The Fran fade

[Thinker]

Lol this is just how Iowa media members treat their fans. Just like Barta does. Like they aren’t capable of doing research on their own to find out facts. This kid is not a 4 star. And no, Iowa fans who will get mad at me for stating a fact, this doesn’t mean the kid is bad.

Jesus, he is on the 247 site, 247 composite has him as a 3.

Lol I know he honestly is probably looking at his old ranking.

Lol I know he honestly is probably looking at his old ranking.

If they are exclusively to 247 then the 247 ranking makes sense. To be honest he is the best PG recruit as it comes to offers fran has even landed. I am still pissed JBo is back and not a huge fran fan, but I really like what he did with Bowen coming in.

 

[baagoe]

Lol are we really gonna act like calling a guy a 4 star when only one service has him listed as one is something we don’t do all the time

Bowen seems to be a nice get. I’m not going to make fun of a top-150 recruit because those guys can end up working out really nicely in the right situation. We’ll have to see if Fran uses him correctly because he has had a terrible track record with PG’s.

I will not, however, act like he’s a top 75 player in the nation or say that he’s a 3 star. Yes, he had a lot of offers. A couple were not commitable. Northwestern and Maryland were the schools Iowa pulled him away from.

If you ever see me classify a player by their ESPN rating, punch me in the face lol.

There’s trash, there’s hot trash and then there’s ESPN rankings.

What do you think is scariest:

A. Being within an eye-poke of Dinglebury?
B. Sitting at the McCaffrey table at Christmas?
C. Having to do PR for Gary Barta?

I heard Mad Fran called Santa Claus a "cheating motherf***er."

So finally some diversity? Preferable to JorBo hair.

Watching the Jazz right now. In one week Jorbo will be the same age as Donovan Mitchell.

6 7 and 180? Fran likes the scrawny and pasty white dudes.

 

[IASTATE07]

ESPN ranked 4 star. Not close on rivals or 247.

247 has him as a 4 star and the 82nd ranked recruit.

You mean in women's basketball?

ISU and Iowa will both make the tourney in WBB. Unluckily Frau Bluder has Iowa in a good spot.
