Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

[LLCoolCY]

Never heard of him. Know any more about him?

Tyler is 2020 PG out of Chicago. DePaul and Iowa are his P6 offers currently. He has been gaining steam recently and there will be more High Majors paying attention.

Fran should prioritize Beard obviously but he needs to add 2 PG's before 2020 to compete (and maybe have a job).

Plays at Whitney Young, a top tier prep program in Chicago. Plays AAU for MeanStreets, a top 3 program in the city. And he just had a really nice showing at the Nike Elite 100 camp. All the publications are talking about him.

I'd get accustomed if I were a hawk fan, cause it seems like he is right in line with what they can get, and they were in before he is going to get more and more big name recognition.

The fact Fran refuses to go after someone like this truly is mind boggling and so fun to watch

Iowa doesn’t have a scholarship available.

I'm sure Iowa's tuition costs less than Doug's did at Creighton.

Whoa, you and @CyTwins have made it perfectly clear in the Iowa Football Recruiting thread that it’s unacceptable to take away a scholarship from a kid and make him walk on.

Take away doesn't equal giving it up.

Again, you've had a rough day.

You are stuck here. You can’t denounce something in one thread and then vouch for it in another.

You and Twins, trolling both sides of the same issue....typical.

Doug gave up his scholarship. You definitely are no geneous.

Your post was implying that Connor should not be on scholarship this season.

 

[JP4CY]

Your post was implying that Connor should not be on scholarship this season.

I never implied Conor shouldn't be on scholarship. I pointed out that one of the most successful NCAA players of all time, whose dad was his coach, gave up his scholarship.
Iowa could do that if they wanted to. I never said they should. I insinuated they could.

@MartinCy how can you disagree with this?

@MartinCy how can you disagree with this?

Did Fran give a walk on a scholarship? I thought they only had 12 guys for this upcoming season.

You are right, my error.

 

[CyTwins]

Yeah they do which makes the fact he'll ignore this kid even more fascinating

 

[SCyclone]

If Fran is doing anything but focusing on defense from now until October he needs his head examined.

I agree with the bolded part.

 

[inCyteful]

When will Hok fan admit or realize that Fran isn't going to recruit a P6 PG as long as Connor is on the roster?

He could have 10 scholarships open and he wouldn't go after a good PG. Nothing is getting in the way of Connor's playing time.

That is the only logical reason at this point

No. As Much he claims he is here for hawk talk, he is here to troll. @YeahBuddy doesnt even know his own teams roster
