Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

He was in the ~ 95th percentile of all Division I basketball players in offensive rating. If that is not elite, what is? 98th percentile? 99th? I’m sorry that you think Garza sucks because he is uncoordinated, goofy looking, and plays for Iowa, but the advanced stats are on my side, not yours.
All reasons that it's unlikely a player is of elite caliber.

Sure feel bad for all of those blue blood programs who weren't able to land Garza during his recruiting phase. Clearly they missed out on an elite basketball player.
 
Sagarin is the best tool out there for SOS and teams not receiving votes in the AP poll IMO. Not sure what's wrong with that
You are basically saying. If iowa State is not in the AP I can use it to compare to others. But if you can use it for that why couldn't you use it for a top 25 team too? But you don't want to use both for the top 25? Just the AP.... that doesn't make much sense

Link where I said that?

I never said Garza was an elite basketball player. I said he was elite offensively, which- surprise- is what offensive rating measures.

Garza is so elite offensively but didn't make the B1G 1st thru 3rd teams, honorable mention, or all Freshman team.
Is it really that bad that iowa has a player that can be decent? Why do you guys hate that so much?

That's not at all what I'm saying

Did I say he wasn't decent?

Decent and elite offensively aren't the same thing in my mind.

And why are you such an idiot?

I use the AP Poll for all top 25 teams and those receiving votes. I use Sagarin for the rest of the bunch

Sorry sometimes I quote the wrong way. When I said you I meant isu fans in general. It seems like they hate the fact the iowa actually does have some talent that is not mid major talent besides Tyler cook.

You make a lot of assumptions and odd postings.

I still can't get over the fact you'd take Fran's and his best being someone else's worst.
