The Fran fade

[Mr.G.Spot]

Yeah but he was an Iowa born pasty horseface and Fran couldn't control himself.

I agree with you. I always point that out when I hear franny does things the right way. Now I can say the right way is 1 ncaa tournament win in 10 years???!!!

Utoph was a transfer.

Fran didn't recruit him though

And what Iowa fan can honestly say they are back to the level TD had them 22 years ago? Iowa, their media, and their fans got greedy- they have always thought they equal to a Michigan or Ohio State or Indiana as a bb program and they’re not over time- I clearly remember the phrase “next level” being used when Slick was brought in in ‘99. So for two decades we’ve had to listen to how first, Slick, then Lick, and now Franny are taking them to that “next level”. And it hasn’t happened. It’s about resources and recruiting base. I find it humorous how Iowa’s “next level” plan hasn’t panned out over three guys in 22 years.

I love this phrasing: Slick, Lick and Di*k! The three stooges of Iowa BB.

If Frederick leaves Iowa is losing every starter besides Connor McCaffrey and you're predicting a Sweet 16. Connor McCaffrey. Think about that for a second

There was a feature on the Mosley brothers out of USC today and I'd bet there's Hawk fans that were somehow finding a way to put the McCafferys in the same conversation.

Prick would also rhyme.

If someone transfers, then the accepting school has to welcome him, say they want him and show him around and offer a scholarship - even if he paid for a year. You're right, that's not recruiting. LOL

You have to remember Fran tried doing things the right way, but of all schools in the tournament, that darn NCAA sought out to screw Iowa by putting them in an 11 o'clock 2nd round game against a team that got a 1st round bye.

Fran couldn't even communicate with him. Fran has recruited one transfer and it was Bakari Evelyn

And Jarrod Uthoff

And Jarrod Uthoff

Fran couldn't even speak with Uthoff when he went into the portal. Lol he didn't recruit him

Not officially anyway. I think he sent surrogates to slip him some special oats and apples.

You actually believe that?

I think it’s two. Didn’t they beat Temple or some **** in the first round on a Woody tip in at the buzzer?

Should have eaten that then. Dude looked like he survived Andersonville.

 

[CyTwins]

Are you saying Fran cheated and tampered to get Uthoff?

Did say that? Go back and read what I said.

If Fran even talked to Uthoff in any way he cheated and tampered doing so. He didn't recruit Uthoff

Oh, you're right. He transferred to Iowa and had no idea if franny wanted him. Somehow walked onto the bb team, started and earned a scholarship. Franny never recruited him.

This is correct. Just ask @ClockHawk69 he will confirm
