Blue & Gold Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 He's listed as a combo guard so maybe takes the baton after Cheese graduates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Let's be honest here. A kid who was recruited to a Big 10 school generally has the talent to succeed in the MAC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention he's 4" too short by your standards. SEND HIM TO DIII WHERE HE BELONGS! In all seriousness, the kid is coming from one of the most disciplined programs in the country. At the very least, he's going to be fundamentally sound, with big game experience. I like it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreed5120 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Personally, I'm not a big fan of the sit one year to play one year players. I'd much rather get a grad transfer who can play right away or a player with multiple years of eligibility left. That being said, I think he should be a productive player in the MAC. He has good size and athleticism. From what I read he's a defensive specialist. I would expect his offensive numbers to improve some playing against MAC competition instead of B10. How much they will improve is to be seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I look at these one-and-done's like assistant coach/players, especially when they're coming from disciplined, top-flight programs such as Iowa. When we have as many roster openings as we're going to have in 2 seasons, we're gonna need a guy like Dailey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Zip Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 It looks like he's able to finish at the rim with either hand which is always encouraging. But Groce found himself another lefty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve1982 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Local kid, had a couple of big games (Colorado, Michigan State). Played in 33 and 35 games the last two seasons. I'll take him. Being a Hawkeye fan I know he was buried behind a senior and a sophomore (coaches son) last two years. Iowa also has a couple of redshirts coming back next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewbrooman1 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 It's hard to keep track of the transfer rules these days. Does him having to sit a year mean Iowa didn't release him? Seems some guys get to play right away. Local kid coming home. Fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981 grad Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I am not big on another transfer coming to the school for just one season. Groce has a revolving door of players. This year we had 2 scholarships that were wasted on transfers, Hester and the guy that punched out Klac. ( I cannot remember his name) I would much rather Groce try to build a team with frosh. He has 3 years left to prove that he can build a winning program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I agree 100%. Two wasted years and still only two D1 players, one of whom is good but his nickname is "shorty". I will forfeit next year if he would dump what we have and recruit some freshmen with room to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dailey was good enough to be a consistent rotation player at Iowa, but he isn't a D1 caliber player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'm cool with this, albeit not overly excited. I'm hoping for more news today on either another high school senior signee or a player who can help us on the court next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
