Lots of BUZZ he will be headed back to KY and play for the Wildcats. I’m all for that.

46.6% from beyond the arc this past season and 47.4% overall. 7.5 ppg in 27 games played.

What were his health concerns?  Anything that might be lingering?

Plantar Fasciitis.  I am sure he has already taken steps to try and get the issues addressed, but not sure.

Surprised. I thought Iowa was a great fit for CJ. I would be worried about his playing time if he came to UK as is speculated above.

UC?

I don’t think CJ “fits the mold” at UC, but maybe that’s just me.

Is there one already established with Miller as the new coach?

No... But my guess is if CJ wasn't willing to stay home and play for Mick, odds are he isn't going to UC and playing for a coach he has no prior history or relationship with.

I'm really surprised Notre Dame hasn't been mentioned or involved.... Unless CJ's ultimate goal is to just get back closer to home.

There's accusations (among the Iowa fan base so take it FWIW) that there may have been some tampering behind the scenes before CJ was in the transfer portal. I'm assuming that's what Pat McCaffrey is referring to with his tweet below.

...meanwhile, in other news, Iowa is now the bright shining moral authority in the NCAA. Lulz

Hmmmm .... why would that not surprise me?

[futurecoach]

Definitely would be a nice piece to have coming in off the bench. With that said would he want to come here and come off the bench after being a starter? Also can our fan base handle him being here and not playing 40 minutes a game.
