We shall see. Would be a huge loss for the Hawks. Selfishly, I hope he returns for another go next year.
Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
It would be pretty great for your guys if he came back so you can finish 3 games under .500 instead of 6 or 7
From the article I posted earlier, it could be in effective immediately after the June meeting or August 1st.
Iowa isn't going to make the tourney next year with him or without Cook so it doesn't really matter.
If I were an Iowa fan you'd almost wonder if you'd rather have him leave so you can hurry up the process of getting rid of Fran
This is what I'd be hoping for. Problem is, they have that insane buyout since they got Barta-ed.
He’s probably the difference for Hok fans to keep the NIT Dream alive.
Considering the buyout Fran isn't leaving for 2 years in my opinion. If may look worse for Fran with Tyler on the roster..
Cook leaves Fran and Barta can use that as an excuse of losing their most talented player for not making the tourney.
Cook stays Fran loses that excuse and results are all on him.
My prediction:
Weiskamp
Patrick McCaffery
CJ Fedrick
Connor McCaffery
Fran might as well just open up an art gallery to display all his busts next year.

Tbh, no reason everyone with aspirations to go pro shouldn't do this same thing. I think it was Calipari who had everyone on their team "test the waters" even their walk-ons. Can't hurt your chances and gives you a good gauge on where you are at and what you need to improve upon.
I know that Jess came from a smaller school, but I think winning the BiG frosh of the year and leading the team was impressive. Even though a smaller school they won state all four years he was playing and watching from a rival team, their team his senior year was one of the most impressive teams I've seen in high school. Jess Settles (ToE), Clay Edwards (Good guys), and Burt Lappe (UNI) all on one high school team.
Settles never won a state title and they were upset by Hudson in the first round his senior year. Not sure Lappe played much for that team. He was either in 8th grade or a freshman. Had a terrific point guard Eric Rawson I believe.
I'm sorry i was mistaken. You are right rhey didnt win a title until 95, but Lappe was a freshman on Settles Sr team, and he did llay as a freshman.
First time seeing A.J. Green play...I’m impressed....he’s definitely a better shot than wieskamp
