One of the hardest working Hawks of all time. Bowen, Nick Baer, and Wade Lookingbill..
Wade Lookingbill! Nothing flashy about him but he did work hard!
I remember one game where we were in a tight contest with Illannoy and he banked in a 3 -the only reason I remember this is because there were several Illini fans with me (I was working in Chicago at the time) and their reactions were priceless (to me). I think we won that game but beers and time have clouded my memory....
Nuggets Summer league head coach also went to Iowa and went to school with me at East. Andrew Munson.
Probably a result of too many pump-fakes.
Him and Settles! I really liked Jess -I remember him playing with some kind of back support -solid player!
I know this is a reply on a reply but thought I'd share. After posting my previous comment I went down memory lane and found this article. It's basically a Settles article but it's a time we remember for many reasons.

"Iowa Sports Legends: Where are they Now?": Jess Settles
Out of all the Hawkeyes spread out across every sport through the last century, it's possible that nobody was born to wear the black and gold more than Jess Set

I always liked the nickname: “Wade ‘Can I help you? No, I’m just’ Lookingbill”
