Congrats on being the first person to mention Iowa in this thread! There always has to be someone.
That being said, without Marble I don't see them anywhere in the top 40. NIT runner-up again would be hilarious!

There was discussion so I was hoping to get a little money out of it. It only takes 1 sucker. :smile:
Will we be ranked to start the year? We are high on Ejim and Kane's replacements but outsiders may see them as a mediocre MAC transfer and a malcontent.
But we return Georges Niang and Monte Morris. That's a Wooden Award watch list guy and potential first team All-American along with the NCAA record holder for assist-to-turnover ratio. We'll be ranked somewhere in the mid to late teens. Most media outlets are all aboard the Hoiberg Hype Train these days.
Yes, we will be ranked. Have you seen all of those articles by the writers talking about how badly they want to blow Niang? Fred has established as much credibility in our program as Tony Bennett has with UVA.
The college ball experts know that BDJ is going to help fill the void that Kane leaves and how good of a player Monte really is.

Umm, and Hogue. What he did against UCONN may have been the single best Cyclone performance last year.
Why, because it's absurd that they might sneak into the tail end of the rankings? I get the ISU/Iowa rivalry but be realistic. They will get votes in the preseason polls, maybe enough to get them into the Top 25. It would be trolling if I put them 12th and put ISU at 22. Just blindly calling me a troll is old and played out and boring.
You're a ******* ****** if you think Iowa should be in the top 25 preseason poll.
I agree. I didn't want to go into too much detail because I could go on and on about this team. I just thought my point would be made by listing only Niang and Morris.
