Is Fran building a regional powerhouse or just calling Iowa fans idiots and morons?
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
What else is there to talk about? The draft decisions have been made by everyone and college football is about 3 months away from starting.
You never answered my question yesterday. Did Iowa have a talent issue last year?
Then how can you explain someone who would be picked first in pick up games and started last year went to Drake and was just picked 4th in the CCL draft if their isn't a talent issue?
That is a really bad bracket by Lunardi. That is all I have to say about that.
He started one game, I dont even remember which one, and played the 10th most MPG for Iowa last season.
This is a really bad effort by you.
He was being cleared out to make space for little Fran.
Minutes played, LOL.
Minutes played, LOL.
He started and pretty much played the whole game against ISU I know. He played 94 games in his career at Iowa but it's not a talent issue. Lol OK
There are a lot of assumptions with this opinion (and I agree that Iowa doesn't have a ton of talent). But just in terms of an argument, your position isn't very solid. Here are some examples:
1) You assume that one player talent = the talent of the whole team.
2) You assume that Fran would never start a less talented player over a more talented player.
3) You also have never defined what you mean by "talent issue" and what you consider to be a "talented" player.
4) You assume that Iowa has a "talent issue" and not a "coaching issue" or "development issue".
Like I said it's a talent issue. Ellingson is going to be mediocre at best at a bad mid major program, losing Williams was a "huge blow" and he went to a bad mid major program and Wagner who started for you guys is now playing football. I don't understand how you guys don't see it
Who in the Big Ten has less talent than Iowa as a team? I'll hang up and listen
I coudn't tell you off the top of my head besides the obvious, but I could look into it but first I need some parameters. How are you defining "talent"?
FYI: You aren't on a telephone.
Wagner and Ellingson combined to play 20 MPG last season. I never said losing Williams was a "huge blow".
Like I said, poor effort here.
Talent would be defined as good basketball players. The only team in the Big Ten that has worse basketball players than Iowa is Rutgers IMO
Wow....
Makes sense for Fran to regularly start less talented players. His bench is really good. Uhm talent issue and talented player are the same thing. So your admitting there’s a coaching issue? WTH.
Wagner and Ellingson combined to play 200 games as Iowa Hawkeye basketball players. Lol
So you are using a purely subjective measure of talent? Are you deciding what a "good basketball player" is? Or are you basing it off something else?
Fran sucks as a coach, our defense is bad, we need quicker players, etc. They'll all say that but when you just flat out look at their roster and say it comes down to talent they'll jump at everything to say Fran is good at recruiting and bringing in good players. Odd to say the least
