Tony Perkins enters the Transfer Portal
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
You could tell something was up the way he played his last few games
Not surprising at all. Played like crap last few games. He had some big games for us but was very inconsistent .
Thanks for the memories Tony! Wish Iowa would have done more to support you winning basketball games but it wasn’t in the cards. One of my favorite Hawkeyes in a long time!
I could honestly see him staying in the BIG. Not sure that would land him a big payday, per se, but maybe w decent payday with a chance to play some winning basketball. No hard feelings from me if that’s how it shakes out.
And the statement from Fran wishing him well?
damn Transfer Portal Potty
Not surprised at all. Best of luck to him in the future.
He did give us 4 years though. Can't wait for the last of the COVID year crap to be done.
This one stings.
I wish we had resources to retain his services if this is about NIL.
He struggled late in the year but was probably playing with wrist injury.
His shooting was sketchy after the wrist injury which makes sense.
I will again quote new MICH coach Dusty May from his introductory presser today
" at FAU I spent 20 to 25 % of my time on working to enhance our NIL collective, meeting with boosters and business people"
This seems to be the new job description for college coaches.
Can Fran adapt?

Can’t be upset at a guy who gave us 4 years. Also can’t be upset at a guy for leaving when he’s gotten marginal support from fans and the program is stagnant
I really hope he doesn’t go to Indiana/purdue and play us next year. But Tony earned the right to go anywhere he wants

I am very happy that this is the last year of the additional year of eligibility due to COVID. 24 or 25 year old men and women should not be playing college basketball after four years. It also takes roster spots for younger players.
A really good player whose inconsistency and sometimes overzealous defending or whatever kept him from being a 4.5 out of 5.
If he gets on a team with a real good pt guard and he is the starting 2 and can really zero in his shot he could have a big year. If he shoots better from trey range and players run at him he can dribble drive for layups and stuffs. He has to find that type of game

Gee, who saw that coming after his I don’t give a shit performance in SLC.
Has the same feel as the end of the Lick era. Transfers were less common then, but multiple Years in a row Lick would lose one of his top 3 players.
I know that there is a lot more player movement now, but Tony seemed like a HAWKEYE yet Fran can't keep him.
Time to turn the page BETH!

Absolutely. This should have been only for the seniors the covid year when the schedule was disrupted........
Brock Harding better begin preparing to play a ton of minutes next season.
I gave Fran a B- this year as a rebuilding season
That kind of pass is over now.
Officially Fran is on the clock.
Next year..pass/fail test is making the NCAA tourney, period.
As of right now this roster needs more talent to achieve that, imo.

Considering Iowa’s nearly non existent NIL support, they aren’t in a position to pay Tony’s asking fee(I’m hearing 300k). It’s best to move on.
Can Dix please pull a Gatens and get Fran canned?
Tony didn’t really have anything anchoring him to the program any longer either. Really can’t blame him for giving it one more year elsewhere. Remember, he came in with Ogundele, the Murray’s, and Ulis. The year before him was Toussaint and Pmac. The year after was Mulvey and Sandfort. Not really anyone left (other than Sandfort) to “run it back with” like CCs crew.
Tony is looking for $300,000 ?????
WTF
Is it too late to contact the FBI???
300k seems like a lot for missed layups
Like many others I'm not surprised and have thought for a long time this is what would happen. Tony said as much himself many months ago in stating that this was his last year at Iowa.
While he certainly had his flaws, I appreciate what he gave for 4 years. Despite the letdown in the last few games he was the best all around player on the floor for Iowa this year taking the entire season into account.
Good luck to him in finding a nice one year payday where he gets to play his natural spot as a 2 on a team with a chance to make a run in the tourney.

Yeah, pretty much as expected, but kind of sad for Hawkeye fans IMO.
He was very good at times and at other times he was totally out of control. His career ended with a thud at Iowa in the last few games IMO as well. Good luck TP, just not in the BIG.
McCaffery better figure out the guard situation and the portal or Iowa will be in the bottom third of BIG next year. Personally, not very optimistic.

Not many outside of the bluebloods can afford to pay that to ONE player.
I don't think Kansas or Kentucky needs him ...perhaps North Carolina will need a one-and-done bridge guard in a rebuilding year. I could also see deep pocket programs like Texas, Michigan and Oregon reaching out.
I think he could get that or more. All Big - Ten second team. We can all thank Jordan Bohannon for this though!Tony is looking for $300,000 ?????

Middle of the pack Big East teams and middle to upper of the pack SEC teams (not Kentucky) are paying north of 500k for Rutgers big guy. Schools that are probably comparable or just a slight step up from Iowa.
hey now, he got a sweet trip to Utah in March out of it
