I think there will be at least one significant departure from what I am hearing. I cant say anything more.

A number of comments in the DSM register article kinda stuck with me:
Offense puts greatest amount of stress on a defense, IF RUN WELL. As if to say these guys can't seem to get it. These are his guys!!! 3 years!!
Butler seems to be good with it. You aren't at Butler. As if Butler is the model for all that college basketball is and should be. Anyone else tired of hearing about Butler???
Players love it.....WTF??? Is that why the hawkeye players look like they are having so much fun??? Thats why so many have transffered away from it? Big time recruits are calling Lick to come play this system.
Transistion offense??? When? Ever?
Don't want to dumb it down. You pompous *****. We are soooo blessed to have this basketball genius as our coach...we just dont understand. As if e is saying, Sit down and shut up!!!
Why we "chose" them to come play for ME!!! See above.
Sorry but he seems very arrogant, stubborn. We are not supposed to question the great OZ.
Maybe I am reading too much into this article but tese were my first reactions.

I'm in trouble for starting a different 'transfer' thread... so I'll chime in here.

This is exactly how it feels to me too....

What strikes me is how lick requires his recruits to demonstrate the proper level of ''humility'' ,yet he seems to think that this offense is the stuff of genius.

As for the 1.4 million...booster donations are a big factor in financing these programs as well as revenues from tickets sales and concessions....all are hugely affected by the malaise over this program right now.

Iowa averaged 10,000 empty seats at 18 home games this year...that is 180,000 empty seats...even a 5 dollar cone or pop for those missing 180k equals 900,000 dollars. Tickets sold is around 8800...add even 3000 to that at 25 dollars a pop, and you get 75k x 18 = 1.35 million....we are talking at least 2 million/year we could add with the right hire....1.4 million buyout? Do it.
