The Fran fade

[jmb]

They're scared. TJ is killing it, last year was supposed to be their year, JorBo is back, and Fran hates transfers. We are rubbing salt in their wounds.

Their notion is apt. They think we are overly excited. We probably are. We are trying to not be over the top excited. TJ is making that challenging. They are trying to equivocate tj to prohm. Noboby knows. 5 years from now know will be the litmus test.

I hope we give the coach the time needed. As the magic 8 ball says "all signs are positive".

Honestly, this entire off season couldn’t have gone any better for us and any worse for them.

Wonder if he wants to revisit this take?

I've never been impressed with their campus.

I'm pretty sure the center of their campus is a crapper in the back of a 7-11. Would explain a lot.

I love how Hawk fans bash on Prohm and yet he still accomplished more than Fran ever has.

They’re overly excited about a bunch of guards that never saw more than 5 minutes of the floor last year. We’re excited about 2 guards that averaged 10+ points and 5 rebounds in the big 10 and a top 40 recruit.

Iowa landed Austin Ash

Did we just get Deonte Burton 2.0?

 

[madguy30]

Remember Frans peak is round of 32

True...just still seems weird if there's a perspective that a P6 team has reached some pinnacle.

Although they never really have gotten better even with everyone returning.

Program greats?

 

[qwerty]

Program greats?

Austin Ash had entered the portal by then so he has to be relieved that Fran was able to snag him back from that awful place.

 

[Statefan10]

Program greats?

He’s talking about JW and Jordan lol

 

[Rural]

He’s talking about JW and Jordan lol

They deserve all credit for carrying them to the Top 32.

 

[ScottyP]

Program greats?

Who is the other besides Weiskamp?

 

[Statefan10]

Who is the other besides Weiskamp?

They’re 100% talking about Jbo lol

 

[CyTwins]

He’s talking about JW and Jordan lol

That's a weird Twitter account. He does like Brockington though

 

[carvers4math]

Did anybody beat me to mentioning that now ISU has more players who scored more than 9 ppg in the Big 10 than Iowa?

Our new guys did get to inflate their numbers by playing against Iowa’s defense ( or more appropriately lack thereof)

 

[CoKane]

Did we just get Deonte Burton 2.0?

Don't do that. Not that Brockington doesn't look good there, but Burton was so much more than just a freak athlete. Dude had the ability to get hot and just start nailing the stupidest and worst shots possible. One of the few guys you could actually play hero ball with because when he's rolling he's just going to hit everything. If Brockington can actually be Burton 2.0 then we got an insanely great player

Yeah Burton would type in the cheat code about every 6th or 7th game and just turn into Bugs Bunny in Space Jam. He could be literally unstoppable at times.

Yep, remember one of the best examples of that was when we play Gonzaga in his senior year. We were down a bit and then he started making shots. Then he kept making shots. Then he took this real horrible looking shot and I thought he may have lost the plot a little and then THAT one went in.

Nothing from the hawk trolls? What are they doing, waving the white flag or getting the torches and pitchforks ready to head on over to Fran’s? He’s nailed the portal pretty good this year. Sorry, I meant the “portal potty”. Hawk faithful have gotta be impressed with what he has done in the offseason.

Chad and his fellow media hawk butt kissers, are in love with Fran and what he has done. So I guess all is well in Hawkville.

Which I don't get. Fran treats the media like dirt. What has he really done other than had a bunch of his players fall in his lap and a once in a generation talent like Garza? Fran is lucky Luka left Iowa City to develop his game.
