I didn't think he should go, but at the same time thought Alford would be great at Iowa. 1.2 wins per year is nice, but it isn't Elite and it isn't a National program.
Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

And I never said Iowa State was elite, but still better than Iowa's .67 per in their consecutive streak right now
Jury isn't out. This was his 2nd full year at ISU and 3rd in college. If it isn't happening for you then, more than likely it won't happen.
Elite and National programs was dropped in this thread.
What would you categorize it as?
In terms of basketball in the state of Iowa, I'd say it is. 6 straight tourneys.
So first response says it is Elite. Please don't say nobody is calling it Elite again.
Elite in the state of Iowa, aka better than Iowa, Drake, and UNI. Obviously that's different than calling it elite on a national level, and even you know that.
The Hawks Saviors (frans sons) Patrick Had 3 points today. Connor 18
Thank you Fran for spending schollies on these two.

Lute's 5 year run was Elite. Dr Tom got ran out of town for 1 win per year in the NCAA. 1.2 wins per year for an Iowa team is not Elite.
Dr. Tom was run out of town for 0.8 win/year in NCAA while missing it twice in that five year period. Apples and potatoes.
1st year of actually playing and a limited roll behind veterans.
Notice how I said I think his ceiling is high from what I've seen--basically he just needs to finish because getting to the hoop isn't an issue...Steve Prohm seems to think he's decent.

I didn't predict some sort of All-American Final Four leading flare up like in Hawkdom.
Not everyone can be Woodbury and just wow the crowd from Day 1, although one could argue his most improved area was intentional malicious behavior to make up for his lack of actual athleticism. Seriously one of the worst players I've ever seen in general, and only add to it the hype surrounding him.
Totally agree. Heck I might even say a very successful 5 year.
A walk-on? He might be paying his own way so his dad can use another scholarship but 4-star recruits usually arent walk ons right?
18 points sounds decent for a high school tourney game. The other kid is a sophomore, I dont know what scoring 3 points in a game says about his future prospects.
I watched most of the 2nd half and I don't remember a single basket he made. I remember a few free throws.
