nope but if Patrick would walk on and take 1 in the 2020 class Fran could take another. the question is who is left?
1. MSU / UM / Purdue
2. OSU / Maryland
3. Illinois / Iowa
4. Wisconsin / Rutgers
5. Northwestern
6. Penn State / Minnesota
7. Indiana
8. Nebraska

NO ITS NOT
Connor was going to RS till Williams quit right before the season began and Connor got his scholarship.
that's the advantage a coach gets when his son's play for him. the good news is they were both 4*'s by Rivals and ESPN.
I doubt it but wish we’d get a point guard who can get to the rim on his own
He's talking about the potential impropriety of giving Fran a raise explicitly to reimburse him for Patrick's education. That, done so explicitly, would be cheating. We need to offer this as a hanshake/wink and freeze Fran's pay until the statute of limitations expires now that we've shared our plans in writing in public.
We need someone to can create his own shot and slash. We would be dangerous with a guy like that.
All the draft boards have him as a 2nd rounder at best, I believe. I don’t think he’s going to improve upon that though, but at the same time why get lost in the D league shuffle when you can come back and put up huge numbers for another year.
Agreed. I hope Joe T can do some of that and Wieskamp can I think also he just needs more of a chance to show he can
Yeah, IDK what happened, but y'all hired Barry away from Iowa (not directly from Iowa) in 90 and then Bennett and then Bo and it woke shit up seemingly permanently. That 70s Show came along to replace Happy Days and America was inundated and infatuated with Wisconsin again. Wisconsin is in an enviable position. Only P5 in a decent sized state and you're less whimsically fickle than Minny folk. Is Marquette the only legit threat (apart from out of state blue bloods) to you guys getting in state BB talent? I'm not terribly familiar with the true mid-majors in Wisconsin. Northern Iowa has a guard (A.J. Green) who would be great for either Iowa or ISU, but his dad's a coach at UNI and he went to high school in Cedar Falls. I imagine that's the only kind of thing that could stop Wisconsin from getting an in state guy over the non-Madison UW's.
Fran used to have a long rotation and tend to sub out hot hands.
He didn't do a lot of that the past season.
However, I hope he revert back to his old habit next season with so many players to choose from.

UW hasn't had a lot luck getting top in-state recruits, besides Dekker. Marquette has landed their shares. And a few more simply went elsewhere, Stone, Looney, etc. We mainly recruit kids who fit our style. And we have some lucks in Minnesota.
We've mixed D a lot under Fran over the years (something I like, I remember it being fun as a youth player switching between zone and man and I only ever played basic 2-3 or 1-3-1/3-2, no matchup and no quirks in 2-3 or 1-3-1/3-2). With our roster (a lot of tweeners in talent, a lot of guys with offensive skills who can't consistently beat opponents in man) we have to do that effectively to try to create TOs and run and move the ball or force opponents to take open shots they don't prefer with their personnel.
For example, Jordan Bohannon can get an awkward shot off when he needs to against mostly anybody and the odds are better than average that that shot is going in, but he can't win consistently defending a P&R. We need his scoring, but he's already in a defensive mismatch guarding most Big Ten guards (six nothing, less than 200 pounds, not slow but not fast, not quick but not unquick). Forget switching on a big.
He was and still is lazy as fvck, which is why he hasn’t done shit in the NBA. That team had some potential, but every asshole wanted the ball to score. We needed some role players on that team.
Yea I don’t get worked up over missing one and dones. Don’t think you guys did much that year and Ellenson and Marquette really didn’t do shit.
You put Purdue at 5 ? They played 4 freshmen at significant minutes this year. Aaron Wheeler is a stud.
No Turge cuddles a little too much. Bo would have been great for him. Broke him down mentally and psychologically early and then build him up, so he wouldn’t have been so soft.
He has Iowa at 4th before we even know if we get Cook back ("depending on who leaves"). It's hawkit. He has a proud reputation to maintain.
Do we have any regulars? I saw @ScarletnGrayBuck post earlier. OSU had a great season for what their expectations were.
@Monorojo for one I've seen on the basketball board. If you wish to be obnoxious with this, I can certainly think of OSU football board posters to blow up with a notification.
Not really.@ScarletnGrayBuck[/USER said:
Both schools are football schools.
Neither school has significant presence on the basketball board.
