Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

Not sure that Garza is the best player in the nation, but he should be in the discussion, he has had a hell of a season.
He is the one player at Iowa that you cannot afford to lose, his play under the basket opens everything else up, really without him, Iowa looks a lot like ISU.

Iowa fans better start hoping that his play starts to level off, or he will be heading to the NBA draft, and then without him in the middle, it could be a long season for Iowa next year.

There is a lot wrong with this post. Iowa can shoot the ball and play average defense. They aren't even close to being ISU bad without Garza.

And his dad already said he is coming back next year.

This is based on no real information and you know it.

Of course he is coming back. He has nowhere else to go.

And yes, Iowa would be pretty close to what ISU is this season without him.

In this instance, I may trust a crook for once.

While I agree he's coming back his dad's word means nothing
 
I think Fran is terrible and has a horrible temper/demeanor, but Iowa is pretty good this year and ISU is not. Not sense debating that.

That being said, I think Garza's improvement has nothing to do with Fran. Fran has shown the last decade he's done little to help his players.

Iowa has open looks because everyone is trying to stop Garza, without him that ends. Just like it did against Illinois that other night. When he is in the game, Iowa was scoring points, when he went to the bench, the scoring fell off.

Everyone is coming back now, but if he continues to play the way he has, I would give it a better than average shot he leaves. Few pass up the money if they are a high draft choice, and Garza is playing himself in to that type of pick.

He's not going to be a high draft choice.

You nor I know that right now, the way he is playing, all of that could change. I love the way Iowa fans downplay the thought of Garza leaving, but then say, he is one of the best post players in the nation.
Having watched a few of his games, the announcers keep talking about how well he is playing, and the box scores keep showing the same thing, 20 to 25 points and 15 to 20 rebounds, against quality competition. NBA GM's have got to have noticed the same thing. His draft stock will never be higher than after this season, he will just be a year older if he comes back. Why come back if he can get into the first round?

You can be a great college player and not be a high draft pick.

Have you seen any mocks having him drafted at all?
 
I'm not making stuff up like you are. How can you pretend to know what they are thinking? I posted a link showing what some of their fans are saying about Fredrick. Fredrick was a walk on at Iowa last year so KY didn't have to choose between him or Herro. Dontaie Allen is the guy some are saying they'd rather have Fredrick than.
Because I am smarter than you.
1-uhm. How do you know if u are making **** up?
2-I don’t know but guessing cal gives no ***** about failed Fran.
3-their fans? That is so very delicious. Jumping baby Jesus. Suck more schlong?
4-quick question here big thinker: did you just tell me cal did not want cj even as a walk on? Are you really this dumb?
5-Seneca Wallace.

Ps to all reading I deserve mad props brining Seneca in

Every good player develops outside of the program he is at. The most over rated thing about college basketball coaches is that they can get a player to the NBA. That is BS. You have to have the talent first, and then you have to push yourself outside of the program. These coaches get very little time with players in the off season and the great players aren't becoming great by putting in the minimum time to develop.
