I know this is a troll post, but I thought JorBo played pretty good this year for what the team asked him to do. He played a lot better than what the posters in this thread will give him credit for.
Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

I'll make some bets on it with people I know. I do like that you have high hopes for next year though
You realize we already established Bohannon wouldn't get minutes for ISU this year right? Like Iowa fans even admitted that
Trade freshman Monte for freshman JorBo and Iowa is probably an 8 or 9 seed, bummer for them. ... and as long as we're talking about hypotheticals, take Tyler Ulis off the Suns this year and Iowa is probably as big of a favorite as Xavier to win the whole damn thing.
He shot 37% from the field and couldn't defend a folding chair
What I said has nothing to do with this statement about Bohannon getting minutes at Iowa State this year.
and averaged more points and assists than Morris as a freshman. What is so hard about this?
You're starting a team and can only pick one player, who you taking?

Ok, you know he ended up playing starter minutes by the end of his freshman year.
That team was 28-8, won the conference tournament, went to the sweet 16 (beating Carolina without the heart and soul)
Jorbo played on a crap team.
But you knew that.
Monte set a good bar for his play especially being a 5th option on a tourney team and then built him self to AA incrementally every year since. Improving on his weaknesses (size and shooting) along the way. Different roles result in baseline stat differences but MM quality of play and team results were much better.
I don't see J-Bo ceiling much higher than his freshman year. EIU fans will want him out in a couple of years as they realize they've already seen his best. There are already multiple Iowa fans begging Fran to recruit a PG over him after J-Bo's past year.
Right along the lines with Iowa Players Coach and Program. Peak early from low expectations, get fans on bandwagon, then disappoint, call for heads.
Rinse and repeat, but hey "the future is bright".
And more Bohannons than Monte's first two years combined.
I remember it like yesterday, early season game, Jorbo goes for 20 and 6 and they lose by 9 to Omaha.
Is he in any way tied to that outcome?
I think maybe he was, they got in the lane at will and kicked out for target practice.
Yikes. You'd think it would be a nice day for a break from CF but guess not.
I agree with most of this. I wish Iowa could find a suitable PG, but unfortunately it looks like they are stuck with JorBo for at least one more year. Interested to see what Wieskamp ends up at position wise and what he is capable of doing.
I looked into this for curiosity sake: So 'Jorbo' averaged 1 more assist (and 2 more turnovers) and 4 points than a 2 guard who didn't start until about midway through the season who was playing with 3 All-Americans.
You're right. High fives and hustle all around.
Are you the former JohnnyDugouts, who laughably called Gesell and Monte a wash?
Tell you what. Come back in three years and let's compare careers, mmmmmmmmmmk? What's so hard is when you want to compare a limited ability freshman with an All-American.
