Fred left for the NBA. Otherwise, he probably would've been here.
I forgot he really liked Fred. We get him and Coffey if he didn't leave
The more I think about this topic - I can't think of any grad transfer who would consider Iowa. Grad transfers are usually looking for a bigger role and/or a bigger stage. If Mooney, for instance, was only looking for a bigger stage - he might consider a KU or Duke blueblood where he may only get 15-18 minutes (but he has a legit chance to get to the FF). If he is looking for both, he will go to a P5/6 school where he can be a focal point on a nationally relevant team & play in some NCAA tourney games. Iowa's philosophy, under Fran, seems to emphasize depth - gotta play 10-11 each game. There is NOT enough minutes for a grad transfer to be satisfied with that arrangement. Then, there's the issue of getting to the NCAAs - that is NOT a "given" under Mad Fran. So, there are no enticements for a grad transfer to answer Iowa's call (if they are making any in the first place).
I'm sure Fran would figure out how to give each player fourteen and a quarter minutes a game.
The only thing Iowa has to sell for a grad transfer is you will be the best guard on the team and that SHOULD get you 25+ mpg
JR paid Russ Smith's way for at least a year when he was at Louisville. I can't remember who they got with the extra scholarship, but it was someone who helped them win the NC banner that has since come down. Having an extra player is always worth it, unless that player is Zach McCabe, so I guess I see your point.
The way I read it is he's waiting to decide what Cook does. Man if Cook leaves they are in bad shape
So are their fans. This has barely been a blip on the radar over on HN and HR. I have a feeling he'll transfer to UNI and be all-world over there.
