How does ISU totally kill Iowa in recruiting

Fred didn't take crap for the transfer strategy. They needed talent. He took crap because most of the players had a fair amount of baggage
True, but what percentage of high quality transfers do NOT have baggage? That's the risk factor. There are exceptions -- Mike Jacobsen is currently a good example of that, and Uthoff was an example for the Hawks -- but most of them have reasons for leaving that can raise eyebrows.

Or playing time. Or better fit. I don’t think it is fair to say most transfers have baggage

Iowa has had many players transfer out and many did because they were not very good. Not because of behavioral reasons
 
Yep. Unless it's a Weiskamp type player, Iowa State passes on white players. Fran needs to as well.

I'll tell you a story my uncle shared with me many years ago. He went to Iowa State back in the early 80s around the time Johnny Orr was hired. Johnny was around mingling with students and someone asked Johnny why he wasn't recruiting anyone from Iowa that year. Johnny looks at him and without blinking an eye said, "Coz there's no blacks in Iowa."

Lol.

Fran needs to get more brothas on the team. Plain and simple.
Says the racist f'ing pig. Plain and Simple.

Here is the difference between Hilton and Carver Wade! You could go to Carver and study for finals and in Hilton the place rocks!
 
Prohm is getting a lot of credit for his win on THT, but Clone fans should really be thanking Ayo Dosunmu from Illinois. THT tried committing to Underwood and Illinois but Dosunmu told them it was either THT or him and they chose Dosunmu. Thus, THT went to option #2, which was ISU.

Only if you believe Illinois message board lore. It is a coping mechanism to rationalize why they lost him.

I tend to agree with this. However, Iowa State got him. They stayed in it till the end and won the prize they were after. I don't honestly care how they got to Iowa State. I don't care if they go to a different school. As long as they are on our squad beating teams.

That's not what THT says, but what does he know?

Oh, yes, I almost forgot....Monte Morris really wanted to go to Iowa, too.
 
Who is
I went out and looked today, after he posted this and found you. I did in fact see the tweet to chris and willie knocking Fant on 10/7, so I believe him on the other tweets. Why would you even do this? How little of a human are you? Does Iowa get under your skin that much? I can just imagine the other psycho isu guys on this board that do the same thing. You’re a father too? Can you imagine some lowlife tweeting you someday, knocking your child? Gain some perspective guy.
Who is Chris and willie?
Oh are you talking about Fants relatives? I can't remeber what I said but probably had something to do with TJ being better. I mean I wasn't wrong lol.
You don’t find it weird you are talking shit to an Iowa players family?
 
Lol.

Would you like a tissue for your issue?
I don't have an issue. I don't judge basketball players by the color of their skin. I've never said that Iowa needs more white guys or black guys on the team. I root for the players that Iowa gets regardless of color. So , no, I don't have an issue. If you want to post crap like this, and I quote you, ''Fran needs to get more brothas on the team. Plain and simple.'', then I don't have a problem of calling you a racist pig which is what you are. You should keep that tissue, you're the one with the issue.

Dude, lighten up.

Tis the season to be jolly.

And I stand by what I said. Iowa needs some more brothas on the team. :p

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. :D

I actually heard there was truth to Morris having interest in Iowa due to the Marble connection, but Fran passed because he felt he didn't have enough white players on the team and went with Gesell. :p:D

No different than his family talking shit about the other TEs getting more snaps than Fant. If your going to talk crap on a public forum expect crap to be talked back. I did it and I'm getting killed for it. They did it and got killed for it by not just me but many other people. That's just how it works. Should I have done It? Probably not. But in the grand scheme of things did it hurt anything? No. People do dumb shit that's just our nature.

Looks like Prohm needs more albino types. :) The only one he has turned out to be the biggest thug on the floor. :D Black n Gold loser....

That is what you have? I haven't protested since I took loaded guns to the local Selective Service Office back in the 60's you idiot moron. You don't know me. I didn't need a safe space to color. The name Warner means nothing to the Iowa Hawkeyes, but you use that name and most of your posts here are negative. I'm not crying about anything. I'm not the one stereotyping anybody. You can condone that all you want to and you can call me any name you want to from your fat mother's basement. I'm not the one who is showing off their ignorance.

So, are you a ''brotha'' or are you a hood wannabe or do you just like mocking black people? By the way don't you get tired of the pink emogees?

How am I mocking black people?

I like to clown around and have fun with people.

And I love colorful emojis.

I know they've had quite a bit of success the last several years and Hoiberg really got them going but my golly they get studs in there. Iowa ...not so much. What's the deal? There needs to be a major shake up in iowa city.
they recruit a lot like braska does in football ;)

Also not sure why Fran refuses to go hard after transfers. Weiler Babb, Shayok, Jacobson, Talley are all transfers. Have another one sitting out this year. You don’t need 13 guys playing. There is room on a roster for guys to transfer and sit out.
BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL THUGS !!!!!

Horton-Tucker was the Chicago player of the year. I really like what I've seen of Weiskamp and would like to have him, but I don't think they were comparable recruits.

I'll take the guy scoring 19 and hitting clutch 3s in the tournament over the guy benched most of the 2nd half for poor play. That's just me though.
