Iowa MBB Suspending Workouts

What? The EIU athletic department not handing a situation as well as other schools are?

JK These are the the times we live in. At least the discovered the players had the virus and addressed it so the players can recover and not spread it further.

I know you were joking, and I like to bag on Iowa at least as much as the next guy, but it sounds like they are doing the right thing. The sad fact is most teams will probably have to go through this at some point this fall. It's a tough situation.
 
I thought Lurch has said he was coming back. That's changed now depending on how he does at the combine?
Garza has to decide whether or not he's leaving for the NBA by August 2nd I believe. Last time I heard, it was 50/50 on him staying or leaving.

I just don't know you can commit to coming back if there's any risk of not having a season. I suppose if it becomes apparent they wont play there may still be a European opportunity he can take..?

August 3rd is the NCAA deadline to return and remain eligible for college.

Interestingly though, August 17th is the NBA deadline. So you could see guys "return to school" on August 3rd, and then declare for the draft (for good) on August 17th.

Difficult decision. You also have to factor in the fact that Luka will most likely play AT LEAST half a season without any fans in Carver (hold the jokes please). There's also the question of whether the non-conference is played, whether the season starts on time, the risk of catching COVID and being out 2 weeks, etc.

Thank you for that info!
