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

There is a thread on HR suggesting to build a new arena. I'd agree with that, but there are some posters suggesting downsizing the arena to 10k. Yikes.
They should play at the McLeod Center in Cedar Falls. It seats approximately 7K and they would always be filled up - same fan base.

It doesn't always have to be that bad of a season. Just last fall, after the Hoks went 1-3 at the start of the B1G season, I was trying to discuss FB (in a respectful way) to a Hok acquaintance of mine. He looked at me, and immediately said, "I'm actually looking forward to basketball season." Then he proceeded to go on about how the Hoks would likely be at the top of their conference. Looking back at this is even more hilarious considering that the FB team far outperformed their basketball team.
In points given up or loss margin is where they were tops.
 
DJ is cutting his list to 3 tomorrow. Guess well learn if Iowa is still recruiting him or if they pulled his offer earlier this week.

@Sean__Bock Per his Instagram, 2019 five-star guard DJ Carton (@DJCarton) will be announcing his top three schools tomorrow night. Took official visits to Michigan and Indiana in late June.

Like I've said all along, Iowa was never a player in his recruitment. Hutchins come on down
 
Think it will be Michigan, Indiana, and Iowa with Iowa simply grown in as an epic troll job.

I’ve got dibs on the DJTOP3 hok vanity plates if any hok fan wants to buy it from me.

Anyone with a 247 account knew Iowa was out a long time ago. Why Kakert and Sanderson set the fan base up for disappointment on a situation like this is mind boggling

Well to be fair, CW, Paul Clark, and uncle randy pretty much all did the same thing with us during Harrison Barnes’ recruitment . Homer reporting, it’s just what these guys tend to do.

This may be a little worse, since Iowa really hasn’t landed any legit high ranked talent that wasn’t already a life long hawk lover in frans entire tenure.
 
I was going to give Franny some credit for at least recognizing the talent of Carton early on and offering Carton before he blew up, but I'm not even going to go that far since he's from Iowa's backyard in Bettendorf. Fran pretty much automatically is going to offer any instate kid with even a shot at being a D1 player.
