    Wisky

    Because as LeftyLarry pointed out Wiscy plays with heart and grit. Have you witnessed any of that out of Iowa lately?

    Any elite transfer or juco guards available?

    So would I!

    TCU officially hires Dixon from Pitt....

    Fran will fit right in, won't he? You are correct about the conference realignment. Pitt's success has diminished somewhat since moving to the ACC. I read where Dixon, who like to recruit the Northeast, has had trouble attracting the Northeast players since Pitt left the Big East.

    Any elite transfer or juco guards available?

    Why so Fran can burying on the bench?

    Question on Tyler Ulis recruitment

    Of course, you forgot to mention that he was on a then undefeated team that reached the Final Four last season. Tyler Ulis is a great player and will play in the NBA, but if he could not lead Kentucky any further in the tournament than the Round of 32 then what makes anyone think he could have...

    Potential Pitt Opening..McCaffery?

    Did Brad Underwood leave SFA for Okie State?

    TCU officially hires Dixon from Pitt....

    Fran is not the candidate for the Pitt job (as much as I would like to see him go). Fran is a rebuilding type of coach and there is really nothing at Pitt to rebuild. Pitt will be looking for the guy that can get them to the next level.

    Good teams vs. our guards

    Just curious, how much more time does Fran need to build a team that can compete in March? Outside of an NIT run a few years ago Iowa has not really competed in March. Beating an undersized Davidson team or being gifted by a no call into beating Temple is not competing. Fran had 4 years to take...

    ESPN: ISU had easiest path to Sweet 16

    Really pathetic chastising a school because they played the teams in front of them. Did you like it when people were questioning Iowa's football success because of the soft schedule? Let it go.

    We went 0-7 this year against teams that are still alive

    Why would you expect more, after all we are talking about Iowa. (Sarcasm) It sure does not look as impressive when you look below the surface.

    Looks like every team uses Transfers

    You are correct, Fran wouldn't even put Woody on the bench against Nova even when it was apparent early in the game that Iowa needed to go smaller and more athletic.

    Too early for the Vast Fran Hatred...

    I understand your point concerning good teams will pull back; however, good teams also show up for big games and put up a reasonable amount of fight. Iowa did not put up a fight and Fran did nothing to help his team compete and that is inexcusable, from my perspective. I just want to clarify...

    Too early for the Vast Fran Hatred...

    Iowa was number 3 this year and was mentioned as a good bet to get to the Final Four in this wide open year. Iowa beat the then number 1 ream in the nation by double digits, so it is not like they should have been drilled by Nova. Had November not backed off Iowa would have lost by 40. Iowa...

    Too early for the Vast Fran Hatred...

    I am grateful to Fran for getting Iowa back to relevance; however, Fran has hit his ceiling and he has taken Iowa as far as he can. All one needs to do is look at his career. I am not going to apologize for believing Iowa is capable of more.

    Too early for the Vast Fran Hatred...

    Isn't it amazing that these teams always look like Final 4 teams against Iowa. Gonzaga last year, PSU in the B1G tournament last year, Illinois this year. Am I detecting a pattern?

    Too early for the Vast Fran Hatred...

    In my opinion, it can be easier for a new coach like Fran coming into a program like Iowa, 6 years ago, because you are selling a kid on returning to previous heights. However, Fran now has to sell his track record at Iowa. Fran, "if you come to Iowa I will guarantee you mid-season success that...

    Too early for the Vast Fran Hatred...

    I did not read all of your posts in this thread. Having gone back and reading it, it does not change the reality that Fran will not attract kids like Ben Simmons. We need a George Ravelling type recruiter here. Iowa was able to do it before; therefore, we know that it can happen again. Fran has...

    Too early for the Vast Fran Hatred...

    Prior to last year LSU had not been in the tournament since 2009. LSU has been a "Dumpster Fire" for years, but yet they were able to get Simmons. Kids like Ben Simmons will not play for guys like Fran, so get used to it. Fran has never been able to recruit the difference maker. George Ravelling...

    LOL, thanks for being a good sport.

    why can't we play defense like UNI

    UNI has a defensive identity. Jacobsen has them playing the Pack Line defense, which is based on team trust. The basic tenets of that defense is "do not give up base line, do not give up straight line drives, on ball pressure with help in the gaps, and they must close out efficiently. Iowa does...
