Iowa Football Recruiting

[TheJackWePack5]

If Fran doesn’t make the Sweet 16 this year, then he should go.... no?

Because with that 2020 recruiting class and losing Garza, it should be about his ceiling of a year.

So your point is Prohm sucks, but so does Fran?

Prohm sucks a little bit less than Fran.

If Prohm misses the NCAA this year and Fran has a top 20 team, obviously then Fran will have passed prohm, right?

Top 20 is fairly meaningless IMO. Can you advance past the first round or two and make the Sweet Sixteen?

Fran will have the NPOY runner up and one of the most experienced rosters in the country.

If he’s not top 20 or seeing the Sweet 16 with that, then no he won’t have passed anyone.

Eh. Prohm will have half the number of years that Fran has had. Not exactly an apples to apples comparison.

It's been posted here that Iowa was going to be an Elite 8 team this March. So I anticipate that's worst case next year.

So you must not give Prohm any credit for inheriting a top 10 team with 4 future NBA players on it. I mean he SHOULD have gotten to an Elite 8, or at least had 2 Sweet 16 teams with Fred's rosters.

That's why I'm saying this is Fran's year. If he can't do it this year, then he never will IMO. Iowa will be a LOT worse the year after.

Fran would probably be smart to leave Iowa after this season if he gets a decent offer somewhere. This year will be his peak.... then it will be all downhill from there. He's going to lose Weiskamp after this upcoming season too probably.

Where is Weezer going? G league at best if he doesn’t step up his game.

This is all that matters to Iowa State fans.

Joe faded the last couple months and will get less minutes next year. I like him but he's got a long ways to go now.

Ehh. He did what was asked of him. Got to the sweet 16, then round of 32. Good teams.

Won a Big 12 tourney title with his own roster, has several former players making good money playing the sport. Not mentioning his Top 25 recruiting class for 2020.

That’s more than Fran can say in how many years?

I don't think the NBA... but he's thought about leaving before.... he doesn't really like Fran at all. I just think he will see the writing on the wall that Iowa will be really bad after this coming season.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was able to graduate early and grad transfer out? Or just go G League or Europe.

Forever.

Yeah, I'm rooting for CSP to be just good enough to keep hanging around. We don't need another year like last year, cause he would get kicked to the curb having horrible years 3 out of 4 if he tanks yet again.

Only thing is that I doubt ISU could afford his buyout if he does poorly again next year.

ISU could afford it, but I wont pretend that many schools (ISU included) will lengthen the chains on coaches due to the pandemic.

Hawkeye fans said this about CPR also. Hawkeye fans think ISU has no reserves, best to let you guys think that.

You could very well be right. I think with everything that's going on in the world it will take some thought.

Sukups cut a check and send a moving van?
