What are the chances we go after Dix

[Cyched]

Dix comes up a little short...

He was in the pool

 

[RonBurgundy]

Dix would absolutely be a take. If he played for anyone but Iowa you would all agree.

Agreed. Doubt he ends up here, but amazing to read such ignorant takes. Dix would be a great addition and I would not say that about any other hok.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Dix is Creighton bound if he ever left

 

[Frak]

Batemon and Mitchell will likely play some and Nojus is also going to be earning some minutes.

If ISU is adding, I would like to see them pick up a bouncy long armed big.

Yeah, I’d take Dix no question. Don’t know if he’d start here, but you can’t turn down a big guard that is a knockdown shooter. That said, I agree on the big. Jefferson is playing himself into a draft pick.

 

[Cychl82]

In the portal after the season. Dude is clearly not having fun playing for Iowa. He is their best player and can knock down the three. I think he has mailed it in at this point. His body language right now is terrible playing for Iowa. Should we go after him when he hits the portal?

0% chance….I would hope

Not sure he’d be a draft pick without improving his outside shot, which I hope he does.

I would love to get our hands on Dix. He can really stroke it when he gets going.

Speak for yourself.......

 

[Lineup]

He plays terrible defense so no chance

 

[BryceC]

I don't see TJ seeking or playing a defensive liability anytime soon. Great shooter though.

We don’t know if he actually sucks at defense or if it’s just Fran

 

[Cyclonepride]

I have yet to see TJ go after a guy who is even questionable in that area.

 

[Die4Cy]

That would be a solid pickup for sure

This would require significant NIL. A lot of suitors involved, I would imagine.

 

[RedDog]

Yeah you would, naughty boy.

It's your fault.

From what I've watched, Dix is a solid player, and pretty good shooter. I wouldn't pass on him, but I wouldn't be heartbroken over not landing him either. Honestly, Fred could really, really use him in Lincoln, they are struggling behind the three point line, badly.

i think JJ is back next year. he can make more in NIL than he will in the G League. but having a more athletic and lengthy big for setting traps would be a good add and something that is lacking on this years roster. jackson cant really trap at all and chatfield isn't much better. they have different strengths to their games.

ya. i hadnt thought about nebby. that is another likely destination for him and closer to home than ames or iowa city.

The bad traps from Jackson and Chatfield have really hurt us at times, allowing the offense a relatively easy pass for a wide open 3. We gave up a bunch of those in the Zona game, but it's been an issue all year. Probably the biggest thing we need to figure out before the dance.

 

[FerShizzle]

That would be a solid pickup for sure

that kid is a lottery pick projection in the 2026 draft. he will have high dollar suitors.

cant blame him for being unhappy playing for a hurley.

 

[CoachHines3]

Don't even @CoachHines3

look how much control ive shown

It’s not a bigger need than replacing Gilbert and Jones though. And it’s much cheaper to fill.

Not an either/or imo. We’ll add an older 3rd big that likely has very modest offensive stats, but can play defense at this level. And spend anything we have left on a guard that can score/shoot
