They're hyping Fran's recruiting ability with those players? Two of them are from Fran's household and one grew up as a lifelong Hawk fan. Not impressive that three of the five were going to Iowa no matter what.

Since Prohm was hired, him and Fran have landed the same amount of top 100 players.
One of ISU's Top 150 kids is already out of the program and Connor finished ranked 152nd so the difference between the 2 programs HS recruiting isnt as nearly as drastic as you are making it seem. Shocking, I know.
Jakolby Long, Cam Lard, Lindell Wigginton and Terrence Lewis all top 150 players in composite.
What 4 composite Top 150 does Iowa have in the last 2 years?
Wasnt defending him, just showing the gap between him and Prohm and their success in recruiting HS kids isnt that drastic.
Nice.
And no. You just catered your argument to where it benefited you, so I did the same.
Twins was using the 247 composite so thats is what I used in my response. Its not that hard.
I want to see how Prohm can build a P5 roster first. Jury is still out on that. He has a lot of work to do to get back to the tourney next season. The Clones finished in last place by 4 games and everyone around here thinks ISU is back on the right side of the bubble next season for some reason.
So I gave you credit for your 2018 class but you didn't give Prohm the same?
Jury is still out.
Fran inherited a mess and made 3 NCAA tourneys in a row. Prohm created a mess and needs to dig himself out of it.
Yes, I counted THT and Wigginton as Prohm's Top 100 kids. Those are the names @srjclone threw out as Top 100 kids Prohm nabbed.
Hahaha he’s 9 years in and has proved he can’t coach or recruit. But hold on to that jury.
What about top 150 players? Griffin and THT plus Prohm got Shayok which Fran would have a wet dream if he had him on his roster
I can see how it got confusing, he edited his post.
He bolded my top 100 comment and listed those 4 that I responded about earlier. Now he changed it to Top 150...that rascal.
This is your hang up on the Prohm vs Fran debate? Fran needs guards, but recruits forwards, and you want to wait and see if Prohm can put a roster together?
Garza and Wieskamp and then Connor at 152. Not that big of a gap considering Long is out of the program already.
