Thanks for the info on JT Rock, good stuff, now just have to wait and see how everything about him develops and if Fran and JT like what each other can do for each other in the future. Sounds like Fran doing his job in hopes of it paying off down the road. Tough job being a Nostradamus but I’m sure when it works out like it did with a Luka Garza , it’s pretty satisfying.
Not soon enough for me though time will shift back to the here and now. Win or [(not win enough) ,(I personally think we win a lot this year)] , I just want to say I respect the effort of the coaching staff, seeking out, making early contacts, envisioning a kids future, talking to him about his strengths, things to work on and what U of I can offer him . Then in many cases a kid changing his mind at the moment he has to decide where to go . Only for him to decide to go for the new bright new shiny object that shows up on his doorstep a day , week or so before decision day. Then you just have to say crap, tough day and start all over again . Whatever we’ve all done for a job or career, we all can understand a tough day, SMH 🤦. Hopefully good days ahead this year and for Fran, JT Rock, The Iowa Hawkeyes, and everyone here. Thanks again for the updates.
