Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

I can't think of a reason someone would say this? I mean he's a good shooter, but his inability to play point guard is a huge reason for their struggles this year.
That’s an indictment of Fran, not JBo. Jake Sullivan’s ranking as a Cyclone isn’t lowered because Larry didn’t have a pg for his junior season.

I’d buy that Iowa’s program is sad enough that JBo could be one of their better offensive players. He’d be a lot better with better coaching and teammates.

I feel a little sorry for JorBo (or for that matter anyone subject to the Frantrums).

I haven’t watched much besides our game with them, but some of his strange social media stuff, I get the impression he tries very hard and takes the losses hard as well. Granted I didn’t really understand the thing he said about being at Iowa cause they lose or whatever that mess was he said.
 
He is going to lead the program all time in assists and 3 point FG's made and will probably finish Top 5 in points scored and score at least 1800 points in his career.

That doesnt mean he is one of the best players to ever play at Iowa.

Good point. But while many would say that Jake Sullivan is one of ISUs all time great 3 pt shooters, not as many would say he's one of the best Cyclones of all time.

He’ll be as accomplished as Gatens, and just as forgettable.

Thanks for the clarification. You had better let his brother know this.
 
How bad is your program if this kid finishes his career as top 5 in scoring and go down as one of the all time greats?

Well we have never built a statue for a coach who won 40% of his conference games and only advanced to the second weekend of the NCAA tourney one time in 14 seasons.

Orr went 5-9 in conference play one season and Fran still hasn't had a better season than Orr did that season in his entire career
