Carlo was ruled academically ineligible after the first semester but was showing real promise. Great on ball defender. Floyd used Shelby as a “fouling specialist” a few times. Lol.
The Fran fade

I remember the fouling specialist tactic a few times. It really got in some players' heads. I still don't remember Shelby though.
I’ve seen nothing to suggest that Fran would slow play a player if you’re suggesting he was doing that to make sure he came back. Fran has many faults but he’s a players coach first and foremost. Kris most definitely wasn’t as good as Keegan last year (obviously) and there’s only so many shots to go up coupled with his foul trouble I think that held back his minutes and playing the same position as Keegan.
I'm not suggesting it but it has been brought up and it will continue to be a question if he blossoms this year.
I’ve not seen that suggested anywhere but here.
Oh, I can guarantee there will be hawk fans even asking the question if he turns out to be first team big 10 this year. "Why didn't Kris get more minutes last year instead of the king of bounce passes?"
He did get more minutes than Connor but also led the team in fouls. Kris showed a lot of skills but he wasn’t a great ball handler last year. I would’ve liked to see both Kris and Keegan on the floor more at the same time last year though.
If he is a first team all big ten player this year then Fran was an absolute dumb ass for bringing him off the bench
It's always fascinating when discussing Iowa bball how defense is almost never considered. It's beyond an after thought.
I think Keegan coming off the bench two years ago worked alright for Keegan last year.
Kris isn’t near the athlete that his brother is. I don’t expect Kris to put up anywhere close to the numbers that his brother did.
