Bohannon
- Thread starter GOHOX69
- Start date
Jordon may not be the most athletic guard playing collage ball ( Captain Obvious), but name me one other guard playing this game that can match his 133 game starts, 492 field goals, 364 triples with a 40% shooting percentage, has 639 assists and over a 3 to 1 assist to turnover ratio. Oh, and also is 9th on Iowa's all time scoring list with 1,638 pts and counting.
I'll wait to see you're response......
He probably won't ever make an NBA team, but he's a hell of a player none the less.....nothing wrong with being cocky when you have the stats to back it up.
Here’s the actual quote:
“I feel like I’m one of the best point guards in the country, and I feel like my teammates around me feel like that as well. So I’m going to do whatever I can to be one of the best point guards in the country and do whatever I can to help our team win.”

Sounds pretty confident with several shakes of spicy cockiness....much better than bland and cold, we'll take it.
Are you grandpa's agent or Jordan himself?
He speaks the truth. Bohannon is a darn fine college basketball player.
Yes but it's still fun to yank someone's chain. I have less of a problem with his skills than his arrogance and nil bs which is why I believe he's back. I think he's had enough eligibility and should have left after the tournament last year; the one in which he disappeared.
Meh, doesn’t bother me one iota. He’s a capitalist and a good player. Nothing wrong with that.
As long as he isn't poison on the team it matters little to me. Let's see how they do. I find it amusing that a 7 month old thread got resuscitated.
All Hawk fans were disappointed at the end results of the Oregon game, but as Fran has said, Oregon was the better team that night. Again, I'm not trying to minimize the results of the production of Bohannon that night as there were 2 other Hawks that also failed to show up in that game in Connor and Fredrick.
College Basketball has given players that played last year the opportunity to play an additional year because of Covid and Jordan took that opportunity.
Hawk fans may very well appreciate his loyalty to Iowa by the end of the season and I for one am glad he decided to return for his super senior season.
Any inside info on whether JBo has his alcoholism under control? Connecting a few dots over the past year or so, quite reasonably, would lead one to think it's been a problem for him in the past.
To me, he looks depressed in his media day photos. Not a good sign. I hope it doesn't continue to be a problem for him

You got "depression" from a still photo? Uuummm, OK. Think how depressed he'd be if had a real job instead of playing College and Basketball for 6 years. Sounds like one hell of a gig to me.
Wow, doc your incredible, diagnosing a medical condition from Media Days photos. How does it feel being all knowing, all seeing , any hints on the lottery ?
I have a distaste for arrogance as well.....but it appears to me that JBO is just extremely confident. That is a fine line, but the difference I see is that JBO is openly confident without being a dick (arrogance) directly towards other people....and I think a team needs some of that level of confidence. Particularly a young team...I think they need a guy who projects that attitude specifically when going into big games, loud arena's, and facing some crude fanbases (ISU fans will be all over JBO-which might distract them from other players). It takes extreme confidence (and maybe arrogance) to want the ball in the closing seconds of a tight game by a player who KNOWS they are going to make the shot.....as fans it might be unrealistic for us to expect that performance and not expect at least a degree of "confidence" to go along with it.
I don't believe NIL was THE reason he returned.....it was probably a factor, but if Fran hadn't asked him to return for a specific reason I don't believe that he would be on this Iowa team.
You do remember that Iowa had to play a first round game just 2 days before the Oregon game.....right, and Oregon got off easy by not playing their first round game because some of their opponent players got Covid. If you think that didn't play into the final outcome think again.
Granted Oregon was the more athletic team and yes maybe they could have beaten Iowa 10 out of 10 times, but Iowa also lost Jack Nunge late in the year which could have made a difference. Anyway water over the dam, a new season is on the horizon and looking back to last year has nothing to do with this years team.
I did forget Oregon didn't play but I was at the game in question.
Oregon wins 100/100 times.
Baylor/Zags was our game at the varsity level with us being Baylor 😅kidding...
Seriously, we looked like a high school team, athletically, vs. a D1 big time program just like the title game.
And maybe people don’t realize Connor and JBO were so sore they could barely walk.
They, including CJ, could have all been at 100%, it's still 100/100.
CJ would have helped but not THAT much, lol.
100 out of 100 is an incredible exaggeration…not even close to accurate.
Nah, I think after the 2nd or 3rd time watching his guards get owned Fran would have stopped letting Connor, CJ, and JBO on the floor.
All Iowa needed to do was put defenders at the guard spots on the floor with Luka and Iowa becomes the better team.
But that was true of the whole season.
Oregon was no where close to the most "athletic" team Iowa played that year.
Theres really nothing special about Oregons "athleticism". They got destroyed the next game.
Probably closer to 60/40.
People have a tendency to draw some ridiculous conclusions based on single games.
Despite decades of evidence to suggest it never works like that.
Blowouts are usually outliers.
Lol, who cares what happened next, they destroyed us. Not even a contest.
Our game against Oregon was embarrassing and if you didn't see that you must have been watching a different game.
Nunge would not have made any difference---Garza put up 42 pts and was only one scoring. You can't expect better result with Nunge at Center. The other alternative, Nunge at PF the defense was even worse.
Garza and Weezy were about as good a pair as your are going to get at Iowa. Problem is the the other 3 starters couldn't score or play defense and were outclassed athletically.
JBo is good passer, good ball handler, and can stretch a defense, He also is easily taken out of his offense by a bigger/more athletic defender. JBO defense is about as bad as it gets for a PG, simply because he has two reconsructed hips and he is too small and too slow to defend the PG position whih is typically run by elite athletes on other teams.
I have a different perspective on Nunge....he was clearly the most mobile and athletic guy on the team that was 6' 9" or taller (I think he was 6' 11")....and he could therefore be a threat to block shots, rebound, and run the floor at a high level, which is exactly what we needed in this game. Would he have made the difference in our losing....no way. Would he have made A DIFFERENCE, I believe that he 100% would have.
Yeah it was embarrassing. Ive watched it quite a few times. Especially Bohannon.
But it doesn't change the fact that Oregon was nothing special, athletically or otherwise.
No more athletic than the majority of the big ten or high major conferences in general.
Which will make it interesting to see what they do with Bohannon and Connor(if he plays) this season. How does the team cover the issues that those two have when either, or worse, both are on the court?
Yeah, because every student that goes downtown and gets super drunk in Iowa City has a "problem". Jesus Christ man.
I recall hearing that at one time JBo had tweeted that he had been sober for a few months. It seemed to be a big enough deal for him to tweet about.
Word is that he's been pretty notorious at the bar scene over the years.
Then, he falls off the wagon and gets knocked out for drunken behavior.
Again, connecting the dots, one could reasonably assume that JBo's maybe had some issues with the sauce. Hopefully it's behind him and he's healthy going forward
