A friend of mine who lives next door to the parents of one of the kids who lives next door to the bus driver for the shockers said that his cousin called to tell him that Greg Marshall was seen buying an Iowa Press Citizen and swore he was looking at the real estate section.

Repel the Rebels !!!!!!!!!!

Is Iowa going to be losing any recruits or have any transfers now?

[Trapped in California]

Re: Lickliter Out at Iowa???

Probably losing one walk on - little Lick. Other than that, I would be expecting that they will likely wait until the new coach is named.

Bruce Pearl will be a candidate given his ties to the program under Tom Davis. Since I'm a Kentucky fan along with UNI, I don't care for Pearl but he has the type of personality that could put people in the seats there. Though hopefully he wouldn't recruit the same type of thugs that Tennessee has now.

I think the new Memphis coach makes around $600K/year. He can recruit and would be scary good for them.

I keep seeing Pearl's name tossed around. Why would Pearl leave Teneesee to move to Iowa? Just because he worked with Tom Davis? Gary Williams @ Maryland was also a Tom Davis assistant. So what?

Pearl has a great setup in TN (other than the current batch of problems).

Re: Lickliter Out at Iowa???

According to Iowa "fans", they can hire ANYONE they want. They have an infinate amount of $$ to spend and could get ANY coach in the country with the $$ they have.

Pearl is not leaving Tennesse for Iowa.

Their options are to go for a mid-major. Not likely given Lick and Mac's lack of success.

Otherwise they look for a name assistant coach. This is the route I'd expect them to go. Possibly even poaching from Michigan State's staff.

kruger had zero interest in the iowa job last time. he was their first call.

iowa can spend as much as they want on a coach. pearl isnt out of the question, but i dont think there is anyway it will happen. i heard a very interesting name today that would make me ecstatic as an iowa fan.

Re: Lickliter Out at Iowa???

Pearl had zero interest last time too, are you sure he wasn't the first call? I don't see anything that has changed in the last 3 years that would make the job more attractive to him, just the opposite. Iowa would have to offer him $3.5-4 million to make him consider based purely on money, and they are not going to pay that much. My guess is he gets another nice raise out of the deal though.

Re: Lickliter Out at Iowa???

not only did pearl have some interest in iowa last time, but iowa's administration never considered him. it was window dressing to appease the fans. you are correct about him bleeding UT for more cash though.
