The Fran fade

Connor and I actually think Rebraca can return and use their COVID year.

For us, every single guy on our roster can return if they’d choose to.

It wouldn't surprise at all, in fact, if there are provisions for a return, they both will - I expect.
But I would be stunned if all our players, at least the starters, returned next year. Brockington deserves to get paid and will.

Gabe will stay. Hunters not going anywhere. I think Kunc stays. Conditt may move on but I know nothing to say definitively. Brockerington makes sense to move on but there’s been talk that he loves it here and loves being the guy. Who knows what he ends up doing.
 
Tough to have a February Fade when your opponent's average ranking during the month is 91.6.
ISU's opponent averaged 49.5 during February.

I actually think Brockington will come back. His only shot at the next level is in Europe unless he finds a right hand and improves his three point shot.

Listened to the narration of the Jersey hangings from Carver, the version I heard said Garza's jersey was FINALLY hung. He graduated last yr. LOL.
Finally, the Garza has come back to Iowa City.
 
I wouldn't sleep on Kris Murray from what I've seen this year. Looks somewhat like his brother did last year, certainly made a significant jump from last year to this, could make the same next year.

Notice I said could. Not will. Hard to imagine he will, but the ability is there and I believe he shoots the 3 decently but could be wrong.
I think he has a better stroke from three, but he doesn't have the athletic ability that his brother has. I think he could average 16/7 next year.
 
Iowa was a 7pt favorite. Tip of my cap, they're playing well.

Agree, Iowa's offense is clicking right now but that display by the Spartans last night was bottom of the big ten bad. This is seriously the softest MSU team I can remember and Izzo looks like he's just ready for the season to be over. Seth Greenberg was absolutely railing on MSU at halftime. The book is out on how to guard Iowa but they let Murray attack on the dribble all night.

That's two in a row.
 
Kris would be the next in line, but I don’t think he’s the same player as Keegan.

1. Ulis / Connor (if he returns)
2. Sandfort
3. Kris
4. Patrick
5. Ogundele
1. Toussaint/Ulis/Bowen (frans best pg recruit yet)
2. Perkins/Sandfort - both have potential to take big step
3. Patrick/Connor
4. Kris
5. Rebracca/Mulvey/ogundele- I can't see ogundele ever being a big contributor

Bowen won’t start. He’ll see Sandfort minutes. Fran doesn’t trust Joe T as much as Ulis. Perkins is going to have to really improve from 3 or else Kris is the only one out there that’s a threat from deep, that’s why I think Sandfort goes there. Patrick and Kris definitely start. And yeah if Rebraca returns he’s obviously at the 5.

If Connor does come back, which I think is a possibility, I think he could end up starting again.
 
I hope Connor comes back for another year. It's fun to watch little thug daddy's boy on the court. As for Jay Bowe, I think he is finally done.

Hearing Connor will come back, he can't pass up that NIL money he is getting. Jobo is trying to since he is signing a deal with Arctic Glacier if he can return.
 
I still can't get over the fact that Iowa was playing the blueblood of its conference, was retiring Garza's jersey, promoting FREE tickets PLUS bring a friend....and still couldn't sell out.

Either it says their fans aren't as great as they claim or that the Fran fatigue of 12 years and never making it past the first weekend has worn out its welcome.
