Sure missing Jordon
- Thread starter Drmac22
- Start date
I was in the “there is no way that Bohannon grad transfers next year” boat around the time of his announcement. However, I did not anticipate that Fredrick would continue as to emerge as he has, or that Toussaint would continue to improve/develop as he has.
I still think that there would be a lot of value in Jordan finishing out his career as a Hawkeye, and a fantastic opportunity for him to be a part of one of Iowa’s best teams in a long time, but would no longer be surprised if he decides to go elsewhere. His role on next year’s team would be dramatically reduced from years’ past

The guy who personally autographed his shoes and left them as a souvenir on the Hilton Colosseum floor will be back!
So something like this?
JBo- Toussaint (Ulis RS)
CJ- Perkins (Murray RS)
Weezie- PMac- (Murray RS)
CMac- Nunge- Pemsl
Garza- Nunge- Ogundele

Bohannon in place of Touissant in the starting lineup is an unguardable offensive squad. McCaffery in the pick and role with Garza surrounded by three big time shooters. There's only so much room for Iowa to improve on that end next season, but it becomes a really easy game with that lineup. Teams are either going to guard Garza one on one or scramble to rotate to cover all of our shooters.
I agree 100%, though I also think that Toussaint continues to improve dramatically as a scorer, and that improved defense is what would turn Iowa from a good team to a great team. Their offense is already elite. Regardless of what lineups Fran puts on the court, it’s difficult to deny that having Bohannon back would be a great thing for next year’s Iowa team
I wonder if Fran thinks it's too easy to defend us even if we keep one of our "big three" on the court, that he figures just bite the bullet and hope we don't lose too much ground and then put all three back in. Just a thought.
I think that’s exactly what the strategy is. Basically, hold on for a few minutes of game time while the starters rest up, then throw them back in to take over again. It’s an unfortunate effect of the injuries the Hawks have faced this year, but I agree the strategy in general. It still makes me anxious to watch haha
We run really good sets, especially considering how many good defenses we play. There are nights we just don't make the shots, but they are few and far between. We don't see those long scoreless stretches anymore, just the occasional short periods with our bench. Three legit scorers and others that can step up from time to time. They're really fun to watch and if the defense keeps trending in the right direction they could be a very tough out in the tourney.
