One of the Iowa basketball team’s biggest disappointments this past offseason was its inability to land an impact big man in the transfer portal. The Hawkeyes have seen a serious exodus in post talent over the past two seasons in Keegan Murray, Luka Garza, and Jack Nunge, and Fran McCaffery and his staff hoped to find someone who could challenge returning big man Filip Rebraca for minutes at center and add to the team’s frontcourt depth. While Iowa did manage to retain return center Josh Ogundele after his dalliance with the transfer portal, Iowa’s failure to secure a high-profile transfer big raised serious concerns coming into this season.
