The Bottom Line
The fans are right. Center is the priority, and it’s not close. McKeever and Fru represent two different paths to solving Iowa’s interior problem — McKeever is the traditional rim-protecting seven-footer, Fru is the efficient finisher who can operate in the pick-and-roll. Either one would be a massive addition. Both could be a season-changer for the Hawkeyes in 2026-2027.
The portal window closes April 21. McCollum proved in year one he knows how to construct his roster. He built an Elite Eight team in Year 1 with pieces that other programs overlooked, largely from low-majors and D2. Now he’s working the portal with a resume that speaks for itself.
Buckle up, this should be a fun ride.
