Isn't his brother going to Wisconsin? Don't see him as a high major player

Ellington always had solid games against us...
he faced Bradley 5 times and averaged 10.5 ppg & 7 rebs

It seems that Missouri State's players are not big on joining the CUSA.

Elijah Elliott was the high scoring guard who transferred in to SIU a year ago from Texas-Rio Grande Valley. he was expected to be a key part of last year's team. He was averaging 16.5 ppg through their first 4 games, then tore his ACL in their 5th game, and missed the rest of the season.
Players who return from ACL surgery usually are not ready to contribute right away at the same level as before their injury, so it seems unlikely he'll get as much interest in the portal as he would have if he hadn't been injured.

Should we go ahead and add Bennett Stirtz, Cam Manyawu, Cael Combs, Tavion Banks & Isaia Howard?

Drake's Cael Combs commits to Iowa, following his coach

Now a 9th Missouri State player enters the transfer portal, Sam Murray - https://x.com/VerbalCommits/status/1907484403913158867

Only two scholarship players from their 2024-25 roster remain, 6'4" junior starting center Michael Osei-Bonsu (11.0 ppg, 7.4 rpg) and freshman guard Zaxton King (8.9 ppg, 2.8 rpg). There are still 20 days left before the portal closes.

Iowa more then likely will not be any better unless he can find much better players then what I have seen so far in his recruiting.

Now another of the main Drake guys, Cam Manyawu, transfers to Iowa
Who was it that said they wouldn’t?

Iowa more then likely will not be any better unless he can find much better players then what I have seen so far in his recruiting.

Iowa will be near the bottom of the BIG10 standings for the foreseeable future. They have the lowest NIL collective in the conference and are primarily a football school. Doesn't help that when Fran had an all american player a few years ago he couldn't even make a S16...

[Da Coach]

Going out on a limb... I'll predict that 6'8" post player Cam Manyawu will not be as effective in the Big Ten.
