Missing the tourney back to back years puts you on the hot seat at a basketball school. 3 in a row and you're gone
Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Let's mark this rare occasion where I actually agreed with something YeahBuddy said.
Except in Ia City where two in a row increases your buyout by millions. I wonder what three in a row will mean? Lifetime contract?
UNI would finish ahead of Iowa in the B1G most years, definitely the next few.
And why is it so hard for you to see that it's questionable any of Iowa's players belong on a good, average, or even poor PAC 12 or BIG team. I'll give you that Pemsl, Dailey, Bohannon and company do flash the goods at times, which might at least appear to theoretically support the notion that if they fight and scratch and claw they can belong on an upper half of conference Power 5 squad if everything goes right, but to claim that they have already done this is certainly dubious at best...And even then, you're going to have a whole team of plucky role players who punch above their weight? Doesn't that sound a little mid-majory to you, too? No one denies that mid majors can flash at this level; You're paying good money for this! Is it not unthinkable someone else out there could give you more for less than Fran? If no, then... Well... Dang it, man that's the saddest thing in America.

Fran on grad transfers, "And you have to be respectful of the guys you have. Because if you bring in a grad transfer he's got to play. "
My translation... can't cut in to my son's playing time.

A lot of Hawk fans seem to think Connor will be some kind of star player for them next season, and be All B1G or something. Where are they getting this from?
I saw him play in HS 3 times, and wasn't that impressed in any of those games. He really wants to play baseball, and that's where his future likely is too.
Thinker posted his projected starting lineup a page or two back and had Connor at PG and JorBo at SG, which is fine, but as he correctly pointed out- neither of these two can penetrate a defense or create on their own. Isn't that a HUGE concern for Hawk fans? It should be.
The only starter that Thinker had down as a creator/penetrator was Weiskamp at the 3, but do we even know if he's capable of that at the college level? I don't know about you, but I don't see Iowa being that much better on paper next year, and likely worse if Cook doesn't come back.

I see YB is doing real well with his "pledge".
Fran hasn't gone the transfer route regardless if his sons are on the team
The Fran quote being discussed was about grad transfers I believe...
Regardless...Fran hasn't been exactly active on the transfer market
I know you go to bed every night hoping and praying that somehow someday franny will have the premiere program in the state dan.
But as smart as all your other predictions have been I like our odds.
