Is Fran building a regional powerhouse or just calling Iowa fans idiots and morons?

Video of Francis to the fan base at free PB&J night:

I would just be extremely disappointed if Prohm was doing nothing to improve our team for next season. What season are Iowa fans targeting to take over the state again? It's been pushed back so many times I can't keep track.
 
It’s seriously gold. Players and now coaches are on the same page with their assessment of sucking a fat one and being morons.

Disapointed? I would be pissed if Prhom flat out said he was giving up until a later date.

Here's my favorite rationalization I saw on Hawkeye Nation:

Jay Wright
  • Year 11: 13-19 (5-13)
  • 7 straight NCAA appearances before this point, including a final 4.
  • 6 straight NCAA appearances and 2 titles after this point.
Matt Painter
  • Year 8: 16-18 (8-10)
  • Year 9: 15-17 (5-13)
  • 6 straight NCAA appearances before this point, including 2 sweet sixteens.
  • 4 straight NCAA appearances past this point, including back to back sweet sixteens the last 2 years.
John Beilein
  • Year 8: 16-16 (8-10)
  • 5 NCAA appearances in 6 years before this point, including a title game appearances
  • 3 straight NCAA appearances past this point, including a title game appearance this year.
Fran McCaffery
  • Year 8: 14-19 (4-14)
  • 3 NCAA appearances in 4 years before this point, best finish as round of 32.

Somehow this fan thinks Fran's situation is analogous to these other coaches...it's a car wreck I cannot look away from.
 
Here's another great one. After hearing for three years how Connor is a better version of John Stockton and the most pure point guard ever...maybe he's actually a small forward:

The most interesting part of that podcast was the part about Connor needing to be heavier for baseball vs basketball. At 6'5, you'd probably want to be 225-235 lbs for baseball. Probably closer to 215 lbs for basketball. That makes me wonder what a guy like Connor would be like as a 235 lb small forward.

I'm emailing this to Barta while masquerading as a big donor.

Hope Connor and THT can match up next year, that would be fun.

I think it's probably a more accurate position matchup than Connor vs Monte Morris which is how they've built him up until now. (not that I think it's close)

They haven't recruited a promising point guard since maybe Dickerson had promise as a transfer...so every player is a true point guard solution coming in according to the sunshine pumper types.

Lol oh my God
 
So you are okay with being called a moron?
No....

I haven't listened to it. Seems like a lot of folks on here have...

Anyway, I've never listened to or watched a Prohm interview or podcast. I only catch a few of FM's....
