By years end 2017 I think Iowa will be better than this year....

This is my prediction, read it and wheep! Should be able to be much more athletic on defense, scoring should be just fine, if Williams can continue to develop and Bohannon can come in and not get lit up on defense Iowa could be a major surprise. The ceiling is the key here and I think it is MUCH higher than we've ever had before under Fran. Jones needs to come back 100% as well and will be a big key to this team coming together.

While i always thought we would be better once we lost AW and JO. I can't say that about next year. However, I don't think the drop will be as significant as some would think.
Especially in the middle. We will lose a little on D in the middle but basketball is a +/- game and we will make up for it everywhere else.

Let's hope so.

It was literally in a different millennium the last time Iowa got past the first weekend. I think the Clones have done that twice in the last 3 years.
