Frank Garza on KXNO Morning Rush

Because some people come on here only to troll?

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.

A tad over dramatic as I aint mad , and I certainly am not fantasizing about anything. Simply pointed out that you have no clue if JBO playing helps Iowa win the Big ten. Found it ironic that you called people out telling them not to make assumptions, only to go and make your own. Rather funny.
 
The irony is that Bohannon having to sit a year makes it more likely that Garza comes back. The kid really seems to enjoy college ball, if I were his father I’d counsel him that he probably will never have that kind of unmitigated joy playing in the NBA. Money won’t replace memories.
I hear you but memories don't pay the bills either.
 
If both Garza and Jbo come back a national title is not ridiculous. That’s the best big man in the country + one of the most clutch and consistent shooters Iowa’s ever had... that alone is enough to carry any team + we have Joe, CJF, Weezy, Pemsl, and incoming class.. yeah, that’s a final 4 team.
Fran managing an 11 man rotation gives me pause....yeah, I said it.
 
If everyone returns....and returns healthy....this will be the most complete team Iowa has had in 30ish years.

The biggest concern for me is replacing Kreiner. That guy is going to be missed.
And with the most complete team Iowa has had in 30ish years comes...well, you know.

A raise, extension, larger buyout.

JBo, who may end up as the all time leader in the history of the B1G for 3 pointers made, may be the single most overrated player in Iowa basketball history? Totally sane.
 
At some point next years expectations if everyone returns will have to be tampered down. Until our defensive efficiency gets better we aren't winning anything. We will be a really good team but talking about national titles is just ridiculous.

Have to take into consideration who you are replying to. The most delusional person to post on this board.
 
Is that even the same Garza? The one convicted lived in the west coast, no? Either way, who the **** cares? This is about Luka, not his father.

It is the same. I agree this ‘should’ be about Luka. Bringing up his father’s past does Luka nor Iowa any favors.
 
My money, which ain't worth much, says Luka comes back. I would be shocked if he didn't. The money will be there a year later . . . maybe even more. And Luka just doesn't seem like the kind of young man who's chasing the money. He will want to come back and be the kingpin of a loaded roster that will have a legitimate chance at both a Big Ten and, yes, I'll say it, a national title.
The money won't be there if he tears an ACL.

Hope he comes back but if he's projected first round I'd encourage him to go. Can always come back for a year to get that degree with millions of $$$ in the bank.
 
$$$$ will talk. If he’s a first rounder (I have no clue and hate today’s NBA) he would be crazy not to go.
what are you talking about I think he's going to come back I think he needs to. You're a guy who doesn't play above the rim another year certainly won't hurt. I also think Lukas Dad should start up a big man's camp if he can develop other players like he did his son bingo

Am I the only one that just learned Frank Garza pleaded guilty to wire fraud and money laundering?
NO you're not but you're one of the stupid few who keep bring it up. Does anyone keep bringing up your an idiot from Minnesota and your like little kids?

It is pretty interesting regardless of whether it was 10 years ago or not. Not many parents of Iowa athletes get prosecuted by the feds and defrauded people out of money. Looks like the only person he paid back was Steve Mariucci, the old 49ers head coach. Also sounds like Italy kicked him out of the country. All crazy stuff.
What does Luka Garza's basketball skills have to do with his parents past? Probably half the players on college teams don't even know their dads...Grow up and move on...Oh, trolls can't move on and get attention.
 
Doesnt seem like Frank is struggling with money. Which IMO makes it more likely he comes back
Not to pile on the guy but that’s what people that commit these kinds of crimes want you to think.

I’m worried that Luka will leave because his dad’s not in a good financial position.

Hopefully I’m wrong.

LOL

“may” being the key word there, of course. He’s currently (in real life) twelfth on the list.

Your post kind of proves my point, no? Good player. Lots of drama etc....but how important a piece is he really? Look at the eleven guys ahead of him on the list. How many would you would consider “great” college basketball players? Hell ... four of them are from Penn State for gosh sakes. Respert, sure....Dee Brown, ok. Diebler (#1) played on a national finals team, I guess....

We’ve gotten a 7 and a 10 seed on JBo’s watch...

Again, everybody loves the kid because he’s a great hawkeye but...c’mon, man.

Grow up? Lol. It’s a pretty fascinating tale if you look into it. A lot more interesting than a dead beat dad.. are you his friend or something? Good lord. Calm down. It’s going to be all right.

Bohannon has played in one NCAA tournament.

Let’s assume he plays next year. He WILL end up top 5 in assists and too 10 in scoring as well. Completely overrated lol.

“He WILL..” Lol. again... hasn’t happened yet.

Somewhat ironic that someone with so much difficulty discerning the difference between fact and fantasy is lecturing about what is “sane.”

If Garza comes back, I see no reason not to think about a Final Four possibility. The last time Iowa had a returning first-team All-American was in 1980 with Ronnie Lester so ...

If everyone coming back is healthy then Iowa will have plenty of outside shooting to take pressure off Garza. Iowa needs Nunge and Pemsl and any other bigs it can get to bolster the frontline.

With Garza and the rest of the team back, Iowa would probably be favorites in the B10:

--Maryland loses Cowan; Smith may leave early.
--MSU loses Cassius Winston
--Rutgers: will Ron Harper Jr. declare early?
--OSU loses Andre Wesson; what happens to DJC? Will Kaleb W. leave early?
--Michigan loses Zavier Simpson and Teske
--Penn State loses Lamar Stevens
--Illinois loses Feliz; will Ayo leave early?
--IU loses D. Green; TJD will declare early
--UW loses Pritzl
--Minny: Does Oturo leave early?

As far as the rest of the country goes?

--Kansas loses Moss so we know they'll be depleted
--About 100 other guys around the country will declare early to join the departing senior class and the Europeans for the slim chance of being one of the 30 guys picked in the first round of the NBA draft. Iowa will benefit from teams losing about 80 good college freshman, sophomores, and juniors who were dumb enough to think that they legitimately had a shot at the first round this year. So, yeah, if Iowa returns everyone then they probably would be in the preseason conversation as a competitor for the Final Four.

I would settle for B1G title...first time in 40 years. I do agree with an earlier post that defense HAS to improve. Fran will have a lot of extra athletic bodies next year to be able to play some man defense. You can't be a 100% zone team and wing big unless you have jim Boeheim type athletes from his good teams.

Luka will have his jersey retired if he comes back and a lot of grateful fans, for whatever that is worth in a young man's priorities.

To win the conference it will depend on the schedule they get and the defense. Also, no shot at a national title if they don't improve defense. I can only remember one team that had a defense not ranked in the top 15 on Ken Pom that won a title. Another thing is that teams that win titles generally have first round draft picks. But if everyone comes back and everyone is healthy, definitely have a chance to contend for the conference title and a chance to maybe get to a final four.

Speaking of schedule with the 20 game conference now I believe this is how it goes. Every other year you play a team 2x with one team you play 2x every year which is Nebraska for Iowa. So all the teams we play once this year we play 2x next year and for teams we play one time next year like Purdue & PSU we get at home since 2 years ago we played our one game on the road.

2020-21 schedule
2x- NW, Nebraska, OSU, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Mich. St. & Indiana
1x- Michigan (away), Minnesota (home), Maryland (away), Purdue (home), Penn St. (home) & Illinois (away).

Yes....was that a serious question?
Did he seek out to be interviewed or did they ask to interview him? Big difference. Besides the TV networks showing him during games I haven’t heard much about him.

How many other Iowa parents have you seen show at multiple games throughout the year, get interviewed on the radio or be mic'd up during games?
 
Clown fans can't come to this board bragging about their basketball program anymore so they just try to use this forum to tear down anything Iowa related no matter how old the news is. Seriously, maybe every parent of every player that's played at Moo U has a spotless past, but I seriously doubt that and I don't see Iowa fans trying to dredge up dirt on them.

I don't see how talking about Frank Garza's past is tearing down Iowa?
 
Could you explain how it’s good for Iowa or how it’s good for Luka?

It doesn’t say anything about either Iowa or Luka. Not good or bad. It’s an interesting fact that people don’t have the emotional maturity of a baby can discuss without crying about it being unfair or playing the victim.

I guess if you can’t see how continuously bringing up Luka’s father’s troubled past is not a good thing for Luka, then I don’t know what else to tell you. I bet the Clown fans are on here adding fuel to the fire, because it’s such an interesting tale.

I’ll add that if it’s not good for Luka or Iowa, then it really has no business being on this message board.
