Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[Clonefan32]

If they're already spending NIL money on their basketball team, I'm struggling to imagine who they would have spent it on.

You better have deep pockets when you are recruiting against the big boys:

Amazing Fran has had the (limited) level of success he has with teams (mostly) made up of his own offspring, lifelong Hawkeye fans, and legacy recruits. He's lucky the occasional "outsider" (e.g., Cook and Garza) has come in and been good enough to pull his chestnuts out of the fire (though never to accomplish anything truly memorable).

Fran has greatly benefited from a really weak B1G since he's been there too. Dr. Tom put up similar results in what was a stacked conference while Fran has caught a ton of breaks.

How did SDSU get to their current level if Pharaoh is their first top-100 recruit in nearly a decade?

"Cheating mother ****ers!"

Nothing memorable?

The win over Grand Canyon the Garza teams achieved was pretty memorable

Iowa adding to their guard #depth. This is their 4th walk-on not including Brauns and Mulvey

Steve Fisher and Brian Dutcher are both really good.

Plus, you have to take recruiting rankings with a big grain of salt at that level. Lots of times they get early commits that the services kind of give up on and don't rank them to where they really fit.

It's just like every Alabama football recruit is a 4-star simply for committing to Alabama

Have they released his practice video yet like they did with Nimmers? Can't wait to see what round this walk on will be drafted into the NBA

I thought you were only allowed three walk ons. Did one walk off?

Four is allowed to achieve Derpth.

They should have clarified that it was 6 bounce passes in a row.

Somebody has to fill Connor’s shoes.

This guy sounds like a pro scout. I wonder what he thinks of the 60 year old guy warming up before his league game at the YMCA draining 3s without even jumping.

Niang is making good money these days

They, Iowa, will be tested this year...some strong non-cons (ISU, Creighton, Oklahoma, Seton Hall/USC) and early BIG battles with Purdue and Michigan.

I could see Harding playing a lot this year actually. Fran set things up to be thin in the backcourt. The Sandfort's can theoretically help out some but Iowa only has 4 true scholarship guards on the team.

Odd roster construction. Can ill afford any type of injury to the few capable primary handlers Perkins, Dix or Bowen.

I actually think this might be an insight into Fran's recruiting strategy. Doesn't want to sit around a gym too long so if you can hit 6 straight 3s you've got yourself a schollie.
