Of course he doesn’t say why /Iowa state has been killing it in the portal with limited resources.
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

Some moron just put out that Iowa is the transfer portal “winner” because the kept Freeman, Dix, and Sandfort.
Exactly. He's the reason that Iowa fans think that the Albaugh family is funding the Iowa State program... You know the the exacts same program that Iowa fans have called poor all of a sudden is flushed with cash to buy players. Such a bunch of turds.
Has anyone asked how much of a cut Brad is taking?

I think Brad's problem with Swarm is that he should have hired someone experienced in fundraising to run it. Just because he has a successful business of a different kind doesn't mean he can run a collective well. The other problem I think they encountered was it took awhile to get the University on board with backing it.
Brad is just a huge fan with a ton of money and thinks everyone should think like him. He clearly isn't a salesman because your sales pitch should never be to try and shame or guilt the fan base into trying to buy in to something.

He isn't taking anything. In fact, he has put a lot of his own money in to try and make up for money he thought he would have.
You'll also never hear the leaders of these collectives say we have enough. Regardless of the collective the message is going to be we need more.
Listening to him though, he clearly has concerns on being able to not just cycle, but grow the contributions for the next year. It seems like he outkicked his coverage on the whole deal. But hey, the SWARM is doing it all the right way, just ask him.

Agreed. There's the typical grousing that a group needs more money, but what the Swarm guy is doing is more than that. Or at least it comes off that way.
the prototypical hawkeye fan
I think Brad also grossly underestimated how much work it would take to raise funds. He's flat out said that the wealthier "older" fans aren't buying in like they expected. Sounds like it's been a real struggle.
If they miss on this Cross guy, what are they going to do? Give schollies out to their 3 walk ons? This is going to get dangerously (but hilariously) bad for Fran if they miss on Cross and Sandfort stays in the draft. I wouldn't expect them to win much more than 12 games total.
Sandfort is gonna come back and play with his brother

Their depth, especially in the back court, is going to be razor thin, unless there's some secret guard they're in on.
Those pods aren't posted on Spotify yet...usually they are uploaded within a couple hours.
Probably because producer Lucas Strain is a whiny pompous entitled arrogant and know it all Hawk fan.
Honestly…. as much as these programs ask of their fans monetarily already…. I’m surprised they get anyone to give to the collective.
Unless I win some lottery, I’ll likely never be able to contribute to the collective…. other than buying some of their beer and pizza.

Yes they will be pretty bad.... but I cannot entirely dogpile on them. It was not all that long ago the ISU won a whopping 2 games.
Their fanbase has no money left to donate after buying cheap beer, cigarettes and tattoos.
