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

[Revolver]

Let’s get McKeever, Evans, and Coleman and call it a day.

 

[CurdMan]

I also don't think McCollum was exactly blown away last season by the two transfers whom he had never coached: Folgers and Hausen

He had transfers whom he had never coached playing for him at Drake

 

[CurdMan]

Let’s get McKeever, Evans, and Coleman and call it a day.

Coleman could be a steal. I also like this approach as it keeps the sell to the 2027 point guards they’re in on strong

 

[BBK]

He had transfers whom he had never coached playing for him at Drake

Right, but he didn't have to pay them a shitload of money to be mediocre

[Whatever]

Maybe we should list the schools that aren’t interested.

[hawkeyealum]

I’d like some Iowa Hawkeyes commits. I feel like Mr. Shirley

 

[BBK]

I'm fine with none

 

[CleteyColgate]

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Good news, Wade is making it his mission to make sure every Iowa fan knows that he thinks Peyton McCollum is terrible. And hypothetically if we had to cut walk-ons (which won’t happen), it would be a massive mistake to cut Jacob Koch instead of him.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

It’s the opinion of the cul-de-sac.

Yea, but those posts are worth dealing with so we can get inside/yokel info that AJ Green is building a home in the Cedar Falls area.

I need to review the tape before I can properly advise our Elite 8 coach

Yes, I hate it when concerns and predictions of mine end up being exactly true.

It’s a problem and guess what? It’s going to get worse.

 

[Mysterio]

i want to ignore but then i no i will be lost half of the time with people replying to his posts

D Tard is Iowa’s next coach!

 

[L. Wade Childress]

This is really fucking retarded. It should be possible to enjoy our current coach and past season while discussing things that he may have to develop as he moves up in competition. It happens to every coach, they need to learn the league and how to manage a team at the higher level.

Nearly everyone on the board recognized it as a problem with McCaffrey and now you’re just ignoring it. It was used against us in recruiting.

now, we play slow, run a highly disciplined program, and don’t have a ton of money. We already aren’t the best choice for a lot of kids. So hey, let’s compound it by giving an opposing agents and coaches ammo to use against us at the most important position in our offense!

It could be worse. We could have had D Rock as our head coach.

This is so stupid in the context of what McCollum wants out of his program that it is really pointless to even respond.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

This is so stupid

This is all you had to say

 

[jbincr]

So the L Wade account on TOS is the same as here?

I figured that one was just a troll. Oh, wait a minute…

How to write 3 paragraphs and not really say anything

It’s impressive

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Sounds like Evans is trying to drive the price up and Iowa is calling his bluff.

Fuck him.

I'd rather have Coleman

Fuck him.

Yeah

Yeah

You sassing me, boy?

Have you always been such a tremendous pussy?

 

[douglasbader]

Sounds like Evans is trying to drive the price up and Iowa is calling his bluff.

Iowa should be offering him about $20 total.

 

[6deuce]

Have you always been such a tremendous pussy?

Yes

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Yes

 

[CleteyColgate]

Iowa should be offering him about $20 total.

He's not a $1M player based on anything he's shown in his career. We can do better if that's the expectation.

 

[BBK]

Iowa should be offering him about $20 total.

Agreed. He's a below average 3 point shooter who is about to be playing for his 3rd team. And we would only have him for a year.

Hard pass

I want a one year rental this upcoming season. The. We need a really good high school or prep PG that buys in and sticks around. There’s some good options in the 2027 class.

Coleman's on campus and canceled a visit to another school pursuing him

 

[AZmessDAWG]

From someone that knows abt worthless posts, the hinting posts are right up there with the worst.

 

[Wanderer]

Let’s get McKeever, Evans, and Coleman and call it a day.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Coleman could be a long term guy and exactly what Iowa should want. I know hard to count on someone as a long-term addition with the portal, but I think that's Ben's thinking. Would love him as an addition.

He was a little feast or famine (like Alvaro) this year but was a freshman so that's not a shock.
