Probably not. Our starting center on our WBB team is not opting in for the extra Covid year as far as I know. Haven't heard boo about it or her senior guard teammate. Just assuming both are graduating and moving on with their lives. Seems schools mostly announce something only if their seniors are returning. We do know our WBB seniors graduated, they did social media on that but than again all of the gals that stay for four years graduate, all of them.
IMHO the whole extra year thing was a big pre-mature overreaction by the NCAA considering how things actually ended up playing out. All that most basketball players really missed was one NCAA Tournament and a handful of non-conference games. I'd have just kept the "extra" year as an exception for players that maybe missed more than 1/2 their games or elected to opt out of the season (would not penalize a player for opting out).
The only difference is Wieskamp just finished his junior season. He would have the option to come back without the Covid year being offered.
Personally I'm okay with the extra year, simply because the athletes had to sacrifice a lot this past season to stay safe and keep the seasons going. There had to be some sort of mechanism to reward them, and that was the one the NCAA had the power to do. Which is also why it's an opportune time to push through
NIL and such.
Ha, my bad. After Jess Settles I just assume Iowa players all play like six or seven years.
Not very. Creighton could get him if they wanted but they don't seem interested
Aka Chad L. will tell us he's a 5 star player but no one knows it yet.
Yes. But it is nice to see a coach that isn't afraid to do what the player wants to do even if it isn't "dignified". Players want a coach who isn't afraid to relate to them and he has that down.
Fran relates to his players doesn’t he? He seems like a cool dude...
