Eli chooses, Fran loses

[ClockHawk69]

@ClockHawk69 weren't you pretty high on Eli King once? Where is he ranked now for you in your top prospects/gets now?

He was my 3rd want. Behind Bowen and Nickel.

Funny how he has gone from 1st, to 2nd, and now 3rd. Tempering expectations, huh? Rough time in Franny land...you only have 7 more years of this.

Looks like the fancast on rivals still favors Iowa. Fran really needs this one

They'll find a moral victory somehow.

What Hawk fans? They have all left in the last 36 hours.

What are some of these trolls going to do if they can't live on here? Although I am sure they are still here, just rather muted.

They will return with a vengeance as soon as there is the slightest bit of suspect news or when JorBo gets a shoe deal.

Was or is?

Was. He’s heading to ISU.

Was? Isn't he still?

Not on ignore anymore?

Not on ignore anymore?

Never was I'll bet.

He is? That's a huge loss for Iowa as they were leading for him a month ago

They got the budget ulis at least.

Smack talk between two teams that’ll be under .500 next year. I love it

So a Top 10 Team with spots opening up for playing time loses a prospect like this? How does that happen?

Love this quote : “With Iowa, I talk to coach [Fran] McCaffery. He just tells me everything that I love. He says I can come there and play my game with a lot of freedom. He talks about how the team he has is a family and how Iowa has so much to offer academically and athletically.”
Yep, it's family - Fran, Margaret, Connor and Patrick. The parents make the decisions, and their boys get preferential treatment. Hope Kyle understands that, if he wants to go to Iowa, he'll likely be stuck behind Patrick. If he were to redshirt, McCafe's 8th grader would be on the team and suck up some of Kyle's minutes as well.

He's not going to Iowa

Well, since we were terrible last year, .500 will be a big step up for us; for you guys, not so much. It appears to be two programs heading in different directions.

Fran vs Holtman&Cronin in a recruiting battle? Might as well write Kyle on the future hawk roster in marker.
