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

Murphy and Downs just agreed: if the hoks don’t get killed tonight it’s time to get excited about Iowa basketball again. Smh.

Did Hawk media stop stating, "They played Michigan close, so they're right there," as they did all spring and summer?

Nope.

Lol none of those 3 were even close to going to Iowa. Tyler Ulis was closer to going to Iowa and they finished 3rd for him

"Iowa swung for the fences..." Thems just fancy words for striking out.

Iowa did a great job identifying elite talent and building relationships with those targets early. Then the Hawkeyes were hoping to build a class around Patrick McCaffery and rely on his personality to attract other elite guys to Iowa City. It almost worked with four-star wing Malik Hall. It almost worked with Carton. It really almost worked with Trayce Jackson-Davis. But…

No it didn't "almost work" for any of those three lol.

Also, Patrick McCaffery is the 4th best Iowa commit since 2000? Woof

Ha, that picture says it all. Great looking D1 body right there. Yikes.

There was another funny quip in there where Bain talks about how they are going after another “Baer type” in an upcoming class like that is a good thing. SO FUNNY.

Class 1A basketball is right around the corner so they're going to do a lot of sorting.

Good lord, now I know where the rest of Woodbury's arms went. Can he tie his shoes without bending over?

Checking into this game...looks like one of those that Iowa wins and their fanbase will be all over the Final Four train.

I can't get over how long Bol Bol's legs are

 

[madguy30]

Bohannan proving he's slower than a footer.

Ya I think the give Cook the ball and let him build up a head of steam and draw a cheap foul offense is going to cause teams trouble in the the pre-con.

Well, when he was out at USA Basketball they measured him at 6-7 and 178 lbs. Now that he committed to Iowa, they list him at 6-9 and 195 lbs. That is impressive, he grew two inches and put on 18 pounds in 4-5 months.

Nice win for the Hawks tonight. Should be a pretty nice win to have on the resume come March.

After watching Oregon, I really ******* doubt it.

I guess we will see.

4th best recruit since 2000 and Bain already wonders if he will redshirt. So funny.

This quote came to mind in how he was talking about the "near misses".

"Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot — who had nearly fought the Dragon of Angnor, who had nearly stood up to the Vicious Chicken of Bristol, and who had personally wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill"

The last person I would question in basketball recruiting is Jerry Meyer and it's been reported by more than one unbiased person that Xavier's dad has a strong relationship with Prohm

I am just now noticing that Jerry Meyer put in a crystal ball for Foster to Iowa a few months ago...what’s up with that? Seems pretty encouraging for Iowa considering Meyer is such a reputable analyst, according to @CyTwins

If Foster wants to play for Fran, and with his two sons, then go for it buddy. Good luck with that!

Still blows my mind how any kid coming out of HS would rather play for Fran than Prohm.
