What am I supposed to suck? All I see is that UW has done more in the last 20 years than Iowa has in their History.


And we did more in the previous 30 to that. This thing swings back and forth. It's our turn. You all will be average at best.
 
Um is expected some guard attrition and is trying to find a combo guard late. Lester quinones scheduled an official to um for April 29th, iu is also involved. Also rumblings Harland Beverly will be officially visiting um soon.
 
Anyone see that Fox story about Aaron Rodgers being told to stay in his lane by management.
 
Obviously so far Miles is the only head coach moving on. On the assistant side, I know:

  • Purdue's Greg Gary left to become the Head coach at Mercer
  • OSU's Mike Schlage left to become the head coach at Elon
  • Maryland assistant Kevin Broadus looks to be then next head coach at Morgan State
Anyone else moving on?

Gary will be a loss for us as he ran the offensive sets but I think we can upgrade the recruiting side. Possible candidates to replace him are former Purdue assistant and current Creighton assistant Paul Lusk and current Boston Celtics assistant Micah Shrewsberry.

Both of those players are making officials to IU and Michigan. Beverly had a really good game yesterday. Had been said he wants to stay out of the B1G tackle basketball, but seems to be opening more to it.

Harland Beverly is a name I hadn’t heard in a while. I know we were recruiting I’m at SG but then kinda went full force with Rocket and got him instead, which I’m happy with.


Beverly is a good player. I think either school would be very happy with him. If MSU didn’t get Rocket I would want us to go full force for him.

you do know that Davis's team were loaded with white Iowa players, even Lute's teams were led by a pair of white dudes 6'11+ that weren't the fastest or athletic and that pair won a share of the BT Championship and played a major role in that FF run as SR's along white unathetic FR Bobby Hansen who was a slow unathletic White Iowa kid,

you are the biggest bigot on here. Fran's best season was 25 wins tied for 2nd best in Iowa's History. this seasons 23 wins ='s Lutes best season in 9 seasons,


Again, more useless stats that no one actually reads or cares about, so I made sure not to quote them again.

In reference to you calling me a bigot, and then you mentioning White players, it seems to me that you might be the one that has the problems. I didn't mention race once in my post, but you brought it up in your very first sentence.

I mentioned athleticism, which anyone that doesn't have a slanted view on things, can see that Iowa lacks in a big way. I could give two shits if they are white, brown, purple, or orange. We suck at defense because we lack foot speed, and our offense is worthless against teams with quick guards because we aren't quick enough to penetrate against them. And that all leads back to teams being more athletic than Iowa, not more black than Iowa, which is what you inferred, not I.

Dumbass.

go back to Hawkeye Nation you fit that board perfectly.

you need to follow someone else you will never be happy with what happens. 20 years ago people like you didn't like what was happening with Sweet 16's and a perfect record in 9 1st round NCAAT games.

just look what happened, in 11 seasons Iowa went to 3 NCAAT and 3 NIT games,
3 BT season with a .500 or better record. winning just 1 NCAAT game,

yeah they really upgraded the coaching to a higher level of winning all those BT Championships, FF's, Elite 8's and Sweet 16's

Fran has 4 NCAAT trips with 3 NCAAT wins in the last 6 years, 3 NIT trips making the NIT Championship game in his 3rd year, doing this with just 2 top 100 players.

having the 3rd best win total by 4 year starters in Iowa's history, to me Fran is doing pretty damn good considering the mess the program was in,
losing in OT to #2 seed Tennessee showed just how much this team improved since Iowa's last trip to the NCAAT.

YOUR HATRED OF Fran blinds you to how much better this team is and is getting.
 
Cook has declared for the NBA and it appears that he will be gone. this is making a lot of posters on Hawkeye Nation very happy.

Jesus and Eyebrows will lead Iowa to the National Championship next year.

with Cook gone this changes the front court. Nunge at the 5 with Garza at the 4.

the advantage that Garza bring is he has range out past the arc. vs Cook who had a little range out to 10'. Cook shot 64.4% from the FTL. shooting 0% from 3 vs Garza who shot 80.4% from the FTL and 21 of 72 from 3. not that good but good enough to make defense respect his outside shooting ability.

scoring is about even, rebounding about even, Garza is a better shot blocker

Cook was by far was the better athlete. personally I would prefer that Cook come back. but it is not going to happen. so I Iook at who is here and go from there

word is Fran is recruiting 2 grad transfers.

Gil, where are you projecting the Hawkeyes to finish in the Big Ten next year.

was top 5 before Cook left now before any Transfer 6-9. ask me again at the end of August. then everybody should have their rosters set when school starts.

And it's a fair point, but I don't think you need a "star" to be really good. In fact I don't think any team left in the field has a star outside of MSU and Winston. The other teams are very balanced.

Not that it can't be done, getting to the F4 minus a "star", but Tech most def has a star..

Does anyone know how much Dixon's buyout from TCU is?
I found it funny UCLA is asking TCU to reduce it.

What's Hawkeye Nation?
And my hatred for Fran stems from his outbursts on the court, and his lack of success at Iowa. 3 trips to the tournament in 9 years is terrible.
If you're happy with .500 in conference play, good for you, but some of us dont like being average, or less than average.

So easily triggered.
I can't wait to watch Connor shoot 15% from 3 again next year and dribble past the 3 point line twice a game. I love dribbling out 20 seconds of the shot clock in a 10' radius way outside of his range.

Kid needs to focus on baseball, because he isn't going to put in the time in of the off season to improve his game (because he'll be playing baseball, the sport he actually excels at)

just shows how little you know about Fran's success at Iowa these are his winning seasons in the BT
9-9 6th alone NIT
9-9 6th alone
12-6 T-3rd
12-6 T-3rd
10-8 T-5th
10-10 6th alone. SA only had 3.500 or better records in 8 seasons, Lick avg'd 5 BT wins per season. SA was supposed to take Iowa to the next level, yeah right.

as for Connor he started the season 1-16 then finished the season 5-13 for a 6-29 totals end of season 38.5% from 3.

15 % from 3 next season GFY and go follow ISU [if you aren't already]. Lute never had a 23 win season in his 9 seasons.that's including his Shared BT Championship season and FF season. also they played a 18 BT season schedule.

good luck finding this miracle coach that is going to take Iowa to the next level.

and posters claim that I am delusional. you take that distinction by 10 miles.

just read about Fran's contract.
1st it was just extend to finish after the 2024 season. that is when Patrick graduates
2nd his pay increased him from the 10th to the 9th highest in conference pay
3rd the point most are bitching about the buy out was 10 million dollars to 7.9 million dollars for the upcoming season [IF] he gets fired, ZERO if he quits for any reason [taking a new job]

a note on Cook there has been no official word on Cook leaving
 
Knight back on IUs campus for the first time since his firing. As much as I have grown to not being able to stand the guy. I would still be very happy to see him make an appearance at one IU game. I do think the health is a real issue and him calling IU and saying he wanted to be at the baseball game today, is a big step in the right direction.
