iowa guys starting to follow McKeever on IG.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Iowa adjacent

 

[Mitchandrsn]

 

[Geese]

He has that retarded haircut so you know he'll be good

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Low taper fade?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

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.

 

[Revolver]

But seriously, it sounds like Ace Glass is the one.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

Low taper fade?

With textured fringe.

 

[Mysterio]

he looks like a dork

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Still nothing?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

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

 

[Geese]

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

At least it isn’t permed. My son has a bunch of friends who did that and he will not be partaking.
