Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
About 15 spots better according to your beloved 247, but you already knew that.
Now reply with (Are you saying you would rather have JW than THT next year?)
Bring Iowa back... to what? The NIT?
So let's play out this absurd narrative that it is important to focus on in-state recruits. Let's say over the course of the last 5 years you got the best of the best in-state, excluding JUCO. By my count, you'd have wound up with:
Jok, Pemsl, Connor McAffrey, Kreiner, Klint Carlson, Casey Schlatter and JBo. What a powerhouse.
Ranked higher right now.
Like I said a few days ago, the gap between them is not very large. Both programs got a really good prospect in those two.
Who says you have to take a kid each year but its really dumb not to focus on instate kids?
And convenient you left Wieskamp off the list. If you were able to keep most of Jok, Bohannon, Connor, Patrick, Wieskamp, Green, Carton and Foster home in a roughly 8 year time period that is a pretty good start on recruiting.
I already answered this question a few days ago.
Weird how it always comes back to an Iowa comparison for a lot of people on this board, you especially.
Please. If KU, UK, Duke, NC, etc. wanted this kid, they would still offer him. They're not afraid of an Iowa offer (LOL). And if I'm this kid and have an offer from Iowa and one of those blue bloods comes calling, I would pack my bags and go play for any of those coaches instead of playing for a raving lunatic.
Yeah, because if a blue blood was interested, they'd care that he was committed to Iowa. Please.
