Yeah, they will be average, thats it, serviceable. Have you ever watched teams like Missouri or Depaul play? You have no idea what horrible guards look like in college basketball if you think Iowa is going to suck so bad.
I was talking about the four you had listed: Bohannon, Moss, Ellingson, McCaffery. They are all okay, serviceable, average players. Also, all very young.
There's a huge difference between Missouri and Depaul and average. Do you think we have an average front court this year?
Haha those are not average P5 players. Those are bad P5 players unless Connor lights the world on fire. You clearly don't know what average means
We are only talking regular season wins so 21 is not on the bubble either. This doesnt include Big XII tourney games.
Most are still thinking ISU ends up with 21 or 22 wins? It is not mathematically possible to get to 22 regular season wins and getting to 21 would require ISU to win out.
A little below average front court. Our frontcourt issue this year is alot bigger of a problem than Iowa's backcourt will be next year. In fact, you are really the only person Ive ever seen worrying so much about their backcourt being a huge problem next year.
Iowa's backcourt is, at best, average this year. They are losing their leading scorer by far and leading rebounder in Peter Jok, bring in nobody of significance and they are going to remain average next year? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard
If all these players suck so bad and Iowa is so below average in everything, then why are they ahead of like 7 other teams in their own conference? All those teams must have better players than Iowa?
I don't see how that can be a positive of their team. I'd be worried if I were a Hawk fan
Last year 20 win Michigan with all their storied advantage was clearly on the outside looking in before they went on a run in the BIG tourney. sometimes it takes 21 to 22 wins to be comfortably in when you are in the least of the power fives.
You are clearly too dumb to understand a change in strength of schedule. I'm out. We are hoping to be 1 game or a little more better than the bubble. WE are looking a lot like that team. What don't you get.

Yeah, thats what Im saying, just because you lose 1 player doesnt mean the entire team will turn into Missouri level bad next year.
So because our front court isn't average it's Missouri level bad? There's a difference between being the worst in the P5 and being average. I can get on board if you think they won't be the worst but I don't see how you can say they will be average next year unless they add someone of significance. That's absurd
What metric are they ahead of 7 other teams in the conference in? They have the second worst RPI in the conference and are one of the worst KenPom teams too
I'm kinda baffled why you are upset by what Monte said. Is there anyone out there that thinks Iowa is better than Iowa State this year?
Two are freshman, one is a sophomore, and one still in HS.
Bohannon: plays 28.5 mins/pg, averages 9.2 ppg, 4.5 apg, and about a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio. Shoots 36.5% from three and 87.5% from free throw line. That aren't bad stats, they're average, and he's a true freshman.
Moss: plays 17.2 min/pg, averages 7.0 ppg, shoots 37.1% from three, 79.3% from free throw line. Again, average and a freshman.
Ellingson: plays 15.4 min/pg, averages 5.2 ppg, shoots 54.9% from three, 100% from free throw line. Again average player, good to great shooter, a sophomore.
McCaffery: Consensus top 150 player, composite of 112. Never played a college game.
So, pretty average.
