So he got 2 visits to Iowa and is still working on getting a Drake visit. Fran wants him, but Drake isn't sure yet? I know Fran is bad at recruiting, but when did recruits start treating Drake as a better destination than a P5 school?
DD worked wonders with that team last year. I hope Drake can hang onto him because it seems like he wants to be there. Once the recruits know he wants to be there, he could make that a nice program.

I just listened to Hines' podcast, and it sounds like Wigginton almost transferred instead of staying in the NBA draft. Wouldn't it have been crazy if both he and Moss hit the transfer market? Those are two pretty talented guys. I'm glad he stayed in the draft though...it would have sucked watching him tear it up somewhere else. Hawk fans will get to see Moss chase a championship, which would suck.

I'll have to listen to it. I cant believe Wigs would want to lose a year.
Also, I dont trust Hines on all of his stuff.

Hines did admit that he was connecting some dots and he never heard it directly from Lindell, but there was something to it. I know that this is a Hawkeye thread and I don't want to ruin that, but another interesting nugget is that Tre Jackson is turning heads and will be the surprise of this class. It's worth a listen, minus a 30 second coughing fit by Hines partway through.

Travis has come a long way, the first probably 10 of his podcasts were littered with gross wet mouth sounds.

Born would be a good get for EIU. He could spend an apprentice year with Connor and JorBo to learn what it takes to be B1G elite. :D

(Actually, I hope he does't step into that mess.)

lol...

"Unlike many schools, Iowa State and the entire SEC for example, the U culture at Iowa does not allow the staff to gamble on marginal kids that are superior players."

My favorite is post # 20. Cuz he’s not racist or anything.
