Does anyone actually know the real reason for the transfer. It really doesn’t make sense from afar. Marquette was in position to have a good year

@EpenesaEpenesa , I have read on multiple sites that team chemistry was an issue. I believe they have a guard on the team (Howard?) that was a total ball hog.
Fran likes his teams to share the ball (unlike apparently at Marquette) and have a player or two larger rotations than some other teams they might be considering because of his running style. These might be positive considerations, in addition to the Hausers being from Iowa.
Same would be true at MSU.[/QUOTE]
I am in denial that they could go to MSU, who has become the team I dislike most in the B1G.
Clearly something happened toward the end of the season. Marquette was arguably a top 10 team two thirds of the way through the season, but fell apart down the stretch. Some other team will benefit, and at least Iowa is in the mix, even if we are maybe the most unlikely of those getting a visit.

I understand but would feel worse if they were considering Minnesota.
It would really suck for Wisconsin to land these two im hoping Joe can maybe have some pull with Joey ive heard they are close friends if some miracle happens and we pull both these guys that would be huge!! They can ball, i for some reason watched alot of Marquette games this year. Please fran get us these two!!!
Honestly and I don’t mean to make this a race thing but why is Fran not going after any transfers that are black. Honestly if Iowa gets these guys black recruits won’t even want to sniff Iowa. That would leave one black guy on the team, the new point guard, after this next year.

I don't think the ND guard we're after is just really tan, but I could be wrong.
In 2018, 45% of NCAA men's basketball players were black, 39% white, with 16% other. Iowa's roster in 2019-20 would be 25% black and 75% white with the current players slated to be on the team in 2019-20.
Do you care to address the factually inaccurate post I quoted?
Stupid post these two are better than 99 percent of transfers that are black or white. So what if we will have one black PG after this year thats the only position I really think you need a black player for.
In college you can win with great white players and go far look at duke and wisconsin but they always have a black PG which is what you need. Other than that position I could care less what color the player is.
I don't GAF what color you are as long as you can ball.
I agree with the above comment. I really do not understand the logic of a great number of people in today's world who want to inject race into every conversation (and usually not in a positive manner). For Iowa BB, all I care about is a good person and good/great basketball skills.
I don't care at all. I was responding to the WTF to the post made by the guy saying why doesn't Iowa recruit African-American players. Which is not true, as the current roster shows.
FYI - an article about Virginia's interest: https://247sports.com/college/virgi...ions-131545685/Amp/?__twitter_impression=true
Let's get good players now and worry about racial distribution later.
Only truth to the white/black "issue" and basketball is that there are more great black players than great white players. I could not care less whether a transfer is black or white, as long as he can play, and is a good fit to the team on and off the court.
Weren't the Hauser boys at Wisky this weekend? I hope they hated it. 
I am not saying we should recruit certain players because they are white or black. But it seems like a fair question to ask that if our roster is predominately white, will that make it more challenging in to recruit African American athletes. I don't know the answer but would think it is something to discuss
