Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

So who would be the other 4?
Assuming we get a good grad transfer, I could see this being the starting 5, however it's all speculation.
1. Bolton
2. Grad Transfer
3. Johnson / Blackwell
4. Solo
5. Conditt

Bench: Jackson, Grill, Foster, Dubar, Walker, Lewis, Griffin

I assume the grad transfer or immediate eligible transfer we're going to go after is a high volume scorer and will be given the keys right away. That would be the perfect scenario for next years team.
 
That's assuming we land an immediate eligible transfer similar to Bolton. Granted I've only seen Johnson practice a couple times but people are sleeping on him too

Would need to land a transfer that is better than Bolton. More similar to White, Kane or Shayok.

It doesnt seem like a great idea to have Bolton be the starting PG. Wouldnt he fit better off the ball?
 
He doesnt. But there are literally no facts in his favor for ISU being on the same level as Iowa in any important sport in the present or near future so he has to make up nonsense.
Except for the fact that the last 3 football games have been decided in the last 5 minutes or later and Iowa State has a good recruiting class coming in next year for basketball while Iowa does not.

So, although Iowa has ended up winning the close football games over the past 3 seasons, CMC is putting his teams into very good situations to beat Iowa and sooner or later it's going to happen. Also, even though Iowa will most likely be good again next year, the 2020 class looks to be very bad and could cause a tremendous dip for the year after next.

Yeah I think the 1-2 spot could go to either Bolton or whoever we bring in. Bolton probably plays better at the 2 spot but is a true combo guard who can run the offense if need be. We'll see how everything plays out though.
