if Jok does not come back

[Scott559]

We used to live in a world where players frequently weren't contributors until their junior and senior seasons. Now fans demand players play minutes right away, otherwise they fall all over themselves in a competition to see who can claim the coach "whiffed".

Then we act surprised and shocked with the transfer culture!

Excellent point, Tom Izzo just commented on this a couple of weeks ago, Young players and fans want instant gratification, Many young players have gotten into the mindset that if they don't see immediate playing time they look for greener pastures instead of really looking in the mirror and seeing what they need to do to improve their game to where they can become an asset and see the floor. Many fans want to dismiss a player far too early instead of letting them develop over time. Seems many here want to chastise Brady Ellingson and wish he would transfer vs applauding him for sticking it out and working to improve and become an asset to the team further down the road. I am glad he has shown the commitment to the program and accepted the challenge to improve in hopes of contributing in the future. The easy way out is to run away if you see a tough challenge, I like guys that are willing to face the challenge.

How many players have transferred out so far? I read of two but it sounds like fans are thinking more will follow. I thought they didn't do that at Iowa.

It seems to me with four senior starters graduating last year there should be lots of opportunity for players to stick with the team.

you mean you saw that Marble was going to become a starter after his FR season when he shot 26.8% from 3 and 53% from the FTL and avg'd 5.7 ppg.

or how about Jok who avg'd 4.4 ppg as a FR

if you do you are flat out lying. even BJ Armstrong only avg'd 2.8 ppg as a FR. is this all you do is trash players for the U of IA.

Two obvious notes here, all 3 were far greater athletes. And none of them were in their 2nd year of the program as redshirt freshman.

Just felt like being a troll before you went to bed?

Fans don't have a clue whether more current players will transfer...as neither do you. Transfers are common place all over the country (if you read as you said you did then you would know that)....so where you get it that it doesn't happen at Iowa is a stupid comment. In fact ...considering the size of last years freshman class it wasn't surprising to a number of posters that Fleming & Hutton are transferring.

You also have no clue as to the opportunity Fleming & Hutton would of had ...had they stayed. Your entire post has zero basis of anything. My view is Myvue has no view of substance. Typical of a troll.
