Former Iowa Big Man Owen Freeman is headed west to Omaha. Creighton got a good one.

Also Drake Guard Bennett Stirtz will be following his HC McCollum once again. This time to Iowa City! Talking about him as a borderline 1st rounder! Nice to see the former D2 baller with some draft buzz!

Another Hawkeye with a new home. Harding is a 6ft pg that averaged 8.8 and 5.5apg. HS teammate of Owen Freeman.

Good hire for Iowa. I expect McCollum to have success while maintaining the good demographics. Bit disappointed that Freeman left, but Creighton is equally good with an easier path to the NCAA tournament every year.
