Re: Jok Entering Draft
Caliperi told his whole team, even the walk on's they should all declare and not hire an agent.

Re: Jok Entering Draft
He's more athletic than Monte and can light it up if he gets hot. Obviously, like Monte, he would benefit from showcasing his talents as a senior.
However, it would be hilarious if Iowa lost their entire starting lineup. Let's be honest here, Iowa is going to be bottom 3 or 4 in the B1G with or without him.

Re: Jok Entering Draft
If Fran and Jok don't get along he needs to just get out and make lots of money over seas. That's where he would likely be headed after his senior season anyways. I wouldn't want to play for that hot headed franny either

Re: Jok Entering Draft
Jok's statement on this, sounds like he'll be back at Iowa unless he happens to wow some team.
“I would like to take advantage of the opportunity that is now presented to underclassmen in going through the process of obtaining input from NBA personnel so that I can make an informed decision about my future. For me, this whole process is for experience to see how it all works and then return to work on my game.
“It’s comforting having the support of coach McCaffery and staff. Coach will continue to be a valuable resource for me during this process. If it’s not the right time for me to make the move to the NBA, I’m excited about returning and leading our team next season

Re: Jok Entering Draft
With the new rules, I don't blame any talented player for testing the waters, and getting an NBA evaluation. At the very least, it might tell the player what the NBA thinks they need to work on to improve. Sometimes hearing that from legitimate outside sources can do more to motivate a player than just hearing from the same old coaches again and again.
Plus, none of us know what the relationship between Jok, his coaches, and the other players might be. We also don't know what his financial motivation or family situation might be. There could be lots of reasons for doing this, and with the new rules you can't really get hurt. Probably the worse thing about it is for the coaching staffs and their recruiting. It delays things a bit until they can be certain what is happening.

He's a 7 footer who hustles. He'll get some serious scouting done by a few teams simply for his size. Your statement is incredibly stupid even for a homer towards a rival.

Re: Jok Entering Draft
He's a 7 footer with no athleticism and a 6'9" wingspan. Iowa fans didn't like him so you're crazy if you think an NBA team will. He will either be selling insurance at this time next year or playing in Belgium

No, Monte is clearly more athletic but it was just one poster that said it
