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

I can't remember a single T Rex style player in my lifetime for ISU and Fran is already going to have two in his tenure. Incredible really
 
It is clearly an opinion. Cook is a kid that wasn't getting drafted this year nor is he getting drafted next year. Why do you think some of the guys covering Iowa didn't think he would be back? He's playing for a trash program and a trash coach who hasn't helped him get ready for the next level.

No he said he had a legit NBA option...
 
I agree he can get lighter and more explosive within our strength and conditioning program, but i think his athleticism will be just fine.



fast fwd to 2:20.


I know Dotson is going to be good, but how does a play where he bounces it off of his face, loses the ball only to be lucky to get it back and then dish it to a teammate because he has no other options, make it onto a best play video?
 
With Illinois getting their program straightened out, who will have worse programs than ToE in the B1G? Rutgers and Minnesota?

I’d say Minny is looking brighter even with their off court issues. Nebraska and PSU are probably the teams looking for that honor.

I know Miles at Nebbie gets some heat but I think he is a better coach than he gets credit for. He had a couple of very nice teams while at CSU with no-name kids. I bet he finishes ahead of Fran 3 of the next 4 years.

But lets be honest, there is a real horse race for the bottom of a mediocre conference and Fran has ToE squarely in the middle of it.

Yeah...not pretty. Jordan McCabe on the the other hand. Every time I see his highlights, I get sad that he will be playing for Huggy Bear for the next several years.
 
I’m now at 90% sure that DJ Carton isn’t going to be playing home basketball games in Iowa. If he makes this team that goes up to 95%. He’s ready for the big boys to come in now.
 
I went over to Hawkeye report to see what they feel about carton because he has blown up obviously.

They had a minutes distribution thread with like 10-11 guys on it playing real minutes. Didn’t they ******* learn from last year?

They’ve talked themselves into thinking they’re talented, and going to be good next year. They are adding a good player in weisencamp, but otherwise it’s the same roster.

In addition to being the most insecure fan base in the nation, they are pushing for the stupidest
 
It comes down to Iowa or Rutgers for least talented team in the Big Ten next year. I think Fran is actually a better coach than little Pitino but Pitino is a much better recruiter

I never thought I’d see the day that Nebraska, Northwestern, and Penn State could be in better basketball shape than Iowa at the same time.
