Moss left because he knew CJF was better than he was.
Well, that's not really what I meant. Of course there are LOTS things to do instead of watching Iowa basketball. I meant if we are unhappy with Iowa basketball, how are the fans supposed to change it? Organize a revolt? Pass.
I think Fran was set after getting Rebraca. He assumed CJ was slotted at the 2-guard. When he left, Jordan slipped in there and his team was in place.
Agree, don't know what the panic is about here all the time. Murray's, Rebraca, and Pat are gonna be a good frontcourt too. We knew without Luka it was gonna be a step back, still think this lineup is an NCAA team. Many of the really good transfers aren't looking at a school like Iowa, they are looking for a fit on the big teams first and foremost. I'm glad we got Rebraca.
The only one that looks like an idiot is you.
A lot of good players are not interested in Iowa right now BECAUSE there would be competition at the guard spots. Many (if not most) in the portal are looking not for competing for playing time, but rather the expectation of more playing time.
Throw Dr. Phil's Show in there and you have your entire winter mapped out and you won't have to feel the need to vent your spleen on this board every day. Excellent plan for your mental health!
Not to be pissy, but A lot of what you said is just inaccurate. Fran is looking at them, he's looked at several, including Robbins and Rebraca, and that was our biggest need. CJ waiting like he did, really screwed Fran over. Like some have said, it cost us valuable time to build a relationship with any of the top SG's, thus Jbo coming back. I know there is Jbo fatigue, but he'll be a good SG for us if he plays the role he spoke about. Recruiting over Connor has nothing to do with this, people just have an infatuation with having to bring him into every single conversation. He's just a role player going forward. Bringing in Carr makes little sense. We have two PG's already, what would they think at this point. I'd rather have both of them for 3/4 years, then Carr for one. On top of that, Carr wasn't interested in coming here.
Why did you change your first reply? Both replies together show that you are about 12. Go take a nap for your mommy now and be a good boy. ****ing idiot.
They like to complain. That's their raison d'etre.
However having given this a bit more thought, if it prevents berating family and friends and kicking the dog please continue to pitch and moan
Would be like watching a Grinnell game
So, given his current roster, what is he supposed to do? Recruit another half dozen players and let them battle it out with the guys already here? Then what? Just dismiss the losers? That's a new level of Creaning!
Good players aren't afraid of competition, period. I'm not sure who at the guard spot for Iowa would scare anyone from coming here. None of them have proved anything at all other than Bohannon as a shooter only. I can see a couple reasons why nobody would come here, and their names are Conor and Pat, and one of them should never see the floor. This team is going to be bad, and outside of Bohannon if he gets hot, who is going to score? Especially from outside. Joe T can't shoot, Patrick can't shoot, Conor has the worst shot in basketball, Murray isn't a good shooter. This team without Garza is not going to be good, even worse without Weiskamp.
First off, it’s “Connor” not “Conor.” If you’re going to bitch about something, at least get the names correct.
Not sure giving another portal player an available scholly qualifies as Creaning. I think some on here just wanted a little extra competition for the starting jobs - obviously there was none for the takin’ so Fran told Ash to unpack his bags. I get there are instances where the coach does not want to rock the team chemistry-I know Mark Few had this dilemma for Gonzaga, but we are light years always from their program/talent level. Also, it’s not crazy to think most portal transfers were aware Frans had two sons on his roster, so there were basically 3 available slots to crack the starting line-up. If JT, AU, and TP haven’t left yet, I highly doubt bringing in another competitive transfer would have hurt their feelings/make them move on...
PMac didn't start last year. No guarantee he'd start next year. But the player coming in knows what kind of talent and drive he has, not to mention his chemistry with Joe T.
I think the highlighted portion is the most likely scenario. I think Fran's happy with P-Mac, Kris Murray, Payton Sandfort, Tony Perkins, covering Wieskamp's role on the team (in some combination). One scholarship is still available should Wieskamp decide to come back, otherwise he'll just plan on banking it for the 2022 class.
