"I don't usually go to the top floor, but tonight I had a business meeting." -Devyn Marble via Jordan Garretson
For the video of Devyn Marble's late game dunk check out the video at High Porch Picnic
Iowa started out fast against the Gophers building an early 14 point lead. Cold shooting Minnesota started to find the bottom of the hoop and closed the gap and eventually went into halftime with a three point lead. Iowa's offense was lethargic for most of the second half until late when the Hawkeyes found a spark.
Marble drove down the court and did something we don't see every often, he stopped and popped a three. The very next possession Marble took the ball and drove around a Zach McCabe screen to rise up and throw down a one hand jam that fired up the Carver crowd of students taking advantage of free admission.
Marble finished with 12 points and senior Matt Gatens added 18. It was Iowa's first season sweep over Minnesota since 2007. The Hawkeyes will face Penn State Saturday at Carver-Hawkeye Area at 2 pm (CT).
After the jump, recruiting recap plus more links.
Kirk Ferentz and his coaching staff inked 24 players on National Signing Day. Ferentz said they are still waiting to hear from one recruit, Alex Kozan. Alex was a no-show at his high school's ceremony for athletes to announce their college destinations. He had verbally committed to Iowa but now is still deciding between Iowa, Auburn and Michigan.
The Hawks added a pair of surprise recruits yesterday. Neither George Kittle or Reid Sealby's names were mentioned by the pay-per-view recruiting sites prior to signing day. Kittle is a legacy recruit. His father Bruce was a key part of Hayden Fry's Hawkeye turn around both as a player and coach in the early 1980's. Sealby was heading to Air Force before a late Iowa offer came via phone call. Reid is from Byron, Illinois, home of former Hawkeye Sean Considine.
In addition to scholarship additions, Iowa added four walk-ons from the Sioux City area. We knew about Andre Dawson, Michael Malloy, Alex Imming and Will Kincart, and now the Sioux City Journal reports Iowa also added Jeremy Nelson and Cole Croston. Nelson played at Heelan with Malloy, he's number 64 in these YouTube clips. Cole is the son of former Hawkeye and Big Ten Offensive Linemen of the Year Dave Croston. Cole doesn't have a YouTube highlight but he does have videos on Hudl.
Ferentz held a press conference to discuss Iowa's newest members of the football team. He didn't discuss the defensive job openings but did announce Iowa will hold a press conferece next Wednesday. If video isn't your thing you can read the entire transcript here.
You can also read the "Quick Slants" from Marc Morehouse. Marc also has a longer recap of the days events including defensive coordinator talk. His recruit bios, like this one with Connor Kornbrath, will start rolling out today.

Rewatched that Marble dunk a half dozen times.
Am I grasping at straws when I notice Basabe was one of two (Archie was the other, I think) guys on the bench who didn’t react in any way?
Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.
I think I remember him (Basabe) looking pretty excited during one of the time out huddles around that time towards the end.
It could have been before or after that play, though. Overall I thought he looked like he was happier to be there than a few other previous games. I think that’s just his normal expression. He’s Ferentz’s kind of player! Kidding, mostly.
Hey Dolph, you look like I need a beer.
by Give Eddie a Beer on Feb 2, 2012 10:00 AM CST up reply actions
Yeah, I dunno.
BTN also caught Basabe yawning at the end of the game, which… okay, sometimes you just gotta yawn, I suppose. I’m sure he wasn’t happy to be on the bench in crunch time, but at the same time I wouldn’t really have wanted to see him on the court over anyone that was out there. White and McCabe were playing well.
I was happy that Basabe played as well as he did when he did get minutes last night, though. He was pretty active and energetic, did a nice job rebounding, etc. From that evidence, at least, it didn’t seem like he’d checked out on the game/team at all, which is good.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Agreed
But if I were Fran, I would definitely have him checked for the full gamut of diabetes/mono/what-have-you. He is not the same kid who gave as good as he got with Sullinger last season.
"I don't usually go to the top floor, but tonight I had a business meeting." -Devyn Marble
Last night was the first time I really noticed from the beginning of the season
how much better he looks physically. He’s a lot leaner, like he was last season. Or maybe it is mono.

so by the time we get him a sleep study and he gets his machine
we’re looking at about 2-3 weeks to really get his energy back after he starts using the CPAP. So he might be well rested in time for the B1G tourney.
Dude, I've yawned during hard-ass workouts.
Sometimes it’s the bodies natural response to needing more oxygen.

"yawn" is an interesting word
It is one of the few words that creates an involuntary physical response, specifically yawning. Same for viewing somebody doing, you get the urge. The only other one I can remember off the top of my head is “itch”. So, I hope I just got you to itch by reading that. Bet you love me for that.

He played his best game in weeks (and it wasn't even that good)
So you have to think he didn’t appreciate being on the bench during crunch time. Then again, he’s not even starting so I’m not sure what he thought was going to happen. I also found it interesting that Olaseni came in instead of Brommer. Is this the fall of the Brommercide?
That postgame interview of RDM had to make you smile: Tom Davis’s son was asking Roy Marble’s son questions while they should video of Marble Sr. cheering on RDM after the posterization of Ralph Sampson III. You also gotta love RDM’s confidence. He basically said he knew he was going to make it (that clutch 3 pointer) because he’s confident in his jump shot. I wish some other guys had that confidence.

Re: Hlas video interview with Brian Ferentz, Brian sounds just like his dad.
Both his voice and his manner of speaking. Some of the mannerisms and facial expressions are there too. Could be a coaching dynasty in the making. Good for him.
I hope so
On a somewhat related note, this is my guess for a dark horse DC candidate, on the theory that Brian said good things about him to Kirk and they are willing to go young:

Whenever I hear Belichick speak
I hear Kirk Ferentz. Something about the tempo or pattern of speach.
We're getting a hell of a kid in Andre Dawson.
I’ve known him for a long time (same class at Wash as my younger brother) and he’s both a class act and hard worker. It’s an added bonus that he has the body of a B1G back and experience in the college atmosphere. I’m trying to not be homer and get my hopes too high, but getting Hawk Jr could prove to be huge.

The most confusing part to me is that 2002 OSU is seeded 1st, while 2002 Iowa is seeded 6th.
Sure OSU won the mNC and Iowa was smashed by USC in the Orange Bowl, but that seems like a big drop for teams that were generally perceived as equal heading into bowl season.

As catnuts says, dem bowls DID happen, sadly.
Also, the top 3-seeds won national titles (although ‘97 Nebraska can fuck right off; I know why Bama included them, but it still annoys me to see Nebraska included in any sort of B1G historical piece… their B1G history started in 2011, end of story). The 4-seed was a juggernaut until they got Daniel Murray’d and the 5-seed won the Rose Bowl. As awesome as 02 Iowa was, they did lose to ISU (godfuckingdammit) and had that crappy Orange Bowl. So I can see where he got a 6 seed from.
Hopefully the WhatIf Sports computers like the 02 Hawks. (I do wonder how much they’ll like the 02 Buckeyes, because the strengths of that team were defense, special teams, and luck… I’m not sure how well computers can simulate that.)

I get more than a little upset when I see Tom Osborne and Tommie Frazier during those Big Ten spots. That happened well over a decade ago. Why that’s included is beyond me.

Also, before Nebraska was around
Penn State was never included in “Big Ten’s Best___ of the 80’s” and the like because they weren’t in the Big Ten yet. Once Nebraska became a part of the conference, they were included. Makes no sense (and Penn State totally got the shaft).
