Fran's statement tells you everything you need to know about his mood about CJ's transfer
- Thread starter CleteyColgate
- Start date
Keegan and Pat are forwards, both quicker than Cj. Sandfort is as quick, if not quicker.
Yes, no big deal that’s kept him out of multiple games in multiple seasons.
Low pain threshold is probably right. A guy who started all 52 games he played in an Iowa uniform was held out of 10 games because of a low pain threshold and a no big deal.
Most wanted more of a balance for last year's team, not the whole starting 5 to be gone. Huge difference. I don't think anyone called for Fredrick to be benched.
Plantar fasciitis is extremely painful, in the morning. Or an an hour after playing.
Its a ligament tear, once you start running and jumping the pain goes away.
I played with it for years.
Eventually you have to stop for a few months to let it heal but its not like a knee, ankle, or torn muscles, and nothing like a bad back.
I can speak from experience on all of them.
Lol, defending the "pain threshold" of guy who just fvcked his team over all while not actually knowing what the injury was.
Im not defending CJ one bit or not directly trying to. There’s a reason why Fran kept him out or at the very least played him sparingly.
Are you implying that CJ was faking an injury? Something he set up two years ago in an attempt to draw Kentucky’s eye for a possible transfer? You’re not serious with this, right?
Serious with what? Your made up straw man scenario?
No definitely not. Are you that dumb?
Im implying that its very possible and even likely that CJ was not happy with his playing time this year, despite having an injury. And for some bizarre reason this is very important to you lol.
In the games he sat most of the second half he was likely not on board with that decision.
I'm not saying Fran made the wrong decision, just that CJ didn't like it.
There was a rumor 5 or 6 weeks ago saying essentially this. It turned out to be accurate on the transfer part way before anyone else was talking about it.
That, in my mind lends credence as to the why associated with it.

A guy unhappy with his playing time at Iowa after starting all 52 games he played and averaged 27 mpg in his FR and SO seasons, with a much larger role in his future, transfers to Kentucky (most likely) because he’s not happy about playing time. Sounds more than reasonable. 😂
It'll be very, very ugly. I'm just pumped Fran got extended, honestly - It's what the program needed.
.....
Obviously you're ignoring the specific part about certain games this season and concocting another straw man, but who cares.
Honestly this is a ridiculous discussion for two adults to be having in the first place.
I try to remember who the idiots not worth engaging are but you seem to have slipped my mind.
I need to do better on that.
Being called an idiot, presumably by a grown man, who doesn’t know how to spell “a lot” is rich to say the least.
Edit: Please specifically list the certain games.
He has two sons playing for the team, but has no dog in the fight? You don't have children do you?
I do think CMAC gets too many minutes but I thought PMAC should get more.
Fran seems like a stand up guy just like Kirk. I respect these kind of coaches/leaders for these athletes. I don't think this will change them - they are who they are and if not reciprocated by players then it is what it is...
Pmac deserved his minutes, he's a baller. I don't know how you can even mention him with Conner. I agree Conner had way too many minutes and especially if he was hurt down the stretch.
No dog in the fight? Interesting thought process. Need to disagree on that opinion.
To be fair, that is a pretty sweet ride!Did you see Fran driving Deon's son around campus in this?
Valid. And that could also easily be part of why Fran is pissed. He knows kentucky was tampering but also knows how the ncaa operates and wont do a dam thing about it.
Tampering is very hard to prove, especially when it involves family members. Look at Auburn football.
Until coaches are permanently banned for breaking rules, they will not change. Cal is crooked as hell but he knows he will not get punished because he games the system.
The answer is to get active in the portal. Time for the staff to get it in gear.
Whatever. And for the record its the coaches job to constantly upgrade the roster, OR isn't that one of the things people on here are always bitching about? So now Frans a dick for trying to upgrade the roster? If thats the case, ( and I'm skeptical), then CJ needs to grow a pair, and stay and earn his spot by staying on the court for more then half a season......

legit. also, its seems weird and unlikely that anyone related to Deon Thomas would commit to Iowa, no?
Yup. While I'm excited about what is likely going to be a better defensive team and a dangerous team in transition, Iowa just lost all four perimeter shooters hitting around 40-percent or more from three (Garza, Weezy, Bohannon, and CJ).
That's going to be impossible to replace next year so the offense is going to look completely different: lots of drives to the hoop, back door cuts, screens to open up lanes to the basket, and so on. The guys who will be shooting 3s will probably be Sandfort, PMac, and Keegan and the latter two need to improve ASAP. Perkins and Ulis showed very little from outside so they probably need to improve significantly. Joe T hasn't been much of a 3-point shooter and that may not change.
its hard to predict what this team will do offensively next year.
Connor has shown in the past that he's pretty decent. He may be a support player and not a scorer, but he clearly can be effective at a Power 5 level when healthy. You could argue about his minutes and position, perhaps, but to belittle the non-sexy stats that really do matter in basketball shows some ignorance. Iowa has had a lot of support players that fans liked who had similar stats, but people with a bone to pick with his last name seem to go out of their way to be mean spirited towards him it seems. It explains why you felt the need to add "coaches son" to your statement when it wasn't necessary. Your bias is evident.
Last year when healthy he was 3rd on the team in Win Shares, 4th in Box Plus Minus, and 3rd in Points Produced, all for a Top 25 Power 5 team. That's the opposite of "not very good". He also led the country in Assist to Turnover ratio.
