***Big 10 Thread***

[FOREVERTRUE]

Nader and Burton disagree with you...

And Shayok and Jacobson. If you want to look to other teams look to Kansas and Malik Newman and countless others in various programs.
A year sitting out is not necessarily a year wasted by any means.

I am not either, but you’ve got to admit he’s talking like a person who is going to transfer.

I took his response as more of a disappointing season that has weighed on him and it was a stupid question to ask at that time.

If a reporter were to ask the same question to Lindell or Cam after our loss in the Big 12 tourney I'd expect the same type of non-answer because of the timing of the question.

If it's not a Big 12, Big 10, ACC, SEC, Pac 12 I consider it a mid-major. I'll give you the Big East isn't your typical mid-major but with it's current configuration it's more of a mid-major than a P5.

OK, wow. This is so wrong. The Big East is nowhere near a mid-major by anyone's definition.

There is no smoke at all about Cam or Lindell leaving like there is with Cook

Two more ISU examples for @isufbcurt

 

[herbicide]

Doubtful. But in my opinion he doesn't have any real options but to stay. He isn't going to the NBA and he isn't going to waste a year sitting out because he transferred.

I hate Iowa more than almost anyone, but let's use some common sense here.

I tend to agree with this take, but then again, Shayok...

 

[isufbcurt]

Ok you convinced me he's gone

 

[Hawkmi1987]

I'm guessing he maybe goes the Jok route and gauges interest from the NBA and when he finds he has absolutely zero shot of getting drafted he returns to Iowa for his Junior season. Maybe that's just wishful thinking though.

 

[FinalFourCy]

I think he stays as well, as picking Iowa in the first place suggests career impact is not factored into his decision making, but I definitely think he would benefit from transferring to a major program.

Lol. No.

[WastedTalent]

No one is trying to convince you he's staying, just pointing out your reasons are wrong.
If he does end up staying, it's because he's committed to Fran and the hawks, not because he doesn't want to sit out a year.

Is it a **** move for someone to tweet him some links from hawk boards the last 12 hours?

I'm a little surprised at how naive most Iowa fans are to how JuCo recruiting works. There seems to be a belief that there is a wealth of unsigned talent out there after the season. It's not impossible, but it's very late in the game for worthwhile JuCo transfers.

The talent at the juco level in both basketball and football isn't as good as it used to be.

 

[rholtgraves]

Well I wonder what the plan is then? He left that part open.

I make a habit out of not tweeting at 18-22 year old kids, especially ones that I don't know personally. But you do you guy.

I think it's a **** move for any fans from any school to tweet at college athletes. Leave them alone.

YeahBuddy does it all the time. Disgusting

Of course I'm not doing it. I don't even have Twitter. Just pointing out it's extremely funny how fast Iowa "fans" will turn on a player.
This is the reason why speculation about specific players transferring is frowned upon. (rholt)
