- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Meh. GTO has a better tan than that.So you pretty much look this then
Am I crazy to think Iowa will make up for their lack of talent with their age of their team? Iowa will have one of the oldest rosters in the country
Bohannon - 23 years 10 months
Ash - 22 years 11 months
Connor McCaffrey - 22 years 9 months
Rebraca - 22 years 4 months
Patrick McCaffrey - 21 years 1 month
Murray twins - 20 years 8 months
Toussaint - 20 years 7 months

So cringe-worthy. Just like everything else their account pushes out.
Being knowledgeable isn’t going to keep up with the athletes of Illinois, MSU, Michigan.
So many newcomers I think the list of possibles is longer.
I suspect at least one of Gabe, Hinson, or even Kunc will bump up their shooting % under the new staff, and be all conference level. No idea which one though lol.
And Foster - maybe he shows up with his new wheel and is 5-star stud out of the box.
Jeesh. That is their age as of April 2021. Add another 7 months to each of those for start of 21-22 season. EVERY single one of their returners will be over 20 by end of the year. Comparison: THT turns 21 late this year and every returning Iowa player except Ulis & Perkins is older than THT.
edit: Josh O is a couple weeks younger too.
Agreed, I have not stayed on top of who is coming/leaving amongst the Big 10 schools, but at first glance, I'd have to assume they finish behind everyone you mentioned, plus Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Purdue. Rutgers, Penn State, and Maryland fighting for middle ground. 2 at most go dancing in that group. Minnesota, Nebby, and Indiana at the bottom of the pile. Iowa will be in one of the latter 2 groups. Anyone I'm forgetting?
I'm not sure what you've seen of this staff that makes you think playing in TJ's system will automatically make these guys better shooters. This isn't Fred revolutionizing the college game with space and pace. I mean, I hope you're right. But anyone who thinks they know how effectively TJ can actually coach is not being genuine.
Old, white, and slow only works in slow pitch softball.
THT will have been in the league over 5 years by the time he's Bobo's age.
I'm guessing Barta will need to provide beer with the free pizza to get a crowd. It will probably seem a lot like a slow pitch game...
I do find it interesting that the Hoks BB team is predominately white (starters), and has been for a while. I can only assume young African American recruits notice this and perhaps pick a different school? I'm not saying the Hoks bb team is anti African American, it's just an observation.
I think it speaks more to the tunnel vision Fran has to the way to build a winning program. Not saying he's racist at all just that he's so stubborn
It's hard to get a diverse team made up of your sons and your sons' friends.
I dislike him as much as the next guy but some of you need to take off the cardinal and gold glasses sometimes lol
He's a career 39% shooter (with an all time great center that could pull perimeter defenses in) that also plays no defense.
