I don't have a real solution in mind, but that isn't going to work. They were already a horrible rebounding team. They'd be going from one of the worst rebounding teams in the country to easily the worst rebounding team in the country.
Freeman out the remainder of season due to finger injury
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
Bet it was his middle finger
I thought they mentioned on the broadcast last game that Owen had injured a finger and was having it looked at on the bench. Anyone else remember that?
He already has the offer. It will be either to play sparingly at an elite program, or get paid better than Iowa at a decent program.
Would have been nice to retain him, but if he's gone so be it.
A complete tear down of the program isn't what I was looking for, however it's looking like it might be heading in that direction.
If so let's hope Beth has the rebuild plans ready to go.

Yah, like Grinnell College used to do. Get a shot off every 10 seconds, or something like that. Why not?
He does need it now, because he wants top doctors to take care of it on Iowa's dime, and he wants to be ready to play for his new team in the fall. The finger needs to be healed by the end of the semester so he get the highest NIL money possible.

does the fact that CC is dating the son of the mbb coach have any impact on whether or not she fires his lame ass?

Really fighting through the pain on his index finger there.
I get it being on the right hand. Probably hinders his shooting some but I think we could all agree a 30% Freeman is better then what we have on the bench. Too bad Freeman quit on this team.
It better not, or Beth has no business being an AD, IMO. Besides, I don't think there is any shortage of money in that crowd, where Fran losing this job is going to break anybody, way I see it.caption this pic:

Bye Owen, hope you find your
Good catch with this pic & view of the alleged injury.

Thank you. I didn't want to be the one to ask.
This
Starting over is perfectly fine. ISU went 2-22 a few years ago. They’ve recovered. Get the right coach in here and the same can be true for Iowa too.
ISU literally went to the sweet 16 the very next season.
AND they had 11 players graduate, transfer, or quit the team.
So yea - if we can get a guy like Devries - I’m not concerned about Freeman leaving
This all just sucks. Before the year started, I thought this would be a decent team. Did not foresee Iowa being one of the worst teams in the conference. Fran is really being exposed with this group
The money is going to be there to attract good players. Starting with a bare cupboard is much easier to turnaround than it used to be.
Beth looks thrilledcaption this pic:

Conner's lookin at her like "Give my daddy his extension & a raise or I'm taking him & Jack to Butler"...Beth looks thrilled
My guess is Caitlin is pegging in that relationship. That is a boss lady right there.
This sucks and I agree he is probably gone. But, how can you blame the young man given the injury, McCaffery, program going south, and unfortunately $'s paid for talent. Hopefully McCaffery will be gone very soon, and the new coach piques his interest.
Trilly Donovan is a college hoops analyst. He’s generally considered well sourced with deep connections in college basketball circles.
He’s right more often than not but isn’t always correct, but then again who is? He’s certainly better than most.

It used to takes years to build a winning team now with free agency it can be done in a few weeks on the phone. Year one is a huge opportunity with an empty roster and no obligations.
I look at this situation as a positive. It significantly ups the chances of a clean break with all things Fran and a fresh start this spring.
This season was already done.
Did a bum finger make it hard to play defense?? Asking for a friend…
Bum finger hampers everything,.. Sorry to see Owen miss the balance of the season, hope he heals well, and chooses to rejoin the team...
My hunch is if an injury ends a season, then NIL is still owed. But if they simply quit, NiL is probably forgone. If that’s accurate (and certainly it might not be), it really incentivizes the whole “ouch my XYZ hurts so I can’t play” reason for ending the season. But I’d sure respect the player a helleva lot more if they just outright said I gotta shut this down for purely business reasons. That also may not be the case with Owen, but globally speaking this is a big frickn issue.
Beth is low key a smoke showBeth looks thrilled
