When I initially saw the news I thought basically the same thing. Next year would be a struggle though

I don’t want to even mention this, but given we haven’t been blessed with much good news in the basketball program lately.....is it possible we’ve seen the last of Jbo in an Iowa uniform?
Let’s say he’s not ready, sits on the sidelines for a year and watches a young Iowa team struggle. Jbo could carve out a roll anyplace he wanted as a grad transfer. Is it possible he wants to come back and play for a team that can contend for a title?
I certainly hope this isn’t the case but I can’t rule it out. I don’t expect it to happen...he’s such a competitor I think watching us struggle would only push him to be the difference maker for us, but it’s not like we haven’t had bouts of bad luck here.

I train and manage sales people. If your best efforts consistently fail then you are not good at selling. The results matter.
He and his staff don't always fail. What shoe store do you work for?
Consistently. Do you want to list all of Fran's recruiting success stories?
You may train salesmen but you don't have a clue. Not sure how your trainees can stand you with such an over-inflated sense of self worth.

I didn't count his sons even though he is clearly the reason they are here and both were highly regarded recruits.
Still a good chance he'll be back if the surgery goes well. Local Dubuque kid had the same surgery for a labrum tear and was back playing soccer after five months and didn't miss a game. But yes, he'll miss the entire off-season workouts and games. But if he did play them and didn't have surgery, his hip would really be messed up. The thing I worry about is that the surgery may be more complicated since he's been playing with this injury for so long already.
Joe only played SF because our starting 2G was coming back. No reason Joe can’t play SG and there isn’t a huge difference in our system.
Barring significant rehab issues, I see no reason why he will miss a single Big Ten game.
Kid is tough AF.

Jordan will be back its May folks 21 year old kid competitive 5 months to practice 7 to meaningful games.
When you have Jordan conceding there is a possibility he could redshirt I cannot accept outsider fans medical assessments as absolutely certain.
Hopefully he comes back in time but if not he needs to be healthy to compete at this level at his size and deserves a chance at a great senior season.
As for the rotation without Jordan, whether JoeW drops down to guard or not it still leaves us with 3 frosh and 2 sophs to cover the 3 perimeter positions. Tough deal for Fran and Iowa fans when this was the big crescendo year we have built to for three years..we thought we would be one of the most experienced teams but now back to one of the youngest again.

Vanderloo is my favorite Abba song.
Was just going to add his name to the mix. I'm not saying either he or Riley Till will be that next super-sub like Nick Baer. However, both have skill sets that could be useful for a few minutes here or there.
first off jbo is clearly taking a redshirt year. He wants a year of being healthy. 2nd, this rehab will take longer than we wish for. I'm familiar with it and it's not like a knee scope cleanup. He'll be redshirting. Patrick is redshirting. He needs a year to catch his body up and is doing that. 3rd, Fran is close to signing 2 transfers, 4th, he has one in the bag that will help but replacing jbo is not going to happen. 5th, my absolute perfect prediction is 5th in the big and 2nd or sweet 16 in the tournament. Quote it, count on it.
I thought I read the quote early in the thread that he was likely to redshirt, if ready to play by the exhibition game. If that is accurate, he has a pretty tight window for rehab to play next year.
This definitely leaves us very thin on the perimeter with very little experience or margin for anyone being out or not being able to contribute. I haven't given up on Fran finding a grad transfer, but I am sure not holding my breath. All these developments should have made it a lot easier to sell playing time to potential grad transfer recruits.

Never been as high on JBO as most others.
Probably the best shooter I've seen at Iowa but kind of lacking everywhere else a pg should effect the game.
We'll see what Joe T and Connor can do for a year.
We'll probably take a step back in the short term, although Wieskamp with the ball in his hands all game might be an improvement) but the experience could lead to a great final year for JBO and Luka.

Yeah, I have zero concern about Joe playing the 2. He has better handles than Moss and comparable to Jok.
Losing Bo is a big blow, but its an opportunity, too. That's the way life is. CJ and Joe T and the McCaffery boys will all have a chance to step up and contribute to taking his place. You never know. . .
It cost Naz Mitrou-Long an entire season- he tried to comeback and had discomfort which forced him to shut it down and seek the medical redshirt. Trying to play high level athletics and compete in the B1G is difficult, and to do it without the off season to prepare makes it that much harder. I wish JBo a speedy recovery. On the bright side it keeps him on scholarship to work towards his Master's Degree (if he is forced to redshirt.)
Have I missed something?
There is no problem with JoeW playing at 2, except PMac would then be the best fit at 3. We don't want any of the 4 bigs playing 3.

Nunge will start. A lot of people about to learn just how good he is.
Recall he started over Garza early their freshman years. He'll be a top 3 scorer for us next year.
No shite, Scurlock. btw, I think we can all agree Iowa has better doctors than the Klownz.
A relative of a player told me that pemsl’s knee is not healing as well as they had hopedI told you guys someone was having surgery!!!!
Not sure I'd believe this or not, Pemsl was on the court at home games that I attended shooting jumpers and he didn't look like he was in any discomfort as far as I could see.
