So the reason Iowa is so young and bad this year is because Fran struggled to recruit in 2014 and 2015?
I can't understand why recruits wouldn't want to play for this guy.

Jesus dude you act like Iowa is 5-23 and the worst team ever. They're average this year, they've been decent to pretty good the last three years.

He has had a couple of good games statistically that I haven't seen, but the games I have seen he puts his head down and tries to bull his way to the basket. He also isn't a great at rebounding or defending the rim. I would rather have Young.I like Tyler Cook and would gladly take him in an ISU uniform.
They're actually pretty damn average, the epitome of mediocrity.No they're not, they're pretty bad actually.

No. They're bad.
Sweet.Oklahoma would be a 1 point favorite over Iowa on a neutral court

How'd they get in that situation?
Seems like awful management and leadership.
Well I'm guessing ISU will be one of the youngest teams in the nation next year, it happens when you have lots of Sr.
Sweet.
I pray that this thread will eventually get back on track. The current crop of trolls have taken it to high-school level discourse.

Excellent points. He seems to have a lot of physical ability, but he has a very mediocre coach that probably won't be able to maximize his potential.Put Cook on this team, with a good coach, and I think you'd see a lot more development and consistency. He's trying to do too much on a "average" team, and it shows.
Under Fran's tutelage I have a feeling he will show marginal development but still be one of their better players the next few years. He could prove me wrong though.
Yes that has certainly hurt us this year. Too many misses in '14 and '15 were bad years recruiting for Iowa.
How are ISU '14 and '15 classes looking for next year. Should have some quality Sr and Jr ready to take over next year, right?
