Maybe not ridiculous but not really seeing it, or even a better than 50% chance that we make the Sweet 16. There was some study of the Final 4 teams from the past 10 years or so that showed basically impossible to make the Final 4 if your offense and defense aren't in the Top 25 of both offensive and defensive efficiency. Too many opportunities to lose games against really good teams when you don't guard at a really good level.

There is more to story than we know, I feel like. Iowa has 2 more commitments than scholarships available for next year. Yes, we are all hoping it just means Fran’s kids give up their scholarships (myself included). I feel like this won’t be the case. Someone always leaves. This happens everywhere not just at Iowa. We all thought this year was going to be the year then Moss transferred, Cook went pro, Daley transferred and it’s a completely different team. Let’s just enjoy the ride this team has taken fans on.
“Yep. Weiskamp has a better chance of sticking around than Garza, but I think both will at least have a cup of coffee in the association.“
Neither are on any mock draft boards for 20 or 21.

There are only so many earning years for an athlete. I could see Garza leaving regardless of where he is told to be drafted. Sometimes, the player has done all they can do and it is time to move on. And, they may want professional coaching instead of college coaching to improve.
Now, Luka may think there is more to do in college (team success or more personal fulfillment). And that may inform his decision as well. Selfishly, I hope he comes back.

Till's scholarship is probably for this year only, which means the Hawks are oversigned only by one. Because Connor started as a walk-on, he could go back to that status. (Patrick's situation is different because he started on scholly.) It's also possible that Fran has an arrangement with the Murrays that one of them will start as a walk-on if everyone with eligibility stays.
Pemsl is part of the reason Iowa will be a Final 4 team?
Whatever you're on, I'll take half.
because it's interesting stuff, and reality is underrated these days
I don’t have the exact numbers, but you realize that he paid a lot of people back right?
Because he’s a miserable asshole
What is this the Register? While we’re at it lets discuss all football players who’s parents have had legal issues.
Rest easy, obama is long gone. Nobody told you? You can verify by looking at all the economic records benefitting america.
Seems like almost every thread deteriorates into trash no one wants to read about or discuss.
How? If Luka returns we have 15 guys on scholly right now. Please explain how he's going to add another big when he has to shave two schollys right now off of either Till, Pemsl leaving, or Connor if he can even do that, and thats just to get down to 13???
I think there are enough unknown variables that things could work themselves out pretty easily. Luka returning would greatly reduce the need for the additional big body and Nunge is a big factor as well obviously. Gotta think Fran likes the big kid out of England/Massachusetts to come in and help out right away as well but that’s for class of 2021.
Take the political crap to the off topic board.
I am just thrilled this thread turned political. Amazing. Dumbasses.
You know, this was a great post, and I agreed with it all the way up until your last sentence. Seems rather contradictory, don't you think? I would like to know how you know with so much certainty that Iowa would not win the B1G if JBO were healthy. How many times did he carry Iowa and win games for them in his career? You have no clue if Iowa wins the Big ten or not with a healthy JBO.
I read that he owed people at least $10 million and maybe more. So I am sure some got part of their money back but they weren't made whole. And for some that was retirement money.
Seems like a shady ass guy to me. That takes nothing away from his son though who is a freaking beast of player now.
Maybe. His son is a stud but he owes some people A LOT of money that will never happen.
I love the kid but JBo may be the single most overrated player in Iowa history.
For the last 41 years straight, a betting man would have done well (100% correct well) taking the field against Iowa for the winner of the Big Ten Regular Season Title.
You want to fantasize that JBo would have changed it this year? Might as well. There’s no law against it. Don’t get mad at me for not buying in though.
Yes. Good grief......Jordan improved his defense, was quite solid, last year. Best shooter in the Big10, is all.
Your post doesn't answer a thing about how he would bring in yet ANOTHER big. I repeat, HOW? And if Nunge is a factor, which he should be, and Fran like the big freshman then WHY would he blow up his roster to 16 players? Even if you redshirt most of the young pups, your roster is still overloaded which leaves little room for future recruiting possibilities....
