Who of all the names that have been tossed around has ties to Iowa?
Devries and TJ have both recruited Iowa, and obviously Devries currently does. Altman is also familiar but way out of the loop at this point. Fred also obviously.

Porter Moser- 17 years as a HC and he will be making his 2nd NCAA trip. 289-241 career record. Pass
97-35 his last four seasons with a final four.
Yes and i would take Devries at ISUThere are 2 coaches there.
Well at least we aren’t going random game by random game like everyone does with TJ.

Moser is excellent. I absolutely love the guy as a coach. But has the same questions as any mid major coach. First, you have to accept he is going to play very very slow. Second, he is going to take time to build a program, he isn’t a 2 year fix guy. Third, at this point, he has a good gig there, I doubt he wants to come to Ames at this point in his career.
Knowing all that, can he recruit well enough to take on Beard, Self, Kruger, Huggy etc. He would have to get guys to come to Ames that are willing to play slow and yet are just as talented as the rest of the conference. It’s hard. Clearly it can be done, Tim Floyd did it, but it’s a lot to ask.
Would take any of these. Seems to me Pollard has to make a big hire with someone of significant achievement - he can't afford two disappointing ones in a row.Moser, Keller, DeVries and Smith of the names I have seen look to be the best choices for mid major selections. As for recruiting Moser would have an "in" to the Chicago area.

Nothing really of interest, but I think this is the first time anyone has been asked about the ISU job
Now that's a reporter who knows to get straight to the point with a question.
FWIW, I talked to a couple of Darian's brothers (big Iowa fans) the other night. Asked if I was going to see him coaching at ISU next year. It was met with a very quick and resounding "Nope".
I certainly think a great deal of this kind of response is typical in our state -- you're an "Iowa guy" or an ISU guy, or even a UNI guy.FWIW, I talked to a couple of Darian's brothers (big Iowa fans) the other night.
