I believe 247Sports first reported that he's in the transfer portal and now Jeff Goodman is saying he is indeed transferring and will be eligible to play elsewhere immediately.
So Marquette twins then?
There's suddenly a lot of minutes to go around now. Any idea on where he's going?
I can't help but feel that Isaiah has been getting bad advice. First the NBA stunt last season, and now this. Isaiah, you started on a Big Ten team and played in the NCAA tournament with nearly everyone returning... What more do you need? I do not feel like this is in his best interests, and that someone around him thinks they can benefit off of him.
I think that probably had a lot to do with it.Who cares about starting. He was on a short leash & rarely closed out games.

That's the point. The only place where he can close out games with his consistency is the Missouri Valley. If he thinks he can start at Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, etc. he's in for a huge surprise. Does he transfer to Cal to be with Francis? He may close games there, as they went 8-23 last year, but that move makes no sense from a competitive standpoint.
To me, he's doing this to transfer to a program so he can "showcase" his offensive skills and maybe get drafted, but he's not going to get drafted. His bball IQ is too low, his foot speed is too slow, and he struggles to stay aggressive throughout games.
Gotta think his dad has something to do with this. He was trying to "promote" Isaiah a while back. Putting up posters on the streets of Chicago, etc.
Yep. That is not a great thing. Unless maybe you are a MAGA supporter.
Many blacks here in St . Louis metro are becoming MAGA supporters. Black unemployment was 13-15% from 2010-2016 now it’s under 5% in St. Louis metro. You just couldn’t resist bringing politics in to this could you. Stupid.
People who push politics into absolutely everything are the worst. Let us enjoy our damn Iowa sports in peace and GTFO with that nonsense. I don't care who you voted for, I don't care who you hate. I don't need this shit here. There's enough of it everywhere else.
This is a PSA for everyone.
Agreed. I just wonder why you made this response to MY post and not to the poster who first brought politics into this discussion.
More JBo at the 2 with Joe T in the fold at 1.. frederick getting time at 2. Pmac backing up joe at 3 is my guess.Weiskamp slides to 2 and Pmac goes to 3?
Or maybe Jbo goes to 2
Not terribly unexpected in my opinion.I was half-expecting this. Playing time would have gone down again next year. Best of luck!
He's right though. But it doesn't belong on this board, along with most of the other crap and bullshit getting posted.Not the correct board for this type of response.
Let’s keep this basketball-related only.
I think that probably had a lot to do with it.
Agree on JBo at the 2. Joe T is getting PT immediately. Defense and ball handling will be VERY welcomeNot terribly unexpected in my opinion.
I wonder if Toussant jumps up, pushing Bohannon to the 2 spot for more time?
Obviously, way too early to know all the details, but with several changes there will be lots of speculation for a few months.
I think most coaches would have trouble with this in Iowa.yeah, the short leash and not closing games probably bothered him. He didn't improve much on his handles/dribble drive in 4 years on campus, he wasn't going to become a star as a senior.
Fran has an issue recruiting/keeping on campus African american players. I'm sure a lot of posters will disagree and don't care, but most elite players are African American, so not being able to recruit/retain that ethic group doesn't bode well for competing for B1G title someday.
It may not be the worst thing.
With Toussaint inbound, JaBo will absorb more minutes at SG. Wieskamp can also play some SG with PMac at SF.
Connor is flexible to fill in at PG and SG.
Fredrick is an unknown but could provide more depth at SG.
He wasn’t even much of a shooter in HS. Good player overall, but shooting was never his forte.Connor as SG would require him to increase his 3pt shooting percentage by >2X. Could happen. Might not happen.
Yea.. I think its painfully clear to me they're wanting JBo at the 2 more.. with some sort of CMac/JT combo at 1. He will still get time at the point but will all be game flow dependant.He wasn’t even much of a shooter in HS. Good player overall, but shooting was never his forte.
