Re: Barz

this is speculation, but is it possible the rumor that was relayed on des moines radio was in fact referring to Barz, not Eglseder?

Re: Barz

for what it's worth...I saw Barz at the game yesterday walking up on the concourse. Strange that he wasn't by the bench. Maybe he has the flu and doesn't want to get the rest of the team sick

Wouldn't he be in the care of the trainers at that point?

Trainers don't take care of colds/flu/illness. They send the guys to a physician or other provider.

Re: Barz

To an extent... it's slightly irresponsible to post rumors that could have a profound effect on a person's career, especially when absolutely nothing has been said either way yet. In other words, speculating AFTER something has been announced is acceptable, putting something out as potential fact and saying "I heard it from a source" is not. If it were true, why wouldn't you feel comfortable being more specific than "I heard it from a source?" It's hazardous, and if you were a journalist, you could get in serious trouble for it.

If this i direct to me, I just want to point it out that I dont really believe it to be true. I stated that it was just a rumor and I said take it for what its worth and pointed out I wouldnt believe it until I saw it in the paper. Personally, I heard it from a friend, and I dont fully believe it to be true, just a possibility.

Re: Barz

Unfortunately those 'rumors' are running rampant and are being discussed by people who generally know some inside details about the program. I hope this is not true in any way but it sure seems odd the way things have come about. Let's all hope for the best here.

Barz is no longer with the team for personal reasons. The part about him dropping out of school is not true, he still attends classes.

Bank it.

Re: Barz

I don't know many coaches that allow a kid to quit the team mid-season and then come back the next year.

What if the coach allowed him to leave the team for the rest of the season. If it is personal reasons, that could maybe the case.

However I do agree with your statment

Re: Barz

Re: Barz

He won't be back with the team next year.

Re: Barz

pretty odd that two of the best big men in iowa both decided to leave their programs

Re: Barz

That's going to hurt us next year. We won't be very deep in the post. Maybe next year people can chalk this up as one of Jake's excuses, unexpectantly losing Barz. I kid, I kid . . . sort of
