The Fran fade

You must be too young to remember the whole Larry Eustachy saga. Students and fans showing support to Larry by hanging out on his front yard. Wanting him to stay as coach even though he's been partying with students, drinking on the sidelines, and belittling some players.

Wait, Larry was drinking whiskey or vodka while the game was going on? I honestly hadn’t heard that.

Not too young to remember Larry. Although maybe too young to recall the hanging out in front yard. Larry had his flaws and most Cyclone fans today would tell you that. I don't see many hawk fans owning up to Frans more shameful moments

It is the brand they have embraced, and while puzzling that they've chosen to embrace that, it is very amusing from the outside looking in. I would hate to be a fan of that, though. They say loyal sons forever true, but if ISU had a coach that carried himself the way Fran does, with those antics, it'd be a tough sell for me. This fan base basically crucified Steve Prohm who had a much better demeanor and ability to compose himself than Fran. We also fired the last 2 coaches who liked to have tirades on the sidelines, granted not specifically for that reason.

Couldn't agree more. Prohm didn't work out on the court but I also respected his integrity and how much he wanted his guys to succeed as young men. He proved it when he benched McKay...could have easily played him and picked up a couple more wins but he had to stick to his principles.

EIU pushing to get a commitment from a 6’ PG Beating out CSU, Drake and Loyola. Sure he’s underrated or we’ll be told as much…
Gotta give Fran credit though his recruiting is 100% on brand.

6 foot 155 lb white PG without a P6 offer.. I mean you look at his profile and Iowa sticks out like a sore thumb because there are like 12 low major teams on there.

Top 50 player. Surprised I didn’t see that update with a link on here?

Because the kid was a Hawkeye at birth. Doesn’t matter if he just happens to be a top 50 player or top 150. It’s exactly the kid Fran goes after and it’s hilarious. Hawkeye fans and offspring is what makes up Iowa Basketball

He is #51 in 2024 class so give him his due, but like others have stated, Two years to go, I would expect him to slide some. Probably stay in top 100 but closer to 80 than 50.

That’s what I thought. Really solid recruit. Was just confused where the Top 50 comment was coming from. Who knows, maybe he can become a Top 50 recruit at some point.
