Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

1976 thinks that because Iowa State had its best recruiting class in school history and still finished 4 spots below Iowa, that equates to Iowa State destroying Iowa in football for the foreseeable future.

The guy has no idea what hes talking about, just trolls endlessly
Actually, Iowa State finished 12 spots behind Iowa, with two more commits than Iowa, in the 247 Composite Rankings. Those should be the only rankings that matter since it is a composite of all the major recruiting services.

You finished higher in the recruiting rankings because you had one guy who boosted your ratings. We have a lot of quality guys coming in and a better coach. We have more talent on the team this year than you do. Can't wait to beat you down in the fall.
 
Back on topic. Looking like iowa will be with the 4 lumbering Centers and tyler cook lineup for next year.

off the bench will be 3-4 more slow 6'10 guys.
Oh but wait, I thought Fran was recruiting "athletes". lol, they are not going to be good. You can't be good with no guards.

This is a basketball thread. Don't you think Iowa will have a poor backcourt next year since Jok will be gone?

Saying this, "You finished higher in the recruiting rankings because you had one guy who boosted your ratings", is like saying, well if you took Deshaun Watson off Clemson they wouldn't have won the title, because he boosted them to the title. See the thing is 1976, you can't do that, it is one of the stupidest argument out there. Almost as stupid as the "It's Iowa's Super Bowl" argument.

Also, Iowa State does not have more talent on their football team than Iowa does. What even makes you draw that conclusion?

Well,I was going off Rivals rankings, Iowa is 40, ISU is 44, but my point still stands.

I'll give Iowa the advantage in the trenches but about every skill position besides linebacker I would say yes, ISU is more talented and I don't think it's debateable.

Better receivers, better QB, more depth at RB, better defensive backfield. Smaller gap than usual on the offensive and defensive lines.
And comparing your recruit to Watson...wow that's the dumbest thing I've read today. And that's saying a lot.
So have you given up on basketball? Maybe you should try the football thread. At least you can pretend to have hope there. Basketball for Iowa is hopeless for the foreseeable future.

Yes ISU Likely has more basketball talent on their football team than Iowa does on their basketball team.

Dude, I never compared Watson to Epenesa. It's an analogy you tard. Receivers - ISU, QB - Stanley has all the tools, Park more experience, RB - Wadley, Wadley, and Wadley, DBs - Iowa always has better DBs.

Wadley sucks, Big Ten defenses sucked last year, argue about it in the football thread. This thread is for how bad Iowa's backcourt will be next year

Who is this average backcourt going to be for you next year? Bohannon, Moss and Ellingson? Bohannon, Moss and Connor? Find a worse backcourt in a P5 country than that for me
Yep, you got it. Those would be the four on the team next year. Pretty average.

How are those average? Is that a serious thought that you think that is an average major conference backcourt? That is like saying ISU's front court is great this year

They aren't even an average mid-major back court. Fran got better guards at Sienna. I'm not sure this guy can be serious.
