We probably start getting blown out on the road….oh wait.
I'm not saying I want them to stay. They could both go, I'm not dying on the hill of Frandom. But my money is on both of them still being at Iowa next season.No offense, but really hope I can do this in a couple of months or so ....
I would be lying if I said there isn't part of me that expects Fran to be back next season. When it comes to Iowa sports, I find it foolhardy to expect things to go only the way you want them to.
Give ya $200 to never say "ad nauseum" on the board again.
WTF? OK, he's Christian. This in no way obligates him to anything. He can pray on it all he wants and if God wants him to play elsewhere for more money & he can contribute more to his church, so be it.
It's more than the players when it's happened years on end with different rosters
Hate is a strong word. Personally I'm just not down with players quitting on their team before the season they signed up for is over, And NO I don't care what the reasons are. Thats just not what team mates do to the guys who battle with them. Now the rest of his "team mates get to play the rest of the year without their best inside player, HELL only inside player. And that goes for the guys at Kinnick as well. I know others feel differently, and thats fine. Just not the way I was raised. Just another indictment on what $$ has done to the "student athlete".....
Think that’s being a little harsh KC. I don’t think any of us know what’s really going on. He doesn’t seem like the kind of kid that would quit on his team, at least to me.
I wouldn’t put the football program in the same category as MBB. MBB is turning into a train wreck…
They're not in the same category but football needs a reboot just as bad because there is no upside left with Ferentz at his age.
Can’t argue that.
I wouldn't be shocked if he is back either. Disappointed, but not shocked.
These are Fran’s guys! He recruited these kids and hasn’t developed many into defensive minded players! The players have to produce but the coaches need to do better of evaluating well rounded players that get after it on both ends!
that's a hell of lot of players to blame over his tenure. 😂
You can nitpick but Freeman is not the reason (main) we are terrible. Teams will line up for his talent.
I don't disagree but we're getting to Bowden Paterno territory soon.
I'm basically adding in all the smoke that he's already told Fran he's gone after this season. If so, the this is a calculated move and he's doing this now so he can be ready to hit the portal. If not then maybe I'd be a bit more understanding, but this whole "finger thing" just seems to have come out of nowhere, and I still think he could play if he wanted to. It just seems like some of the guys have mailed it in, other then PS who just uses these games as shooting practice anyway.
Yup. He's a good player on a poorly coached team with a very unbalanced roster. Perkins got a decent payday to move to a new team. I expect Freeman will garner something better should he decide to go.
Not when they discover that Harding is part of the package deal.
