Anywhere outside the Big Ten.
I think that is especially important for Liam. He is still very raw and has progressed so much every year. Another year with the right coaching and he can improve his draft stock tremendously. It is time for Liam to break away from his family. He needs to look for a team that can develop his style of play. I am not familiar with the good big guy coaches. Isn't coach Thorson good at developing bigs?Every NBA scout i have talked to with will tell you they know that certain college coaches develop players far better than other college coaches. Only a fool thinks that it does not matter who you play for as far as development.
Again, a couple of very good college players that could dominate a game, but do not fit in the NBA. Kinda like Murphy at the U.How does Garza compare to Ethan Happ? I thought given Happ’s college production he’d be a 2nd rounder. Boy was I wrong. Obviously Garza has the 3 point range that Happ didn’t have but they both lay bricks at the FT line.
Liam to ISU?
Anthony Bennett #1 pick, Kwame Brown #1 pick, Nik Stakus #8, Jan Vessly #6, Marvin Bagley
My question would be who has Thorson developed. Being a good coach and having that reputation is nice and all but show me results. Maybe he did well 25 years ago with John Thomas or something but if I’m looking to improve I want a coach that has proven results. Liam should find that for himself. Maybe Ed Conroy is the guy but seems like he may not be alsoI think that is especially important for Liam. He is still very raw and has progressed so much every year.

Does BJ, Thorson or Kemp have any history of developing bigs?
My posts were about Vanderbilt as a destination vs. Iowa. The ship has sailed on him staying at Minnesota so there was no reason to discuss that.
Shut-up, idiot.Well that's concerning. If Liam doesn't feel the new regime can improve his game, what does that say about our chances of getting quality bigs in future classes.
Not much.[...] what does that say about our chances of getting quality bigs in future classes.

I think his leaving has to do more with the fact they let his uncle go, and he’s obviously loyal to his uncle.Well that's concerning. If Liam doesn't feel the new regime can improve his game, what does that say about our chances of getting quality bigs in future classes.
This. Notice the timing of his entering the portal, just before his uncle moved to Vanderbilt, and his choices of potential schools close to family. Hard to blame him. This makes far more sense than Kalscheur, which makes almost zero sense to me.I think his leaving has to do more with the fact they let his uncle go, and he’s obviously loyal to his uncle.
Yep. Unfortunate that Robbins is leaving but not surprising. No point trying to attach some bigger significance to it because there isn't one.It says nothing about the future. Nothing at all.
Official? I saw the Hawkeye Insider gave Vandy a today.Vanderbilt, let’s go!!! It’s really funny Iowa can’t get an Iowa native over Vanderbilt lol
What will Liam do when it is time to move on to the next level....will Conroy have to get a job somewhere in order for Liam to go?....Would hate to see him have to strike out on his own again, how did he ever survive those years at Drake without Uncle Ed by his side?Vanderbilt, let’s go!!! It’s really funny Iowa can’t get an Iowa native over Vanderbilt lol
Bad news is that makes the competition for Rebraka, with Iowa tougher. Overall though, it's good that he is there and not with Iowa.Disappointed to see Robbins leave, but very happy he's headed to Vanderbilt and not Iowa.
Would you want to play for Angry Fran? Endure all that abuse for a 1st or 2nd round exit?Vanderbilt, let’s go!!! It’s really funny Iowa can’t get an Iowa native over Vanderbilt lol
Is the argument that he doesn't want to play on a team full of people he doesn't know? There was no one here he had played with before at all. At this year he'd at least have Gach and Ihnen.Honestly I can't see Johnson sticking around for another year at this point with this much turnover. Besides Ihnen and Gatch there's nobody he played with here and not much reason to come back.
