Someone arrested on that link had the last name "Kongroar". What a friggin great surname. Should be a linebacker or something.
Cam, dude, I hope that you can get it together.
It's strange that he came back to Iowa. I'd think he'd head to TX or Louisiana.
EDIT: It turns out Kongroar is a woman. Probably statistically less likely to make it as a linebacker.

They let dudes run women's track, may as well let a woman run with the LBs.
My notes show that he played two games with the Lakeland Magic (Orlando's G-League) around the change of the year before going to the Dominican Republic's CPN in the Santiago League where he averaged 14 points per game in his 15 game appearances.
He's also had five double doubles and a peak scoring output of 26 points (11-14 from the field) against Plaza on February 19th.
The butthurt runs deep when fans don't agree with a players decision to move on. Wiggs was a fantastic player. Wish he would have come back. The team lacked a true scorer. He would have been that.
What a preposterous set of strawmen.
I do not think any of us resent a young man getting himself paid as soon as they can when there could be millions of dollars on the line for them. I cannot remember anybody complaining that Royce White or Tyrese Haliburton left/are leaving to be first-round picks, and I do not remember anybody complaining that Horton-Tucker left early even though his draft fate was less certain than either of the former two guys.
Nobody resents Wigginton leaving early if that is what he thought was best for himself. There is/was a legitimate debate if it was the optimal decision. Staying another year could have given him a chance to be the focus of the offense without Marial Shayok around, and he could have possibly had a great season and blown up on draft radars like Carsen Edwards of Purdue did (who eventually became a first-round pick).
Then again, maybe that does not happen, and Wigginton just becomes a year older and less attractive doing it, so maybe it was best to just go now, get into the D-League, and hope he can start grinding his way to the NBA, start collecting a paycheck, or maybe head to Europe and start getting paid that way. Discussing which plan was the best is not hating on Wigginton for leaving. It is just the armchair stuff we do.
Speculating if an obviously difficult and life-defining decision for him was the right one or not and musing what his return for another season might have meant for the program as a fan is not somehow resentful he took the latter/the money now.
Very good, yes, but "fantastic" is a little strong for the fourth-best guard on his team his sophomore year. Good player, yes, but his legend has been slightly inflated as a cudgel against Prohm for "misusing" and "mishandling" him, even though his numbers and subpar defense made "bench gunner" the perfect role for him.
He just never bought into that like Naz and McThree did.
Rasir Bolton says hello.
Nonetheless, I would have loved to have had Wigginton or Horton-Tucker back last season. Either one of them totally changes the outlook.
Alas, Lindell is in Des Moines (well, Ness Ziona now) and not Ames. I think we all hope he fulfills his NBA dreams someday and somehow.

My notes (from WRNL) do indeed show he played with Club Pueblo Nuevo. Here's a picture.
What's he in for?
Wonder what he was doing to be booked past 1:00am.
What'd he do, bet on ISU?
I mean, he was probably on probation in connection to his 2020 rioting arrest, if I had to guess.
I've always wondered who is watching for this stuff 24/7?
