Eli chooses, Fran loses

[JP4CY]

Kinda, I like that we kick the crap out of ISU and Nebby by 30 and beat Wisky 3 times in a year. On the other hand more athletic teams beat us more times than not if we cannot shoot it well. Next year will be a different type of team as we all know. So it will be another 2-3 years before I can say if I want him or not. This will be the most athletic group at Iowa under Fran the next few years. Only wish Cook would have had this type of athlete around him.

So it takes you 13/14 years to know if you want your coach?

My point was that Fran has done exactly what a lot of fans would like for their basketball teams in general, make the tournament a lot. The issue is that he hasn’t done anything else besides that. Anything at all. So he’s not bad enough to fire, but he isn’t good enough to succeed past where he’s gotten.

It’s certainly a conundrum.

Owning Prohm got a lot of heat off of Frans back. They'll accept mediocrity as long as they are better than us. He had fans calling for his head in seasons where they accomplished just as much as this season, except they lost to us.

From what I am hearing lipsey and king are very much both in play for us

Otz and Green are really sticking it to their former bosses if they pick up Lipsey and King.

How so?

How so?

Because Ben and Fred both think they have a right to sign these guys? I don't know, but this is why I don't get all the Cyclones who say they are fine with Fred at Nebraska. Fred is 3 and 1/2 hours from Ames and competing for the same recruits. Why is that "not a big deal" for someone who "loves" the Cyclones?

I mean Fred isn't going to out recruit TJ and nobody worked for Ben Johnson so he wouldn't be a former boss

Lipsey's only other offer is from Nebraska. I don't think the new staff at Minnesota has offered.

King has a UNI offer, among a few others.

Those “others” are Stanford, Iowa, Marquette and Minnesota

Not going to lie, I worry about Shaka Smart recruiting at Marquette

Fred just pulled in a 5* though. He will get his guys.

For Iowa or are you saying we should be worried?

Bryce Mcgowens wouldn’t be going to Nebby if it wasn’t for his brother Trey being there.

TJ is a better recruiter than Fred and it's not really close

Fred needs TJ as his bagman again.

Athletic spiders all. I guess they haven't historically been very athletic.

Sorry, most people eat breakfast after they wake up. My bad.

I'm more of a granola bar or two at work, around 9-9:30. I just don't feel like eating right away when I wake up.
