2024 Offseason

It is so hard to compete in this new era of recruiting. Might a school try a novel approach and do something like skip a year of paying students in order to save up money to pay double the next year?

We're seeing this in CFB. Schools who don't have the resources to complete on an annual basis will wait and load up during their "window" years. Ole Miss the most prominent example of that right now. I'm not sure we have enough of an NIL budget to make much of an impact even trying that approach.

With five pages of posts since I last visited two days ago, I really thought there would at least be a signing in there somewhere.

You just hopped in the wrong thread for that lol

Man this sucks.

I'm fully on board with the adapt or die, but it would have been at least nice to have one more year with the crew. Say what you want but Born was a big part of the UNI basketball brand and had a chance to be the all time leading scorer.

I've been optimistic for as long as possible, but truthfully it's gonna take us a while to transition from how we built programs in the past to how we want to be in the future. Which means we're gonna suck for a couple years.

The silver lining of this will be it's the hardest of ripping of the band-aid, but I'm still unsure where that leaves a couple of those upperclassmen.

Yep, we're screwed. We most likely won't have the money to undo it. Get used to play ins every Thursday Night.

Sounds like Colorado State is the school to watch for Bowen

SLU is where my money is going, but CSU certainly seems like they'd be in play.

We need a big man from the portal. Someone who can dunk like he became mad at the rim!! Go find him Jake.

Moreso we need a rim protector. Someone who makes a guard think twice about driving the lane. But we already have 3 bigs who will play significant minutes next year. All portal pickups will be guards and wings.

Hence, we continue to be slow and unathletic. Who wants us? Our practice court is years away, we're broke, we have terrible Winters, Cedar Falls is boring, we're a suitcase college, our football sucks, and well, you get the point.

Ya but, that win over Kansas....it was only 14 years ago

Sigh...There are times where I just want us to just drop down to the D3 save the money on scholarships and travel costs and have all our sports in that.. What are they? The Twin Rivers Conference and start winning, again. Yeah, play Wartburg in everything.... As is going forward our wrestlers are good. The volleyball is too, but that's about it.
