Payne out at Iowa

There is a bigger shocker than this about to be released regarding a former Hawkeye.
 
He only played in 5 games last year, he was a non factor that was replaced last season, after he was injured. He saw the writing on the wall.

It's believed that he was playing hurt for those first 5 games, which limited his effectiveness. Is he better than Cartwright? No, but he would have been a dependable backup.

As for Tucker, Hoiberg really should take a pass on that one. Tucker has demonstrated time and again that he can't stay out of trouble. He'd rather party it up than take basketball seriously. If ever there were a transfer that was guaranteed to backfire on Fred, it would be Anthony Tucker.
 
Why would you even want Tucker? A standstill set shooter that cant guard anybody
 
Cully Payne hasn't developed much since middle school! He committed to DePaul as a 10th grader I believe and following his 11th grade year both sides agreed he was not a Big East style player. That is saying a lot...if you can't play at DePaul right now...yikes!

He may not be better than Cartwright but he ain't worse. He's a better shooter and doesn't turn the ball over as much. Plus I think he is just as good of a defender. Cully's numbers in a slow offense as a freshmen are not that far off from Cartwrights as a Junior in an uptempo

That's not true. He committed to Alabama after he decommited from DePaul so it had nothing to do with his talent.

Let's see if we can come up with reasons.
He's a moron and not a good player at all, other than that he'd be a great get.
 
Cully ain't bad and it doesn't help them for next year, but if they get Pierre Jackson or Eli Carter they honestly probably won't miss a beat.
 
I have a feeling Payne felt his role on the team was going to be strictly back up duty.
