Is Fran building a regional powerhouse or just calling Iowa fans idiots and morons?

Fran's inability or desire to go to the transfer market is going to due him in. Even blue-bloods take transfers anymore. The game is quickly passing him by.

Yeah, I really don't get his thinking. I honestly think part of it is that he is a very stubborn person and doesn't want to change. Everyone goes after transfers except Iowa. Just doesn't make any sense.
 
I mean the last transfer he got with Uthoff was pretty damn good, dont know why he doesnt want to do that again.

I wonder if part of his problem is admitting that "his guys" aren't working out.

They don't have depth issues at forward, but they definitely have issues a guard.

If you’re not concerned about a recruit that isn’t going to end up in the Big 12 why do you keep bringing him up?

Because we're trying to figure out if Fran is building a regional powerhouse or just calling Hok fans idiots and morons. Just like the thread title says. You really need to work on your reading comprehension.

He is not the top backup option for Iowa, He is like 7th in line, but he is who Iowa will realistically get. Carton is probably a Michigan/ Indiana lean. A few other offers to top pgs are MSU leans. One already committed to UNC. Terry has been to quiet to be considered a contender for at this point IMO. He has blown up and will go to a better school. that leaves us with Hutchins and Locure.... Which I would be ok with if we get someone else besides Patrick that is high level, but at this point I do not see that happening. I had hope about a month, even 2 weeks ago, but recent comments by Fran, continued level of being comfortable with what we have, and not closing in on top guys has me down and out for Iowa basketball. I want us to do well, but Fran will not be the guy to do it until he lands some good recruits that are not his friends kids or his kids or born Iowa fans.

I am one of the biggest hawkeye fans around, but I cant even defend Fran and his lack of an open minded view on recruiting anymore. He will leave Iowa stuck in the making the tournament 1 time out of 4 years at best. Just wait until Cook leaves. He is gone. No way he is coming back to Iowa right now.

I already have, but I have hope that Francis sends him on a vacation for about 2 months and takes over just to see what it would be like..... Fran comes back and boom, athletes and some top 200 guys..... Fran gets mad and leaves taking his 2 kids with him then Iowa gets 2 grad transfers and the rest is history..... but again that is just a dream.

No troll here, Iowa is in trouble in basketball if things do not change.... and since last season there has been no change besides weiskamp...... He will be a very good player, but Him and Connor and CJ are not going to light up the competition to make it to the NCAA tournament.
