Surprise (or not): Iowa out of running for Hauser Bros.

[Ballhawk1221]

I never seriously thought they would pick Iowa, but at least figured they'd take a visit. No need to keep speculating.

 

[Crazy Hawk]

Looks like Iowa is at 0-3 in landing a transfer.

 

[Rustys Dad]

I would not and could not ever be a recruiter ...

[Buddehawk]

Never thought we had a shot

More racial backlash: the Hausers know you can’t win without more diversity.

Ha!

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Not a surprise.

Other than geographic proximity, there was no reason to see Iowa as a potential landing spot for them.

Geez first Harvey now the Hauser bros way to earn your check Fran! Just awful!

So true

Hawkeye fans in April: I wish Fran would even just TRY to get some transfers!
Hawkeye fans in May: Fran can't land ANY transfers, what a joke!

 

[HawkGem11]

Fran is a true strike out King when it comes to recruiting, and he is even more of a clown show as a coach, no way this fool should still be here coaching Iowa....

 

[HerkyFan]

Clown fans are to be laughed at not taken seriously.

I am sure that Iowa was a fall back plan for the Hausers . I predict Virginia.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Well, that's a bummer.

I was thinking we needed more white guys to balance out the roster.

Can’t we recruit some smart kids to take classes for some one and dones? We got to compete someway.

Fran has been really good at recruiting his kids...so there is that.

TC was his child? That explains a LOT!

They supposedly left Marquette because an African-American guard came back for his senior who they disliked.

Lesson would be to get a coach with better ability to sell his program.

 

[DEREKoh2]

Why not go to Vanderbilt?

 

[hexumhawk]

Why would anyone be surprised. We have been downright awful at closing the deal on the recruiting trail for years. Time for a new staff to breath some new life into Iowa basketball?

A well researched article from the Virginia perspective:

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Were we really after them? Honest question. I'm coaching and don't have much time to look at all this. I knew they were in the portal but I wasn't aware we were after them.

 

[Hawkdogwoof]

So we bitched when Fran didn’t go after transfers, now we bitch when he goes after them and doesn’t land them. I guess the next step is to bitch about a transfer he lands not being good enough. See a trend here?

Iowa doesn't do what needs to be done if you want to land those recruits. On the flip side, Iowa is also not being investigated by the FBI. NCAA basketball recruiting is so dirty that it delegitimizes the winning teams imo.

Interesting. They split. One went to Virginia. The other to Michigan State.

Wisconsin left with four open scholarships.

I think this is a BIG blow to the Badgers. It wasn't good for Iowa to not get them, but being from Wisconsin, Gard needed to get these guys. Gard will be gone in 2 more seasons.

Neither one was a guard that Iowa needed.

The changing of the Gard.
