What if Garza does not return?

WTF is wrong with you to say such a thing? What if your children die? You just don't say those things.

What seems wrong with stating an obvious possible reality? I have read very little sports info through this virus standstill but did read enough to know that Luka has decided to go through the evaluation process. I still think he returns for next season but him not doesn't seem beyond the realm of possibility.

Agree.
I'd bet on him coming back, but I see nothing wrong with the speculation. If a team wants to use a second round pick on Luka and he gets a two way G league deal then he could certainly take that.

If that happens, it seems likely the flow of the offense would change dramatically. How could it not when you go from one of the best true offensive centers in the low post of the past several years of college ball to a replacement at the 5 who hasn't demonstrated a whole lot offensively in very little court time to date(Nunge) or a complete newbie to the college game who looks to be a project(Ogundele)?
 
Not really going out on a limb here, and too lazy to pin down exact minute breakdown by player, but you can take to the bank that our returning proven players will log heavy minutes.
After that, its speculative of course, but someone like Ogundele will have silver platter minutes if he wants to take/earn them. Patrick is a complete wildcard, has anyone heard anything on his health? I think Keegan Murray is Tailor Made for Fran's system. Kris too, but i just feel like Fran will have to limit the rotation and the former seems to bring a little more to the table at this stage.

Heavy Minutes:
JoBo
Toussaint
CJF
Weezy
CMac
Nunge

Moderate Minutes:
PMac
Keegan Murray
Ogundele

PS The potential lineup variety is intriguing, but we also will need either Nunge OR Ogundele to really rebound, limit fouls, play defense and limit TO's
 
You guys didn't read Garzas interview. He is not interested in G League BS. The only only only only way he will leave is if he is GUARANTEED to be on the 15 man active roster. The dude is not hurting for money. Id be willing to bet both of his parents make 150k plus a year. He's not in the Geno Stone category.

Read somebody’s draft predictions and Garza and Toppin (from Dayton) were NOT first round picks. Wish I could find the link.

I think he’ll come back BUT the only reason I could see him leaving is the opposite of what you said.

I wouldn’t be surprised if his parents are hurting for money. I hope I’m wrong about that.

His dad travels to every game doesn't he? Doesn't sound like a family with money issues...unless they're racking up the cc!

Garza is not taking the Tyler Cook route. Unless some team really likes him to the point they'll use a 1st Rd pick on him and guarantee him a real opportunity for PT, the only other alternative is for him to go through the evaluation process, receive praise and encouragement, then be told to work on quickness, athleticism, and becoming a better long-range shooter.

I have yet to see any reports that an NBA team is lining up to take him in the 1st Rd, so the chances of him leaving Iowa this year are slim to none.
 
His dad travels to every game doesn't he? Doesn't sound

His dad has stated he can work from anywhere so travel can be written off as an expense.

An article last week said he was at his parents apartment out east. Seems to me if they have a combined $300k income they would probably own, don't you think?
 
@goodbyebobby just because he can write it off does not mean it is free it still costs some decent money. BTW I have heard condos referred to as apartments. I have no idea if they own or not. Nor do I know anything about their local real estate market and if owning is even smart there
 
If they really are looking to buy a freezer they should contact Mrs. Alford. I'm pretty sure she still has friends who could help out:p

But you do know what Frank did in his younger days, yes?
 
I heard a rumor that Luka and his dad were in an appliance store in Coralville, purchasing a freezer.
