Any Iowa fans/residents hearing anything about Uthoff requesting release from Wisconsin?

Seems to be some pretty strong rumors. It wouldn't make sense for him to go to another B1G school, but certainly would suck for Wisconsin. He and Dekker were going to be a really nice 3/4 combo for the next 4 years.

At least Bo is being classy about it.

Seems a bit harsh, but rumors are that Iowa State possibly got in his ear. If he really "wanted to be closer to home", that's the only school that he should be upset about. B1G regulations would make it tough to transfer to Herk.

He was Bo's top recruit last year, Bo invested time, scholarship, and practice/teachings. I try to consider it like a non-compete in business, or when businesses pay for someone's MBA but require them to stay with them for at least 2 years following. I understand the kid is only 19, but he made a decision and there are consequences.

Well, that's one way to get to be a head coach in a year.

I like it, not a bad guy to learn under.

I didn't have a problem with the no Iowa St., but where Bo went wrong was blacklisting the entire ACC. That's just an [expletive] move.

It's just like a non-compete, if that non-compete applied to every decent company in the entire midwest (and east coast).

bukie · April 17, 2012

Also, on an amusing note (to me), that makes the last four Illinois head coaches (if Jerrance counts for the interim period) currently coaching four separate Big 12 programs.

SMU's a Big East program.

And you're barely old enough to be an adult.

And your company that's being dickheads just used questionable measures to get an employee into their company who had a non-compete.

Oh [expletive], nevermind I didn't recognize him in that picture but Purdue destroyed his team last year. He was awful.

The tampering excuse is such a cop out. Bo is just being a big baby about this. I understand the B1G schools and possibly Marquette but Iowa State and ACC schools are a joke. Heaven forbid he wants to play in a different system or go to a school closer to home. But no, Bo can't have it that way. I'm sure Jarrod is the first and will be the last player to want to transfer to another school.

hawkeyecub · April 18, 2012

Bo is clearly being an [expletive] here. The Big Ten and Marquette are obvious. As ridiculous and wrong as the entire ACC is, I guess he's doing it because he never wants to play him in the B1G/ACC challenge.

The only reason I can possibly imagine ISU would be restricted is because he thinks they were tampering.

Even if they were, oh well, move on. You're banning the kid from playing big time(big conference at least) basketball in his home state. I guess I don't even understand how this is legal.
