Yes I was talking about if JBo would try and test out his injured hip and end up playing us, not Pemsl. Pemsl's situation is completely different.
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
CJ Frederick is likely going to be an all Big 10 player. He can do it all. Better than JorBo/Moss/Weiskamp combined. He is a tremendous talent.
(sarcasm, although many Hawkeye fans are hyping him up)

Can someone explain where the hype came from on this kid? He came to Iowa as a walk on
The Big Ten home-opener was 6 days before, the road-opener was 3 before, what game did Pencilhead choose to play in again?
I don't doubt for a second that JBo will try to take advantage of playing in 5 Super Bowls.
He has basically replaced Brady Ellingson as the most tremendous practice shooter in the country.
Seriously though, the Iowa media propaganda machine is a real fine tuned piece of work...
I can totally see him wanting to play in the game considering his known hatred for Iowa State, but that would require him to possibly come back a little bit earlier from his injury than he'd like. Being a short white basketball player already sets you back a bit in the divison 1 basketball world, coupling that with an injury / lack of 100% mobility would make playing even more tough. We'll have to see what decision he makes.
Bohannon seems like the kid that would never want to leave Iowa so this could be a positive for him. It will set back his career selling insurance a year but it will be worth it to him
He's trying to keep up with Jess Settles for longevity at EIU by wearing his varsity jacket on campus until he's 34 years old.
1. The toughest schedule in program history is Creighton, SD State, and Cincinnati? I mean, maybe if they draw Villanova and Duke with the two still to be announced games but as it stands... JFC.
2. A 1-2 starting backcourt of Connor McCaffery and CJ Fredrick. Wow. That's gotta be close to the worst in P5 basketball. Connor is going to be away the entire summer playing a different sport too? Yikes!
3. Why in the world would you redshirt Patrick, the already super old freshmen, now? You're down to 9 and a walk-on. Why would you voluntarily cut that down even more?
4. Pray for Joe Wieskamp.
I find it extremely interesting that Connor is going to be away the entire summer for baseball. Right now there are a lot of new faces that are going to be playing next year for Iowa and having a summer to mesh and create chemistry is highly important. Wouldn't you think after a few players leaving and Bohannon got injured Connor would stay for the betterment of the team? Have to wonder if his last name wasn't McCaffery if he'd be allowed to be away for so long. I would lean towards no.
Taking those .230 batting average talents to the Big Apple!
It also could be mentioned that Connor was not an all-star this year for them by any means and many times throughout the season he probably should not have been in the game. If he were not the coaches son, he would have to excel greatly this next off-season for him to solidify his playing time and not get jumped by someone else. In his current situation he can basically do anything and still start or get significant minutes.
No worries they'll just find more friends of the family to walk-on to the team to fill the empty spaces.
Fran finally hired his assistant coach replacing Francis, Billy Taylor. Seems to have good Mid-Major experience.

Taylor joins the Hawkeye staff as an assistant coach after 18 years of collegiate coaching experience, including head coaching stints at Ball State, Lehigh, and Belmont Abbey. McCaffery coached Taylor as an assistant coach at Notre Dame (1992-95) and has been on the same staff as McCaffery on three different occasions.
