Charlie Moore

Love your optimism, skydog. What is said in the media however; is often MUCH different from what's actually happening behind the scenes. I do however, hope you are right.
So true. What's happening outside public consumption could very well be much different. Here's hoping...
It's not uncommon at all for a recruit to not waste one of his 5 official visits on a school that he has already visited a number of times.

Cal lost their point guard so Charlie would get to play early. Cal wasn't even looking at him until he blew up in Vegas. Fran is so good at identifying talent. He offered this kid before anybody even considered him. Disappointing Charlie doesn't consider Iowa an elite opportunity. We'll be fine without him but would have been better with.
Not sure when Fran is going to be able to come out from under the shadow of the years of lousy Iowa basketball before he became coach. You never know with kids, but Fran seems to still be struggling to close when recruits have long drawn out recruiting decisions, especially if their stock is rising during that period. Recruits seem to like what the hear about Iowa basketball, but if they don't decide fairly quickly, they get wowed when schools with more recognized success come calling. Moore might not be gone yet, but it sure sounds like Iowa has moved backwards in his list of favorites.
It's really rare to see an elite recruit sign with a team that he didn't take an official visit to. Especially when they have the whole, "Not sure who will get my last visit" thing. Nothing sounds promising with Moore. If the reports are close to true, it may be time to move on from him now so you don't lose out on someone else.
Probably means he has a solid line on someone ready to commit...Happened earlier, maybe the same here.
Hard to believe that a kid that had an excellent visit 6 weeks ago now is out of the picture. I feel Charlie is going to Illinois.
Was hoping for that lightening quick guard but looks like we'll miss out again this year.
Will Fran move on to Bohannon or wait awhile? Early in the process so who knows.
A Cook commit down the road would still bring a smile to my face.

If we can't get Moore, I hope we hold on to scholarship until spring there will always be transfers and high schoolers that fly under the radar. I think Fran has some point guard options until the best fit comes along.
Moore=punk, im sick of these guys that think they're toooo good for the hawks. Thanks for wasting frans time.
Safe to assume the Simpson ship has sailed as well? I don't understand wtf is missing for some of these guys. Fran's getting solid recruits, just can't find that dynamic pg. We have a starting spot open, identified guys under the radar early, showed the love and they just bail for programs that are certainly not head and shoulders above us. I'm honestly baffled by this.
Good news, supposedly down to us and Florida for Cook? Take that with a grain of salt though. I predict we finish 2nd.
All of a sudden I really like DanL's very reasonable and well stated argument against Charlie Moore.
But he was just playing devils advocate ,er he was just trying to cause Hawkeye conversation in August er,
That makes no sense.

Dang it. We're going to settle for Bohannon and miss that something special until Connor gets here. And he's not a sure thing - although I'm pretty confident about him.
Sigh.
Sigh.
He didnt say that exactly. Something along the lines of with the difficulty of trying to set up the official visit.. Fran is getting close to moving on to the next.
I'm sure other schools are negative recruiting iowa about " you know the coaches son is comin in 2017"
Yep. While Mike has been a serviceable PG he hasn't been the difference maker at the position that Iowa needs to regularly compete with the top of the Big Ten. Bohannon isn't going to even be as good as Mike, at least not right away. Not sure how Fran has whiffed on landing a dynamic PG, a piece critical to what he wants to do, when a 4 year starting opportunity is right there.
Since you're able to see the future, can I get the lottery numbers for tonight?
How many times have you seen any of these kids play that you have these evaluations?
Yogi ferrell and dangelo russell were the two best point guards in the big ten last year. Their teams finished sixth and seventh in the conference. Iowa was 3-0 vs osu and indiana
Mike is not what has kept us from "competing" with the top of the Big Ten.He is a very good point guard who has not had good shooters around him. This is the first year he is going to have multiple guys that I consider good shooters. He is going to have a huge year, and it isn't because he improved so much.
Doyou have a link to that? By the way, when did FL enter the picture? I thought it was down to Iowa, Mizzou and a couple of middle of the pack schools.
