The Fran fade

[adjl]

Hey no need to disrespect my home country like that.

No disrespect, I'm just saying he will play overseas and has 0 shot at the NBA.

"I would do the same again" sure illustrates just how serious he is. Don't see that every day. Most people would randomly change their vote.

Wasn't Rob Howe afraid to ask Fran tough questions at pressers and then lashed out at his message board posters wondering why he doesn't?
LOL

 

[TRYHARDER]

No clue

good answer.

Next year we will be an NCAA bubble team. This is assuming we pick up an impact transfer like I believe we will. The following year, tournament team for sure. But so much can change between then and now. Iowa is at their peak, but they have 0 help coming. After Garza is gone it's back to a dumpster fire. All this year did is buy Fran more time. That's good for me!!

Others say Prohm is gone if no NCAA tourney next year.

I know... was just giving u crap.

He is

I think it all depends on the context of the season. If we fall apart near the end and miss the tournament because of that, maybe he gets fired. If we struggle but start coming together towards the end and there is obvious improvement but we barely miss the tournament, I'm not sure firing Steve would be the best thing if there is something there.

That is certainly an...optimistic...view of our future. We were 12-20 and we aren't exactly returning an abundance of talent next year.

It would undoubtedly be the right move. One tournament appearance (first round loss in a very underwhelming performance) in four years. See yah.

To me the big difference between Toppin and Garza is usage rage. Garza was used at a much higher percentage than Toppin. I think they are similar players, but Garza's statistical lead is largely due to having more opportunity.

I mean Garza took 530 shots to Toppin's 387, but Patrick is citing PPG figures...

Toppin is the type of player you win championships with. A really high level athlete/talent.

Garza will get you 25 and 10 on a team that goes 20-12. He’s still really good.

That’s the reason Toppin won. He’s the best player in the country.

While others said the same thing about Fran this year.

Again, we will need a transfer, but the incoming class is outstanding.

You would need Luka Garza.

Would be my guess unless he just misses and it's clear that things are looking up. Budgetary concerns after this virus could come into play as well.

It's a good class. But expecting that class to turnaround a 12-20 team is asking way too much.

Yes I would probably agree. Realistically though, if we go like 19-11 or something I would doubt that'd leave to a firing.

I don't doubt that you may get a "decent" transfer player but if you're counting on a real game changing impact type player you are setting yourself up for disappointment. A starter but not a 1st or 2nd team BIG 12 type player.

 

[awd4cy]

still not as bad. at least you're getting warmer tho!

They were sub 260 if I remember right. That’s pretty bad.

We’ll wait to see who they get.

A lot of unknowns for next season.

I'm not saying Sweet 16 or anything. With a solid transfer we should be on the bubble.
