They weren't the best players but Olesani and Basabe were guys I just liked.
Players You Were Sad To See Go

In the Fran era there are only a couple I was happy to see go.
I'm not sure I'd consider someone a fan of the team if they are happy to see guys like Basabe, Marble, White, Gesell, Woody, Uthoff, Jbo, Garza, etc leave. So, I'm assuming the OP doesn't actually like Iowa basketball.

Yes, was among 4 Tennessee players arrested for weapon charges and marijuana possession as a senior and was dismissed from the team. Played some professional basketball in Turkey and Israel.
As a freshmen at Iowa, he was some electric player...would have loved to see him stay at Iowa all four years. Wasn't meant to be...
I would have loved to see him stay out of trouble. He had skills but I doubt Alford could have kept him out of trouble at Iowa.
This pretty much proves my point. In 11 years of Fran there’s only been three players you were sad to see go. And actually I doubt if I really looked I would find any positive posts from you right after Uthoff or Whites last season ended.
Literally no one was sad that Gessel and Clemons were leaving. Stop with the revisionist history.
How about you quit overlaying your pitiful jaded view over others. You have nothing but your own anger to prove Hans81 wasn't sincere in his/her post.
Don't tell me what players I can appreciate @sshole. And Clemmons was a pretty strong defender and a good player who doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Iowa would have lost plenty more games w/o him.
The Fran era has been covered already, so in my lifetime, here are some more that come to mind right away:
Andre Woolridge
Jess Settles
Acie Earl
Val Barnes
Ray Thompson
Jeff Moe
Horner, Brunner, Haluska
But nothing will top the sadness I felt when BJ Armstrong, Roy Marble, and Ed Horton walked off the court for the last time. Tough loss to NCST brought to an end the best era of Iowa hoops (of my lifetime).

He used the excuse of leaving Iowa after Alford left for New Mexico to be closer to his father that had cancer. That's the story anyway....
If you believe you are representative of most Iowa fans, you are truly delusional.
