Owen Freeman on the outs?
- Thread starter Fran-Con-2
- Start date
KU took Moss from us a few years ago. Freeman is already a better player than he ever was, and has way more potential, especially w/the right coach. But you're also right, he would flourish at Creighton.
Unfortunately this is true.
We are no longer good enough to be relevant nor bad enough to be irrelevant. We just are.
We don't need gimmicks, we need a coach that knows how to win which is why I want McCollum.
I don't know enough about McCollum. But I hope they hire a coach that values defense without sacrificing offense. I don't want to watch 55-50 games, but I do want to watch guys busting their asses on defense : boxing out and rebounding (actually on both ends), fighting through picks, helping, talking, challenging passing lanes, moving your feet and not reaching, diving on the floor (not bending over) for loose balls, hard fouls when necessary, and then get the ball and go. And if the guys on the team can't/won't do that, then cut them loose. Every last one of them, if need be. The first week of practice, every player should be bruised and puking his guts out because it is freaking hard.
Maybe if you have an additional 47 posts about how much you want McCollum it’ll come true.
Look on the bright side, he'll only miss 10 games. Because there's no way we're making Big Ten tourny.
We don't know the extent of the injury and whether playing with it until the end of the season could cause greater damage, BUT, Kenny Arnold played with a broken thumb and a year or two before Vince Brookins played with a broken hand. Would Owen still be playing if the team were better?
Again, I haven't seen anyone suggest that the Pierce incident has anything to do with attendance problems in '25
Sure, those are all things that factor into your choice of whether to attend or not.
That doesn't change that fact that less fans in the seats is bad for the program, and that fans have the choice to do something about that.
I get this is impossible for many of you. But if you don't want to support the program (which, guess what, gives the program support), then don't complain when the type of things that take place at programs that aren't being supported actually happen.
Carry on though, because I highly doubt you're capable of listening. I'm sure you quit attending during the Lickliter years and talked a bunch of shit about those teams too. Were tickets and gas somehow more expensive back then too?
And I'm sure you have some sort of justification for habitually littering the Hawkeye community with negativity too.
We get it. You're just a selfish consumer. You've said as much as few times now
Iowa basketball is beyond boring. I haven’t watched a complete game for a couple years, and won’t do so until Fran is gone. If you want to spend your money seeing that garbage in person, that’s your choice, but get off your high horse.
Owen Freeman is no Luka Garza. Not even close. But this is on Fran. Team is poorly put together and uninspired. That’s on the coach.
Freeman is not even close to Luka so he's not going to make any money in the NBA. If he wants to make money off basketball, college is all he has. He needs to transfer and get as much money as he can. Once he's done with college, he'll just be another tall guy walking around.
I agree he has no future in the NBA, but he could make a very decent living playing overseas.
A new coach could at least attempt to recruit both Freeman and Dix to stay. If there is a decent financial offer that isn't too far below what they could get on the open market they might be willing to listen.
If Fran stays, he's better off shopping his talents to the highest bidder.
