Under Barta? Yes.
The fact that man still has a job is amazing beyond belief just in the liability his poorly thought out and poorly executed decisions have caused.
If jordan entered the transfer portal teams would line up to recruit him. There is a reason he was never ever left alone at the three point line and that opens up defenses
As a SG maybe, no way in HELL any formidable school is wanting him as their primary ball handler! Time to move on, we have 2 other guards ready to go, (joeT probably enters portal if jbo is back) pass the torch and move on!
1. I doubt this thing is getting passed during his timeline, so it is probably just Jordan looking for a little attention online like ALL college kids do.
2. He was, and maybe still is, a great shooter. (I only say this b/c it seems like he had way more off nights than in the past) He is also a horrible defender.
3. There has to be someone else that is a decent shooter and decent to good defender on the roster or in the portal. Fran always seems to find guys who can score. Please find someone who can do both.

I agree, but they wouldn't feel great about it. There better be 3 or 4 other guys that are elite defenders because it's not bashing Jordan to say that his defensive skills are at the bottom of the list of college transfers.
Primary ball handler has meant he is the all time assists leader for Iowa playing against the Big Ten. I think there are a lot of teams that would be just fine with what jordan brings to the table as a ball handler. It is on Fran for not creating more opportunities for Jordan to catch and shoot the ball this year
The people that donate large sums of money are all comfortable with the pecking order he shakes thier hands in. They would rather keep the status quo than have to reestablish that pecking order with a new AD. You could make a pretty compelling argument our donors enable mediocrity.
Are you watching any of the tournament still?
It isn’t necessarily his offense that is the issue. It is his defense.
I don’t think he is quite the same player as he was prior to hip surgery, which is really unfortunate. He just can’t seem to get open as much or shoot quite as well and it may have even impacted his ability to play defense. I just think his offense used to make up for his lack of defense and I don’t think that’s the case anymore.
Hawked off killing it here. While I think it’s time for Jordan to move on, I could care less about his Twitter account. Not sure why some of you get so butthurt over him speaking his mind. To many shut up and dribble guys on here but whatever. I think it’s time for the next group to show us what they have or don’t have. Keep speaking your mind JBO.
I'm sure there would be plenty of Power 5 schools that would like him as a 3 point specialist. But how many of those same schools would play him nearly 30 mpg?
Playing him that much is Fran's fault not JBo's, but I'm sure we all know if he came back, Fran would play him big minutes again. And that would be a mistake.
I'm guessing a lot would take him in a heartbeat. There are only 4 teams in the final four and one national champion. His assists, three point shooting, and turnover ratio would have a lot of coaches happy overall even if his defense isn't always the best.
I would rather have Jbo on the Iowa bench next year, getting whatever minutes Fran wants to dole out to him, then having him on some other Big Ten team with the possibility of him beating Iowa on a last second shot...of coarse, I'm sure most Iowa State fans would get a chuckle out of it....
And there's the problem.
Fran doled out way too many minutes to him this year in a role he is ill-suited for. Why would it be likely that Fran would have the sudden realization at this point to limit his minutes and put him in an off ball spot up shooter role who needs screens and set plays to get open? And to limit his court time to situations where his complete lack of D could be protected by better athletes? That just doesn't at all seem likely given what we've seen of Fran to date.
So, thanks but no thanks on Bohannon part 6.
i would rather not have jbo on our team and lose giving the younger guys the playing experience. Instead of losing because jbo is playing way to many minutes. If we lose to a team jbo hypothetically could be on, it would be because he is playing spot minutes and might hit a big shot to win it. It won’t be because he dominated the game against us playing starter minutes and I’d rather lose to him instead of losing because of him.
Well then state what school and coach you’re talking about. We’re on an Iowa board so many would assume you’re talking about Iowa. Also, a simple google search will tell you KF makes more than $3M/yr. He didn’t just hire BF without experience and BF doesn’t even report to him. They pay the going market rates. If you and others don’t like it then don’t spend money on Iowa football or sports. Talk with your pocket book not just complaining to complain.
Yeah people are speaking up about it whether you like it or not. And there are many more ways to affect change especially at public universities than to simply vote with your pocketbook. Sorry you don't like it.
No one is complaining to complain at all. People are challenging a system that has grown to a level that does not make sense any longer and yet is using a system of rules from a time where coaches didn't earn generational wealth for coaching a game with 18-23 year old students. This idea that athletics is and should be separate financially was born out of the idea that tax dollars should not support the athletic mission beyond reasonable levels. The systems in place also anticipated that student athletes were amateurs and needed protection as students and as athletes from those that would exploit them and to ensure fair play. The organization that was established to protect students sure doesn't act in that manner any longer and that is the point.
Times have changed and yet labor is supposed to keep being grateful for the job alone while living under incredibly strict rules. The majority of students living under those rules by the way do not get full ride scholarships at all.
It is kind of ironic how so many people have issues with an athlete speaking his or her mind, when that is all posters do here on this Board? I could care less what a "celebrity" has to say. It just sucks that so many people blindly think they know what they are talking about simply because of their status. It does lead many people down the wrong direction. But it is what it is.
Yeah but they do it anonymously. How dare Jordan have the chutzpah to do it in person!
😉
If I may, it's somewhat "challenging a system" after they've already agreed to be part of it. They signed a LOI knowing the rules before going in.
It reminds me of the folks who work at Wal-Mart but want to complain about not getting paid enough because the Walton family is making big money. Well, nobody forced you to get that job, nor stay there--go work somewhere that fits you better.
I don't disagree with you that coaches make huge money, and Doyle made great money. But it's a little like the minimum wage argument; if $15/hour is great, why not $25? Or $35? Or $50? Someone felt that what Dabo does is worth $9mil per year. I don't agree with it, but that's what the market dictates, and if the market dictated that what you or I do is worth $9mil per year, then more power to us. I do agree that being associated with education is laughable, but the person paying negotiates with the person providing the services/products, and they agree to that. The schools offer to pay the tuition/room/meals/fees, and the athlete agrees to follow the rules set, and provide the skills they have in exchange....not agree to the rules, and then complain about them/demand they be changed the entire time as if they didn't know.
Why should the NCAA and schools (the schools part is understandable) get to dictate all the terms of the contract with no opportunity for negotiation from the student athletes?
I don't disagree, to a point. Outside of the NIL portion, then you are totally dealing with "free agency" type of contracts. "We'll give you tuition, room and board, fees, and $100k per year". Some schools wouldn't have teams or competitive teams. Does that matter? That's a discussion. Some schools will be able to offer things that others can't come close to. Does that matter? Another discussion.
The NCAA, at one point, was to try and keep those questions answered and answered fairly for all. Like everything else in the world, it got corrupted by money and power, and is now close to a joke.
Yeah I just meant the terms as far as broad, all encompassing stuff like NIL goes. Easy to see where allowing that on an individualized basis would effectively end college sports
If Jordan is healthy then I think he would be a big asset. Just because he comes back for another year doesn't mean he has to be a starter.
Thats kind of the point though. I mean I'm fine if the players want to negotiate this contract. That seems fair. BUT, thats not whats happening here at all. Guys like Jbo as an example SIGNED the contract five years ago. HE AGREEDED to what it says and knew what his compensation was, just as the school or NCAA knew what they were being asked to provide. Now if players coming in want to require more going forward, then more power too them if they can get it. The difference to me is that at least the school will know what THEY are agreeing too up front, and they can sign up to provide said compensation, OR they can tell the kid to look elsewhere, and make their offer to someone more agreeable to their terms if possible...
Bohannon, Livers, and Baker are all graduated and moving on. They are trying to change things for future players to have that ability beyond just making a quick buck for themselves. The way it’s set up, incoming players won’t try to negotiate at risk of losing their offers and having nowhere to go
You haven't watched much basketball if you think other teams would want him as their primary ball handler. He literally looks like a junior high kid bringing the ball up the court.
Very true. However, challenging the system is not always easy. The story of Curt Flood challenging the reserve clause in baseball is very enlightening. It didn't work out for him (he was basically blackballed once he lost the case vs MLB), but it did eventually lay the ground work for the notion of free agency (in all sports).
Now, it can be argued whether free agency has been a good thing overall.
However, the point is, it usually takes someone within the system to argue against it for change to happen (or for change to begin). I agree that there is a possible slippery slope with the NIL legislation. It will be interesting going forward.
Who would have thought a kid from Marion might be the end of me watching college basketball. People will ask why I left it and I will say i got JBOed
