The Iowa Centers remind me of lineman that Wisconsin get year in and year

out and on a consistent basis. That’s meant to be a compliment. They just seem to recruit and get commitments from prototypical OTs and OGs, who have great size, hands and feet. Iowa WBB recruits centers similarly. Not undersized by any means, but not Liz Kitley tall. But they are good with the ball around the basket, physical, can pass and screen well, are great in the pick and roll and can finish through contact. Give me that everyday and twice on Sunday. ** Edited by BackInTheBurg at 4/29/2024, 5:05:42 PM

vatechcowpatty • 04/29/24 12:40 PM ET
It may be *just* a little easier to recruit to TN....
j9hokie • 04/29/24 12:14 PM ET

hollins12 • 04/29/24 12:35 PM ET

j9hokie • 04/29/24 12:46 PM ET
For sure
hollins12 • 04/29/24 01:16 PM ET
Just my personal opinion, but I disagree

The Iowa Centers remind me of lineman that Wisconsin get year in and year ◄
BackInTheBurg • 04/29/24 04:16 PM ET
Oh no, I actually agree with you there
hollins12 • 04/29/24 03:03 PM ET
Maybe I should be more concerned that she doesn’t stress out **
DGHOKIE • 04/29/24 11:42 AM ET
I have faith that we will have a full roster (at least 12 players)
TunstallHokie • 04/29/24 10:31 AM ET
Thank you **
DGHOKIE • 04/29/24 10:35 AM ET

No, just sprinkle unicorn powder **
DGHOKIE • 04/29/24 10:20 AM ET
That is a very, very poor comparison. Not even close.
Stork • 04/29/24 09:34 AM ET
Yes dad. You told us. Don’t have to again **
DGHOKIE • 04/29/24 09:37 AM ET
Yet you post worrying daily...lol**
Hokie83 • 04/29/24 09:42 AM ET
Not daily. Maybe every 3rd or 4th day. But especially after weekends**
DGHOKIE • 04/29/24 10:18 AM ET
Drink something put you to sleep**
MrFantastic! • 04/29/24 10:27 AM ET
WBB is better than MBB and can pursue better players. Give it time**
hokeyhokie • 04/29/24 09:08 AM ET
The message to be patient has fallen on deaf ears. **
Stork • 04/29/24 09:35 AM ET
One man’s patient isn’t necessarily everyone’s patient. I haven’t freaked
DGHOKIE • 04/29/24 12:15 PM ET
Lelia Wells is Marquette recruit, Some say we getting Petersen.**
MrFantastic! • 04/29/24 09:08 AM ET
Good gut feel: Petersen. Gotta be graduating any day now. Maybe news soon.**

MrFantastic! • 04/29/24 09:50 AM ET
Semantics. They are listed as Guards on rosters **
DGHOKIE • 04/29/24 10:22 AM ET
Doubt her recruiting is over.
EDGEMAN • 04/29/24 09:02 AM ET
