It’s been no secret the Iowa Hawkeyes have been in the market for a big man this offseason. With Filip Rebraca graduating, Kris Murray declaring for the NBA Draft and Josh Ogundele now off to Middle Tennessee State, there is a gaping hole in the post that Fran McCaffery needs to fill.
The first piece to that puzzle was the signing of the Missouri Valley Conference’s leading scorer in former Valpo big man Ben Krikke. While he alone won’t fill the void left by Rebraca and Murray, he’s a big starting point.
On Monday, the Hawkeyes added another piece to that puzzle when Iowa announced former Belmont big Even Brauns had signed.
