The hype is large for Hawkeye Men's Hoops entering their first season with new Head Coach Ben McCollum at the helm.
McCollum and his staff are integrating players into their system and trying to establish a new culture in Iowa City that is built for prolonged success.
A significant factor in the prolonged success is the ability to recruit and add the right players to the roster.
McCollum has stated that there are a large number of good basketball players out there, but he wants to recruit high-character guys first, and the basketball part will fall into place.
