Off-Season Drama

The Iowa Hawkeyes don't begin practice for the 2014-15 season for a while (October) but that doesn't mean there hasn't been news surrounding the team. First, Peter Jok has had another issue with the law and not all of the media is sympathetic to the sophomore to be. Second, Zach McCabe has had his assault charge dropped so the controversial senior no longer has that to contend with. You remember McCabe, right? He was the one that did the WWE takedown on the player and had to have Coach Fran ban Twitter.

Third, there is some good news - not all news has "run-in with the law" as a generic grouping of the stories about the team. Obviously, the biggest story has to be Devyn Marble being drafted to a NBA team. That is awesome and I wish him much success in the NBA. I hope he has a long career and a productive career as well as far as being able to play during the game and not ride the bench. Second, as far as this year's team, there are multiple bright spots. The biggest has to be Aaron White's senior season. To me, he is the default leader of the team this upcoming season following the graduation of a strong senior class. Working hard during the off-season by attending two prestigious basketball camps, puts him in a great position to be a player in the NBA. All he needs to do is play well during the season. Yeah, I wrote "all he needs to do."
