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

You guys don't understand. We're going to crash back to earth with our top 30 recruit Wiggington and our top 25 class while Fran takes undersized two star point guard Jorbo and Walk on Nicholas "Slenderman" Baer to at LEAST one Final Four. (This was actually said on HR by a Hawk Fan.)
The sad part is I think they truly believe that shizzle. They have douchecanoe "journalists" like Leisty and Hassell telling them it is so.
 
fran and iowa are a perfect match. they're always going to be juuuuuust good enough so that hawks get excited, but never quite good enough to make us worry they're on to something.

wouldn't surprise me if Fran locks in a nice extension for 2.8m+ per or so to lock that in!

Exactly this

I would put the O/U for career NCAA wins for the "Fab Five" at 1.5, and take the under.
I honestly don't think that group will ever make it to the tournament. They aren't very good, and their coach is even worse. I don't expect much development.

The thing is the traditional Big 10 powers arent going to suck this bad forever. Then you have up and coming programs like Minnesota and Northwestern. I think Iowa will be fighting for 8th place every year. These Iowa fans think the team exists in a vacuum and that other teams wont add more talented players around them while their freshman become all Big 10.
 
Wow, you don't know who Iowa's fab five are? Bohannon, Pemsl, Cook, Moss, and Kreiner

This guy?

I think fighting for 8th is being kind. They will be towards the bottom fighting with Rutgers and Penn State.

Exactly this.

It is where they were with Alford though so I expect the Express Train to 'Pack Your Bag's' starts to roll next year. Remember, this is a fan base that ran Tom Davis out of town and that Lute Olson couldn't wait to run from.

We have to temper our expectations - Still say Franny Pants has one, maybe two years left. They probably qualify for NCAA next year as one of 7 B1G teams do, lose in first round. I think the wheels come off the following year though. That is the year Hok Fan will expect the Final Four run and I bet they are 3 seed in the NIT.

The b1g should be much improved next year, there were a ton of young teams. Everyone besides Michigan, Purdue and Wisky brings a ton back next year. The Hawks bring a lot back but there are 4 or 5 teams that bring back more, without losing their leading scorer.

Didn't you read though? Jok was only player holding this team back.
 
Right before IU-Hawk game--- heard comments on pregame on 1360am

"Iowa one of the hottest teams in the country" (radio host)

"Iowa one of the most dangerous teams in the country ". (Tom Crean)

In Saturday Am CR Gazette, the beat writer quoted some Iowa players were still pinning hopes on a NCAA bid, in the locker room after the beat down Thursday

Iowa fans, athletes, and their media have their share of delusional doozies
