This is absolutely huge! I was worried that his father‘s friendship with a certain assistant coach at Wisconsin would draw Cooper away.
you could argue that there are just as many ties to the Wisconsin program because of that as there are two Iowa.
If you read Cooper’s comments, sure, he loves the Hawkeyes, but really what made the difference was Franz style of coaching and the style of Iowa’s offense: positionless basketball.
I love it also because it is so fun to watch. I have never had more fun as a Hawkeye basketball fan then the last couple months of this season. I was in other states watching Iowa games and people were just gushing about how fun it is to watch the Hawkeyes, including Indiana and Illinois fans who are watching the same game with me.
Iowa is now a formidable basketball power in the Big Ten. They are now a formidable and perennial basketball power in the Big Ten. That is simply huge.
Fran is bringing in consistently outstanding talent. No we are not talking about one and done five star players, but we don’t really want that anyway. This is a family program and a team program not just a “catch lightning in a bottle“ program built on transfers and one and dones.
all the credit here is Fran’s
he has proven he can coach big time and be a talent and he has proven he can win Big Ten championships and now all that remains is for him to get back to the sweet 16 and beyond, because he’s been there before as a coach.
I have a feeling that even this year’s so-called rebuilding team is going to surprise a lot of people. And the future looks very very bright.
WELCOME TO THE HAWKEYE FAMILY COOPER!
Study hard, work hard, make your family and the Hawkeye family proud!
