I’d say there is a better chance Cook is back. All Wigginton needs to get drafted is a strong final month of the season, at which point the perceived struggles will be attributed to coming off an injury and being a team player.
I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

I think the biggest knock I would have on Fran if I was an Iowa fan is not the recruiting, subbing, etc., but rather that no one seems to get better. All of his players seem to regress on a year-to-year basis. Who on that roster now can you look at and say has made a significant jump in terms of their ability? Maybe Moss? Garza is playing well but doing what he's always done. I just can't remember anyone in the last 5 or so years who really progressed from their freshman to senior year. Maybe Jok?
Haven't read their comments, but I was thinking this myself actually. I've only seen 2 games and caught either highlights or updates on here with how the hawks have been doing. But yesterday they seemed so much more cohesive while Cook and JorBo were on the bench. the Hawks played some of their best, most consistent basketball of the season when Cook was out. He is the best basketball player on their team, but not sure he makes their team better.
Interesting to speculate on these two player scenarios. I'm just an amateur, but don't think either are a def top 60 NBA draft - at this point. Still some time to get scouts attention. It wouldn't surprise me to see Cook return; I think Wiggs is gone.
Wigginton being around for another year would be surprising.
Although he's not exactly having a monster year but that could change.
Just not sure where he fits in the NBA game.
Home teams in conference play in the big 10 win 59% of the time, which is 18th out of the 32 conferences. Big 12 is 65%, ranked 10th.
If I were a Hawk fan I'd book a room for Tuesday March 19, in Dayton. And soon !!!
Iowa caught a break Saturday when Nebraska’s Copeland went down with a season ending ACL They had been decent at home, but Ne doesn’t have the depth to replace him. The last game now changes from a probable Nebraska win to an Iowa win.
I wonder how many points Garza has to score to be a net positive for how much he gives up on the other end
It's still a road game. The Hawks have only won 3 times on the road in the Big 10 this season and last.
If you want to know the true state of Iowa basketball, consider this. Riley Till has played in four straight games in the heart of the conference schedule.
That's Riley Till on the right. Actually, he looks more like a basketball player than starting point guard Jorbo.

LW isn’t getting drafted by the NBA this year..ain’t happening. His injury truly hurt..but what hurts even more is his play. He needed to show improvement this year not regression..
Cook is gone..he ain’t returning to Iowa for his Sr year.
