Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

A mid major will still take him regardless when it is, especially knowing they have a whole year to fix whatever Fran tried to teach him

I'm not so much talking about Pemsl getting taken as I am Iowa having to scramble to fill a scholarship. We've all seen how well Fran has done trying to bring someone on at the last second.

Fran isn't going to add anyone to the roster this off season, he's made that clear. He's not going to do anything to jeopardize Connor's playing time
 
I love that Pemsl is going to wait until after most transfers and high school players will be off the board to decide on his transfer.

This is what I was getting at earlier. If one of Cook and/or Pemsl leaves it will look foolish in hindsight that Fran just sat on his hands from March 1st to whenever those decisions are made. Taking multiple open scholarships into next season would be such a confusing move but I guess you shouldn't be surprised at this point.

So to summarize you think Cook will be back because Iowa released an article saying he might be back but you think Pemsl is 50/50 on returning even though Iowa released an article saying he will 100% be back? I want to make sure I'm accurate here

I have said I thought Cook would be back for weeks. You know that.

And that should be grounds for immediate dismissal.

Oh I would be so pissed if I was an Iowa fan this off season where Fran just straight up refuses to even look at a grad transfer because of his son but he's not going anywhere anytime soon
 
He clearly mentioned not having a ride available for 2019 after adding a transfer, not a grad transfer.

I know, reading comprehension is hard...

I'm not going to explain the English language to you, but I will say this. Fran's emphasis in that statement is he wants a '19 scholly available. A GRAD TRANSFER does NOT effect a scholarship for 2019.

This is worse than your earlier post about how adding a grad transfer would affect the roster. No sheet sherlock.

I agree with you on this. And Fran thinks the same thing.

Him stating that he wanted to keep the scholly for 2019 was regarding going after a sit out.

Is it making it harder for you to support Fran after he decided not try to upgrade the roster for this upcoming season?
 
Other Big coaches have to be ROTFLTAO thinking about Fran Jr. at point guard and JorBlo at 2 guard.

That is one way to interpret it. If true, why won't he pursue a grad transfer? It would have no bearing on his stated intent (the point of emphasis) of having a 2019 scholarship available.

I have already answered this and the answer is I dont know. I wish he would have pursued a grad transfer.

Harder to support? Ive already said I would want him gone if we dont make the tourney next season. Nothing he is doing now is making me change my mind on that front.

That was kind of a stupid question.
