This guy gets it...and yet he doesn't. Fran isn't going to change...he is in his 12th year and the transfer portal isn't his thing. What he doesn't get is that recruiting in basketball has changed...you now must use the transfer portal if you want to remain competitive...and you must be able to integrate disparate parts into a cohesive team...every year.
Fran got lucky the past couple of years with Garza...without Garza they don't even sniff the dance. And yet, let's sign Fran for a 6 year contract...
Uthoff, Jok, and Weezy all fell into his lap too. Fran's hits on the recruiting trail include Garza and Cook. Garza had to leave Iowa City to work on his game and Cook was such a wasted talent in Iowa City, Fran didn't know how to use him. Lets get serious, Fran has caught some serious breaks while in Iowa City.
