Been there...I’ve learned that my memory kind of sucks. I could have sworn Gannon played in that final four but he was out injured. Watched it last week...
Garza declares for the NBA
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Late to the thread but the best NBA comparison for Garza is Enes Kanter and teams are slowly but surely moving away from playing guys like that. I don't see an NBA future for Garza, but would be happy to be wrong so that we don't have to face him next year.

Gannon and Hansen were a recruiting class correct?
Lester, BJ, and Roy had CAREERS at Iowa- Garza had a season. I'm not old enough to have watched the other guys but three of them were really good in the NBA. I think Downtown was a JUCO and maybe only played two years?
Someone wanted to know our last AA who left early- there's your answer. Do you want to stack the two programs' results against each other since 2000 so it would be more recent? You finally have a season where you are clearly better and we're just going to forget the last twenty years?
I agree that ISU has the better program. Give Prohm a little more time and that won't be the case.
Maybe- time will tell- certainly there have plenty of times in the last decade where both fanbases felt Fran was near the end. Maybe he’s building something, maybe he caught lightning in a bottle this year. Duke was ready to let K go after 2-3 years but I’ll bet they’re glad now that they didn’t. Different era- if Prohm doesn’t deliver next year, he’ll probably be let go. And if so, ISU bb will return to better times with the next guy, or the next...look at you guys- 20 years after TD, three coaches, and you’re still not where you were in 1999. ISU and IA are not KU or Michigan State- they’ll never disappear but won’t top the blue bloods most years either.
One thing that can’t be argued is which program’s first family is the bigger eye sore on their university.
Steve is a good guy and goes to church. He can't build a roster for **** but he's a nice guy.
I made the original statement about Lopez.
Lopez 7'0", 270 now, was 260 when drafted.
Garza 6'11, 265
Lopez does not and never had great athleticism. Early in his career Lopez was skilled around the basket but did not develop as a 3 pt shooter until he had been in the NBA Several years. His last year in college he did not make a 3, and I don't think he made a 3 until his 6th or 7th season in the NBA.
My point was that if Lopez can play well over a decade and average 17 ppg, be an All-Star, I think there's a role for a guy like Garza somewhere in the NBA and I could see him getting picked in the second round.

Tom Davis was a first class guy and he won more than Fran. Hawk fans have lowered the bar on what they want out of their program while accepting embarrassing behavior. You can’t even claim the end justifies the means. I’m willing to wait this year and see if Prohm can’t build a roster. One more year of IA being clearly better than ISU won’t mean the end of the rivalry. That would still only be 2 out of the last 22.
Think you’re right about Freddy Brown... won a championship with the Sonics. When the NBA finals was on tape delay if you can believe that
