November 23, 200421 yr Iowa with a big upset win over Rick Pitino and Louisville. Alford is still a pathetic recruiter for the potential players he could get, but his roster this year is pretty talented and I think Iowa could make it back to the NCAA tourney and be a surprise dark horse in the Big 10.
November 23, 200421 yr What are you talking about? Aren't you an Illini fan? He's not a pathetic recruiter. He's a better recruiter than Davis was if thats what you're talking about. Peirce is a stud. Bringing in Doug Thomas was big. He's gotten Mr. Basketball in Iowa i don't know how many straight years (Jeff Horner, Carlton Reed). He brought in a good 7 footer from Ohio. There's more talent on this team than any of Tom Davis' recruited teams. Davis just did more with less talent. anyway I like our squad. Horner-Haluska-Peirce are awesome. Hansen is a great shot blocker. Brunner is one tough SOB and Thomas dunks harder than anyone. Nice depth with Thomas, Mike Henderson, Carlton Reed and Alex Thompson off the bench.

Oh, and for the record, I have no problem with Iowa, the only big 10 programs I hate are Wisconsin and Michigan State :lol
November 23, 200421 yr Author :thumbup I sure hope so! 620209[/snapback] Yeah, I know quite a few Iowa fans/alum, good people, and I really love the job Kirk Ferentz has done with the football team.....if anything, I don't like Alford because he's underachieved as coach IMO.
November 23, 200421 yr I don't like Alford because he's underachieved as coach IMO. 620211[/snapback] You're tellin me.. He's walkin on thin ice with Iowa fans but I've mostly supported him. I think he's got a good squad and I think we can finally get back to the tourney this year.. cooling down his hot seat. As for what you said about Ferentz, he is amazing. Such a great guy.. just signed a contract extension the other day! He really does an unbelievable job.
