Doesn't it get old repeating the same thing over and over or iowa fans just not that smart so that's all they have to say. You and The bear just repeat yourself on every post.
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

Michigan too. If Livers comes back they're going to be pretty good. But yeah Iowa will be up there in the preseason that's for sure. And I wouldn't count on Illinois not being good because Ayo doesn't come back. They're going to be pretty salty regardless.
Honestly an eligible Harris, JCL and Smith is probably a better team than you want
I think Griffin is a big loss for Illinois, I liked his game.
I think Illinois and Michigan will be in the second tier. Michigan was hit with some bad luck recruiting this spring when Christopher chose ASU and Todd opted for the G League.
They got Chaundee Brown, Nojel Eastern and Mike Smith.
Brown and Eastern are most likely going to have to sit out next season.
I would count on a lot of transfers being able to play this year right away due to everything that happened at the end of last year and that's still happening.
I could see that if guys are either leaving Covid hot spots or trying to get closer to home.
Virginia and Indiana dont seem like hot spots and Brown is from Orlando and Eastern is from Evanston, IL.
Eastern is actually going to a state that has had a lot of cases in Michigan.
If they made the NCAA trounament that would be true. Yet you aren't the best judge of this at this time of year. You said that team Prohm assembled last year was a NCAA team and way better than Iowa. In reality that was a garage ISU team, maybe one of the worst historical teams ever for ISU.
Yes, that would certainly be a reason, however in light of the fact that the season got cut short due to a pandemic, still being in the midst of a pandemic, and the NCAA going to pass a new transfer rule next year where guys won't have to sit out, I can see the NCAA being extremely lenient to a lot of guys if they have a decent reason as to why they left.
We're just going to have to wait and see whether Smith ends up a Cyclone, but adding him JCL and Harris, with our incoming freshman class and returning guys makes a way better team than what we ended up having last year.
Oh man starters something like Harris, Bolton, JCL, Smith and Young with Foster, Johnson and Jackson and Conditt off the bench?

Obviously adding JCL and Harris (if he is eligible) will help. Adding Smith would help yet again. The question is will that be enough? It isn't like ISU was some bubble team who was close last year. Add on top of that they lose their best player and I wonder if it is still enough. I guess we will see this fall (well hopefully anyway).
Yeah I think Jackson, Bolton, Solomon, and Conditt were some of the only bright spots last year (Conditt struggled the back half of the year), and we got to see those guys learn how to play without Tyrese for 1/3 of the year. So when you add talent like those three transfers and have 2 out of the 4 freshman contribute, you have a team that looks like it should be able to make the tournament.
We'll see how things go though.
Do you plan on going bald next season? That back court would have me pulling my hair out.
Those three guys combined have almost 70 more career turnovers than assists.
I mean I'd rather have any of those 3 over Connor and his 3 assists per game lol
Connor starts at the 4 spot for Iowa and he had 124 assists last season. Those 3 combined only had 146.
Iowa's starting back court next season will be Bohannon, Fredrick and Wieskamp.
