Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[Brodie0]

Frank was on an Iowa podcast recently and made it sound like if it looks unlikely that there will be a normal basketball season (i.e. some sort of non-conference season, full conference season and NCAA Tournament), Luka will go pro. That’s the right decision IMO.

Newell didn’t have an offer from Iowa - 2 of the 3 major recruiting services show no offer. And you are correct that Goodson did not have an offer from Michigan - Harbaugh met with Goodson in person and asked if he would be interested in Michigan, and Goodson said no. Good effort though.

I bet those major recruiting services show that Brock Purdy had an Alabama offer.

I can see it now “non-committable.”

LOL

Kirk loses sleep over missing on Newell and Downing

I just hope that wherever Luka ends up, that his dad doesn’t go all Lavar Ball on his career.

He’ll probably steal and defraud his own son.

Especially because...well you know....they are white.

If Garza goes pro, Jorbo probably will too...

He needs to start selling insurance ASAP to cover his bar tabs in IC

He can dominate the IC YMCA league too.

I think the tweet must be deleted, what did it say?

Maybe it’s like those double secret offers that the hawkeye players get.

Frank Madoff Garza said not so fast on counting on Luka to return because it's still up in the air if there will be NCAA bball.

I feel like this could bumped a lot for the foreseeable future.

Well Lavar’s has kids in the NBA. So the situation will be pretty different.

You are the bowel of the human gastrointestinal system.

Wow really? With the current state of college athletics I think it's probably the right decision as well. If there's a possibility CBB doesn't happen (which there is at the moment), Luka needs to go get paid in some capacity. Coming back for a season that might not even matter would be counter productive for his career.

It's weird, most everyone thinks Iowa is a B1G title and Final Four contender except ISU fans.

I will link his Big 12 preview when he drops it. What are your thoughts on where ISU is pegged? 8 or 9?

@jmb, as promised and as expected.

If Hinson and Harris don't get waivers, 9th in the Big 12 could be a devastating possibility. Personally I think we'd get 7th, but who knows what these freshman are going to bring to the table nor how good Johnson and JCL are going to play.

Is he asking what we think of someone predicting us as 8/9 in the conference? I would say with the amount of transfers we have that don’t know if they eligible or not,a poor record last year, and the COVID situation killing team time to create cohesion, it is pretty spot on. I think you would have to be an idiot to be surprised. I take it the OP of the article is surprised

Yeah it's not a bad prediction with all of the uncertainty.
