I wouldn’t be surprised if Kriener  or Pemsl left.

I certainly think that Brady will graduate and move on.  The key question is whether Iowa can find a quick PG who can pay defense and penetrate. There are a lot of things to like about this team but everyone needs to make the commitment to pay better individual and team defense. Not sure who is going to provide the leadership for this but they need it.

I see the present situation caused by two things. First, both the Junior and Senior classes have been comparative busts, with the best player from that group being a walk-on (Baer). Defensive communication is something learned with time and playing together. The constant deep rotations don't help in that regard either.

They don’t communicate well, their reaction times are on a 1/2 second delay, they get way out of their positioning set ups, they get beat on dribble-drives to the baseline and paint often, and just look flat-out confused on occasion.  Wasn’t Speraw a coach who, in part, was brought in because of his defensive expertise?  He’s got a lot of work to do, along with any other assistant who is interested in defense.  .
