Probably still comparing Bobo's stats last night to Morris in some random game or something though, right?

Neither of these 2 are a point guard.

I assume Fran will cut someone and try to bring in a pg, even if that means bringing a felon into his program for the second time.

With adding Wieskamp, Fran Jr 1, and Frederick to JBo, Moss, and Daley they’ll at least have guards next year as opposed to a team that is 75% power forward. Fran may be the worst at the GM side of coaching in all of P5. He’s the GM that has a decent eye for the undrafted free agents, but whiffs in the early rounds while drafting 3 running backs with average grades in the 1st Round.

Not many HS PG out there for Fran to target and he won't go after a grad transfer

Not many felons to target either, but that didn’t stop him the last time he was desperate.

I remember Ross P and Travis saying on their post game football callin show that it was going to be a very special hok basketball season, and they were considering an after game call in show.

Okay this is the best part. This will NEVER happen. You know who the PG is right? He’s not going to Fran his own son. No way that family is creepily thick.

No worse than 13-5 and 15-0 non-conference. DanL53 is awfully quiet lately. He thought Iowa had up to 6 future NBA players. BTW, what happened to twin tower rim protecters?

The realists expected 22.

 

[Rural]

".... there’s definitely some on the way in the recruiting Class of 2018 — with one of the best guards in Iowa high school history, Joe Wieskamp, and Kentucky sharpshooter C.J. Frederick ..."

So, how's that gonna fit in an 11-man rotation? ?

Ahem, that "family friend" Kentucky sharpshooter.

 

[madguy30]

Gonna be just short of that...in losses.

 

[nfrine]

If they win their next 2 games, the Hoks will be 5-13. Buddy had the right numbers.

And yet in the last 10 days or so the "great young talent" thing has slowly been making a comeback.

The young talent thing works for a group of freshman but imo using it with sophomores that have all played a ton the previous season doesn't work, especially in the current era where teams are starting over so often.

The 'young' thing certainly won't work for me next year if ISU doesn't improve. There's ample experienced talent...I've actually been bummed that they haven't been better the last few weeks.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Nebraska making a great case for the tournament by losing at Illinois lol. Pretty sure there’s a rule that if you lose to a team that Iowa beat, you’re out.

 

[cycloneG]

Nebraska now has to win out and get at least one in the big ten tournament to have a chance.

 

[cycloneG]

That lose to Illinois really hurt their RPI.

I bet they need more than one.

I wonder if Fran knows this

"When a good player such as Cordell Pemsl gets only 2:09 of action in the second half, you've got too many big men."
