Illinois fans would rage if another coach left them for a Big 12 school again.

Sec school now so I could see him bolting since it’s Sec

If BU goes to UT could McCollum be more interested in Illinois than Iowa?

Saw that Underwood is in consideration for the Texas job. 

I’ll believe that one when I see it.

I figured McCasland would go Texas. No?

Texas Tech has deep NIL pockets. Could be he is happy there and can get the resources needed to compete.

Regardless of whether either AD might have gotten their 2nd choice regarding the 2, and I seriously doubt that, both DeVries and McCollum clearly got their 1st choice.

Perfect location for him. I think it was the plan for a long while. Can win at a solid level with limited NIL. Let’s see how that holds up at the next level. See how many Iowa guys he can retain. Freeman is gone I think, but the others?

Gonna be a torn in our side for the next 20+ years.  Hopefully their limited NIL holds him back some.

Also need to see how he does with players that haven’t been in his system for multiple years.

For Iowa? He’s an incredible get.

That’s our hope. Dusty May only gaining momentum. We need to seize some momentum ourselves.

Luckily for us, the conference is getting so big that there's a better chance we'll only face him once a year now.

Personally, I think most/all that hit the portal are gone.  They don't seem to be a fit for the system -- with Fran it was push pace, shoot threes, not play a lick of defense.

[BGleas 8,955]

Can we throw a bag at Bennett Stirtz and steal him from McCollum?
