The Nimmers deal is bizarre. To Recap...

August 3rd



August 19th



September 21st


So Hutchison must already be on campus. When does fall workouts start? I wonder if he has been working with the team though not actually a part of the team.

If Larranaga wants this kid then Ortiz will set him up with at least a quarter mil when he gets to campus. Iowa doesn’t swim in that pool……and neither does ISU.
First time I’ve ever referenced one of my own posts but when Johnson-Arigu’s final list included Miami it was game over for Iowa and the others. Their mega NIL donor John Ortiz is funding a multi-million dollar a year roster by himself. Few programs have that type of sugar daddy especially for basketball.

So basically...

Nimmers goes into the portal to leave.

Receives little to no interest, comes crawling back hat in hand.

Iowa decides to take him again or at least humor him.

Iowa happens to find a slightly better but still bad guy late.

Knifes Nimmers to make room. Sort of a...

"I know it was you, Amarion. You broke my heart."

Sort of thing?

Seems like Nimmers wants to play. Tried to transfer out to a lower level school originally. For some reason that didn't work out so he came back to Iowa. Now he's headed JuCo.

I have no idea the story on the new walk-on other than in true Iowa fashion he's very old for a "freshmen" lol

Since he was a non-scholarship player, from out of state, Nimmers either has a lot of student loan debt, or a sugar daddy.

Rock Island, IL borders Iowa so he probably received in-state tuition rate (that is still a thing, correct?).
