Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

Isn't there a good grad transfer guard from Albany too? I'm starting to wonder if Fran will even try in the grad transfer market since he never has before

Listen, Fran is NOT bringing in anything close to a PG this year or next year. That spot is reserved for Connor who is marginal at best and Fran knows it. He isn't going to bring in a kid that would compete for Connors time. Won't be hard for Connor to take JorBo's spot and let JorBo move to the 2.

It is obvious that Fran's 'career plan' now is to let Connor and Patrick play B1G basketball and get by as best he can with what he can put around them. With the $10 Mil buyout he is pretty much guaranteed being around through their playing days and then he will be fine retiring to coach Lehigh until he retires.

Let's pretend that Iowa has actually attempted to contact him. A couple things may indicate why Goodman's tweet excluded Iowa:
A) Goodman does NOT consider Iowa an upgrade from Tx a&m-CC (also showing how irrelevant & archaic Hok basketball has become).
B) Amin completely ignored Iowa's attempts at contacting him.

"Fran McCaffrey" I wonder who that is. I don't remember anyone by that name.

What was the name of that girl with the Irish accent on spring break from like Kansas or South Dakota I hooked up with around closing time at Mulligan's last spring?

Uh...there's no way I'm answering that.
 
Took time to create an account on CF but then kept coming back after multiple bannings for being an uneducated troll


Now, if I understand right since I’ve never been banned on a board, for each username you need a new email. You also have to log into an email account periodically to keep them established. So trolls like buddy have to do a lot of work to post here when they gotten a ban.

Do I still post on HN? I haven't been up to date with what I'm apparently saying over there

You on HN:

"I've seen a lot of graduate transfers on Twitter releasing schools that have contacted them and haven't seen us listed once. Why do I have a fear we're not going to get the guard we have to have and why aren't we getting in on these kids yet?"

"If Fran doesn't think we need a transfer guard or doesn't want to play the transfer game he can't be fired soon enough. That's ridiculous and any impact guard will see he has ample playing time here with how poor our guards are."

"The only potential hurdle I can think of is a graduate transfer will probably want to go somewhere where he thinks he can play in the NCAA Tournament but you have to be able to pitch to him that he's the difference maker to get you there."

"At some point Fran needs to win these recruiting battles or we need to find someone else who will. The excuses people make for him and his shortcomings in recruiting are insane. We're in a great spot to bring in a graduate transfer guard and if we don't that's a huge fail for Fran."

"I just don't get it. It's like he's not even attempting to get one."


You on CF:

"I'm starting to wonder if Fran will even try in the grad transfer market since he never has before"

"I mean does Fran even try in transfer recruiting? I can only think of one transfer he recruited and he missed on him"

"Lol seriously how is Iowa not even contacting this kid? I'm not sure I've seen someone lazier on the recruiting trail than Fran and his staff"

"It's going to cost him his job IMO. You can't just ignore transfers like he does when he's not a good HS recruiter"

See bold: definitely not an ISU fan.
