Iowa focusing on retention and fit makes it harder to see where the money goes.
Milan Momcilovic tweets "entering NBA draft and portal"

Not exactly true. ISU was going to pay him. Not as much as he could get at a blue blood, but at least competitive. What they couldn’t do is hold that money through May for a player that might stay in the draft. They needed to spend their funds on guys who were going to be here, not bank it just in case. So, if Milan pulls out of the draft in a month, the money earmarked for him will be gone. That’s why he entered the portal. It’s a backup plan in case the draft doesn’t work out.
In our last three NCAA losses, 89 minutes, 12 points total on 4-25 from the field, 3-16 from 3, 6 rebounds, 1-2 from the line.
I wish him all the best.

I just don't agree with this. Yes, defense is our identity, but offense is just as important in basketball. If we are ignoring offense, our staff is doing the program a disservice. They aren't. He averaged 17 last season. He very well could've averaged 20 next season. Acting like he just isn't a fit anymore is pure copium and a misunderstanding of the program in my opinion.

Brent talked about this and it was expected. Not sure if we'll have the money for him at that point, but it's part of the process in this type of situation.
Prather was the 30th most efficient offensive player in the country last season, according to KenPom.
In the Horizon league. Shooting 44% from the field and 36% from 3 doesn’t excite me.
People said the same thing when Curtis Jones transferred from Buffalo. Look how that turned out.

It might work out. It might not.
Either way, by this point I'd say Otz has earned our trust.
I'm overwhelmed by the portal class. I would expect Johnson & Singleton to start. And maybe Bond as well.
I like Manning because he played 20mpg at K-State and is a solid rebounder and athlete.
Posters keep saying Singleton is the next Jefferson, but he looks like a better ball handler and quicker. So I expect we'll see a big lineup with Manning & Singleton playing together.
Disappointed but pretty much expected. Interesting to see if TJ goes whale hunting or we try to fill the void via the aggregate.
Pleeeaz go to the NBA. Coudn't stand to see Momcilovic playing at some dirty SEC school. We couldn't welcome him back to Hilton, and he'd forever be a Gator or a Wildcat or something puke-inducing.
Agree. Now that they have moved on from Milan, I wouldn't mind going for a 4 now, and have Singleton at the 3.
Milan was always gonna take all the 3 minutes, but I think Singleton at the 4 could hurt against big teams. I definitely think Singleton can grow into the 4 though, just like Jefferson.
