Iowa point guard Cully Payne decides to transfer to another school - Des Moines Iowa Hawkeyes | Examiner.com

Ouch. They are gonna have another TOUGH year in IC.

There is a bigger shocker than this about to be released regarding a former Hawkeye.

Sucks for them. He was an annoying little pain in the ***, so as a Cyclone fan, that must mean I thought he was pretty decent.

He only played in 5 games last year, he was a non factor that was replaced last season, after he was injured. He saw the writing on the wall.

It's believed that he was playing hurt for those first 5 games, which limited his effectiveness. Is he better than Cartwright? No, but he would have been a dependable backup.

As for Tucker, Hoiberg really should take a pass on that one. Tucker has demonstrated time and again that he can't stay out of trouble. He'd rather party it up than take basketball seriously. If ever there were a transfer that was guaranteed to backfire on Fred, it would be Anthony Tucker.

Why would you even want Tucker? A standstill set shooter that cant guard anybody

Cully Payne hasn't developed much since middle school! He committed to DePaul as a 10th grader I believe and following his 11th grade year both sides agreed he was not a Big East style player. That is saying a lot...if you can't play at DePaul right now...yikes!

He may not be better than Cartwright but he ain't worse. He's a better shooter and doesn't turn the ball over as much. Plus I think he is just as good of a defender. Cully's numbers in a slow offense as a freshmen are not that far off from Cartwrights as a Junior in an uptempo

That's not true. He committed to Alabama after he decommited from DePaul so it had nothing to do with his talent.
