I saw that Ogundele was originally from London, just like Gabe Olaseni. I wonder if they are in any way related, e.g. coming from the same area in Africa?
Josh Ogundele
- Thread starter hawkeyeguy69
- Start date
Did you really say that?
If we can say white, then we can say black. It's OK.
I find it funny how much people tip toe around this.
Good job to Fran and staff. Glad I was wrong that he was a Rutgers lean. Rutgers, Providence, Rhode Island, and Cincy are not slouches.
Yes I did. Just because London is a big city and full of people from around the world, doesn't mean they can't happen to be related. If not, fine. If yes, it's a fun fact.
I just searched around on the web, and read that the name "Ogundele" is of Yoruba origin, and so is "Olaseni", meaning they may be originally from the western Africa region, around Nigeria.
Gabe if I remember correctly has more of a British accent while it sounds like Josh's is more African similar to Dikembe Mutombo.
"Not in my house!"
"Not in my house!"
Careful Dolph.
Kid will just be absorbed into Franball, and we'll get more Franball product.
Players don't change Franball. Franball changes players.

Doesn't take all the sting away from Monday but does seems like a pretty good get.

Strictly as a 5 playing in the paint, I like this Ogundele recruitment better than Foster,... not at all hating on Foster.
What exactly is Franball, if you could describe it to an outsider?
If he can be 2/3 a Swanigan, I'd be quite happy! But who knows, JO could become a better player..... Time will tell!
Good get.
Go Hawks!
Not a lot of video out there to be found, but he looks to be pretty nimble. There is a You Tube video from 2015-16 that I suspect is the same Josh Ogundele and he is knocking down perimeter shots. 247 sports has a 30-second clip of him also.
I don't get too uptight over losing a kid because he is from Iowa unless it is Barnes, Paige, Carton, etc. Foster could be a great player, but Ogundele has a grown man body already which I like (purely from a basketball perspective). Get the kid in a conditioning program and he could be an excellent successor to Garza. I think the fact that the state only produces a couple of high profile recruits per year if that intensifies the angst if they don't pick Iowa.

Just as a FYI - you may have wanted to include that research and hypothesis the first time around.
i live in another state, but I'm from Iowa.
this is just as absurd as when people say to me "Oh I know one guy from Iowa! Do you know Darren Otten from Waukee?"
only if Iowa had 190 million people instead of 3 million, and instead of knowing Darren Otten, I'm his cousin.
Borderline insane person post.
Are you an outsider?
If you've been watching Iowa basketball under Fran, you should know.
"Franball" is a derogatory term for Hawkeye basketball. The term is typically used by individuals who are unable to articulate any specific shortcomings in the program, due to their general lack of basketball knowledge.
Count me in. Sounds like something in the eye of the beholder, so please give us your description.
Seems like almost every thread deteriorates into trash lately.
The worst part is that the Hawks have only played two games...
Franball:
1. A de-emphasis on team defense.
2. Players who should be in the game often aren't.
3. Players who shouldn't be in the game often are.
4. Zero chemistry.
5. Zero team toughness.
6. Middle School level ball movement on offense.
7. Quick and athletic guards? Who needs em?
8. Mysterious substitutions
Don't act like you don't know.
