Can't express in words how disappointing this is. Also lowers confidence for the long term prospects of the program.

When I looked at his Twitter profile yesterday and saw 5 new followers associated with University of Iowa recruiting sites, I was definitely suspicious.

I really didn't understand why when I heard I've stated my reasons why but probably not enough ink to detail why he didn't have to

I'm sure somebody got in his head and said he had to move up to a "higher level" to make it to the NBA. If he's good enough, he'd make it even if he stayed at Drake.

I’ve stated my openness to players doing what they need to do. But I hate that in this case there was likely a bunch of bull**** back channeling on Iowa’s part to get this to happen.

+xDrake gave him a chance and he crapped all over us. Welcome to college basketball in 2020....mid-majors are nothing more than a feeder system for the big boys.

Wow. Devries gives him a chance when he weighs 300 lbs and nobody wants him and Robbins repays him by immediately bolting after one good season.

I hope this is something the coaches have known about for awhile....but, if he just sprung this on the staff out of the blue this late in the game, almost impossible to reconfigure your recruiting to find a replacement.

Haven't seen them really pursuing any big men. Sure looks like he gave it to them as a spring surprise.

I heard about this yesterday and from what I heard it came as a surprise but not a surprise. If you get what I'm trying to say. I don't begrudge a kid for leaving but you got put in the position you are because of Drakes coaching staff trainers and etc.So why wouldn't you think you couldn't get to the NBA with those same people. You've already proved you can play that's why the NBA is looking at you. There's no conference out there with centers that's going to improve your skills. Those are things you and your coaching staff and trainers do. But 2 games in conference against wherever you go against some who know's what center isn't going to get you better. The weight room time you put in the gym working on your shot and being able to pass out of double teams. Those are the things no matter what conference. You're in a conference considered I think top 10 in the NCAA. Good luck Liam just my opinion
