UNI MBB offseason thread

[BCPanther]

We've got a certain assistant coach's son that could easily come off scholarship if need.be....

[95UNIGRAD]

Team defensive player of the year before being out with an injury redshirt. Yes, please.

[Wxcpanther]

9.8 points, 2.4 boards 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals, and 2 made 3s per game a couple years ago 🤞🤞🤞

I know we don't have a scholarship available for next year, but I thought this was interesting...

Western Michigan transfer Bryce Moore tells me that schools that have reached out include Stanford, Missouri, Bradley, Northwestern, Northern Iowa, Butler, IPFW, Chattanooga, Creighton, Oregon State, Nevada, Northern Kentucky, Rice, Loyola, Florida Atlantic and Montana

It's always possible that someone transfers out

[95UNIGRAD]

He's from Indianapolis, so I would assume he wants to be closer to home (Butler, IPFW), but who knows? Might as well take a shot.

[MNpanthers]

Maishe Dailey is leaving Iowa. I don't know that we'd want him and still obviously don't have an open scholarship, but worth mentioning since UNI was close to getting him before

[BCPanther]

Hard Pass.

Hard Pass.

Why? He saw some meaningful minutes for a decent B1G team that had a logjam of depth.

I've heard he's a good kid too. He would definitely do alot better playing at the mid major level, especially offensively. He's got good length and did well on D for his limited role. Still not saying we need him, but "hard pass" is a bit ridiculous.

I think it has more to do with BC hating anyone who was associated with Fran

[CyCarp]

Maybe I'm wrong, but seems to me like a kid who doesn't want to commit to one program. He committed to Rutgers at one point, ended at Iowa, now leaving. Did he commit somewhere before Rutgers too?

He seemed like a likely UNI commit in 2016, but opted instead to take a development year to garner P5 interest. Committed and decommitted to Rutgers in 2017 before landing at Iowa. He played a pretty limited role this year and it would likely get even smaller next year.

He does seem flaky but I think alot of players would transfer in his situation

I disagree with the “we don’t need him” thinking. This is a team that has had three disappointing years, with some, if not most of that due to the makeup of the roster. This year ended on a decent trend, and there’s reason for some optimism. BUT, that doesn’t mask the need for more length and athleticism. It’s not that we don’t need players with this profile, it’s more of a scholorship situation.

Fran-stained bias for me. Probably not fair to the kid. Apologies.

I agree and we do lose two guards after this season, Brown and Halderman, so it would help fill that gap. The kid has more of reputation as a defender and is basically a similar sized guard to Brown.

I've read that there's an excellent chance he gets a waiver to play this year because of the Dolph stuff so we'd be looking at him for 2019-20.
