Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

[CyTwins]

I feel like that has been beat to death for about 233 pages now dont you?

Well you did claim he's good at recruiting and developing players because he recruited one guy who got drafted and didn't sniff the league in 8 years lol

Kinda weird posting tweets from high school kids.

He’s obsessed with them apparently.

Pretty sure their logo is a chicken though.

Fred Flintstone a chicken? Maybe not the bravest, but still that’s harsh.

His obsession with a below average coach and his entitled family is creepy

cy is a damn bird for christ sake. Lets stop talking about stupid mascot stuff because it makes zero sense coming from the cyclones of the mid west with a tornado symbol and a bird as a mascot.

Your feathers seem to be ruffled.

Why open the thread? Why comment? Why be at CF?

I mean, tornados > chicks, at least by emoji standards. I wasn't comparing Cy to Herky.

WTF is a hawkeye anyway and what do chick emojis have to do with it.

It's all part of their "swarm" thing. A swarm of baby chickens.

Wait, seriously? A team that is named after a state nickname, that uses a bird for a logo, has something called "swarm" (which is a term for a collection of flying insects), and they reference said swarm with emojis of chickens. That's a joke right...

Iowa's Basketball/Football social media presence is really bad

They do the gator chomp so not sure what their mascot is.

Nothing says welcome to Iowa Basketball like Fran’s high school spawn tweeting peeps at you and calling you bro. Should have linked that dance video from Tyrannosaurus Woody days.

True, quite the identity crisis on the east side of the state.

So you're basing your assessment based on one article from Virginia's own Randy Peterson.

Hope there will actually be a spot for Jake at Iowa if he commits. Sounds like Brian’s thoughts on what a commitment means aren’t actually true.

With the Steelers unis.

Shayok would have been a major contributor to UVA last year and his experience would have helped them in the tourney. The article even stated his decision to transfer was a surprise. Marial transferred looking to show case his scoring abilities in an uptempo system to improve his pro stock. After an off season of work on his game he'll get his opportunity.

Try to minimize the impact of transfers if you want but there is a reason the national recruiting media is Identifying him and Jacobson as impact performers.

If he wanted to play in an up-tempo system, why would he transfer to Iowa State? I guess in relative terms, anything is “up-tempo” in comparison to Virginia, but Iowa State doesn’t really play particularly fast or up-tempo.

Also, Jacobson isn’t going to be an impact performer for anyone at the P5 level. He’ll be an ok role player, I guess.
