The hawk fan base is whinny because Fred continues to bring in quality basketball players that make ISU NCAA worthy. They are hypersensitive to all of this stuff even though it has nothing to do with them. The best part? It appears they have accepted the commitment of their second transfer under Franny. However, it's different for iowa. Because.

If this kid screws up he will be shown the door, I am sure that has been told to him by CFH. Its not like we don't have other options at this point. We are lucky to have Coach Hoiberg, and if he signs RV he will transend all levels of ISU legend there is.

Just to provide some perspective from Doctor's past posts. You can literally count the positive ones on one hand. The rest are more like this:

4 years ago we were complaining because McDermott couldn't win bringing in a bunch of midwestern boys, and many said he needed to "get with the times" and take some risks. The same people also claimed that we can't sit around for 3-4 years and wait for those kids to develop.
Now we have Fred, bringing in talent from all over the country, albeit with alot being transfers. He is bringing in proven players who may be "risks" and some are now made we aren't developing enough talent.
Geesh. We are winning. By-and-large are players are staying out of trouble. Who cares?

I don't think it is too much of a risk. The worst that happens is we kick him off the team if he gets in trouble... then we are right back where we were two days ago. Its a 1-year scholarship, were not out anything in the long run. Kind of like Amardi, hopefully he has a good senior year, if not we can use the scholarship again nextyear.
the 2014 recruiting class will be a good indication of how good of a recruiter he really is. We are after some really big fish there.
I'm sure Kane just wanders around, randomly punching people in the stomach...
**** happens, people get in fights. Life goes on. Can't hold it against him the rest of his life.
I think we already do, it's called going to the NCAA tournament and Kane will help us do that next season.
This guy...I think Kane showed maturity with his decision to leave home and come to Ames for a fresh start. Get behind him or **** off. (Not directed at you chuck because I think you are joking, just in general)
Haha sorry my sarcasm detector was broken. I'd trade a couple gut punches for a trip to the Sweet 16 anyway.
Agreed, something tells me Cunningham and Davis are our best bets. Crossing my fingers for either Abu or Vaughn but that will be a couple tough gets.

Looking forward to seeing Naz in Cap City league in order to compare him to last year. I loved the defensive effort and intensity that he brought last year. Hope he still has that and has added some more to his offensive threat.
I remember someone asked Babb who was the next lock down defender under Fred and he said Naz
If character is such a question with DeAndre Kane, how is it that he was somehow able to reign in his thuggishness to at least graduate from a university? That shows some level of self-discipline and perhaps even positive character, does it not?
