Damn, and sitting right next to Mama bear too. I've often wondered what their relationship was like. Given that Marge was a really good college player (not of CC22's level and from a different era). Still I'd think they've had some interesting converstaios.....
Why McCaffery brothers left Iowa
- Thread starter RIGHTWINGHAWK
- Start date
Jacari White, guard for ndst, has 24 points on 9 of 10 shooting at halftime.
Patrick struggling...white outscored Butler... 44-23 at half.
It’s behind a pay wall. Other than I don’t care why they did not choose iowa
Butler come back occurring with Pat on the bench, basically entire second half since he doesn’t play defense or rebound on either end, makes sense.

Butler is not good. That’s a brutal loss, especially after what a good comeback Butler had. I had the game on but wasn’t paying attention. Butler was down maybe 15 with under ten minutes left, then up 5 with maybe two or three minutes left, and then lost.
It was a heck of a comeback. Spent it getting it back and didn't have anything left in the tank late.
Walters and Bloom were sports agents who paid Harmon early to represent him. They would have met with Ronnie when he was back home in NJ or via family members. Bloom had a sports agency and had signed paid several other athletes early for future representation. Both “agents” were backed by the mafia, not boosters from Iowa. Bloom was shot dead in his CA home at the age of 34 in 1993. Walters had supposedly threatened other agents and players including to break both hands of a WR from Texas who was going to sign with another agent after taking Walter’s money. Some shady shit happened at the 1986 Rose Bowl.

0 fouls. Patrick is averse to contact.
This was always the most intriguing stat to me. The number of games in which Patrick had zero or one fouls with all of those minutes played was incredible. He averaged less than one foul per game his entire career at Iowa. He's averaging .7 this year. Gotta be some kind of modern record.
He is 11th in the country right now with .8 fouls per 40 minutes
In as always amazed more with his barely existent offensive rebound stats. You almost have to run away from the ball to not occasionally just have one bounce off the rim your direction. He averaged 23 minutes a game and had 5 offensive rebounds TOTAL last year.
He was running back down court as the ball was in the air.
I really miss the flying off balanced/off the wrong foot/sideways jumper through the lane clanked off the side of the rim. I don’t even blame Patrick for that. You’d think a jump stop and playing off 2 feet would’ve been coached into him at some point. Or the attention to detail defensively and the importance of rebounding
No, he lived in Coralville and bought a large home not in Manville Hts. I know what I'm talking about...
Now I understand why they left
No one should suffer through more Fran ball

Pat's physical toughness and rebounding would have been huge in the game tonight for Iowa.
He could have had a competition with Sandfort to see who could have the most off balance shots taken

If Fran is a good coach, then TJ over in Ames is John Wooden. Crazy talk. especially the recruiting challenges. When was the last time you were in Ames? How in God's name you get guys to come to that shithole is beyond me, but they do it.
On the other hand, Iowa City has turned into a Freak show so I guess I can understand not wanting to be there.
And I thought it was next to impossible to recruit talent to Iowa City, unlike Ames or Champaign-Urbana. I guess some posters on this board must have missed this part of Iowa history.
You should research how all of those stars got to John Wooden, he had one of the premier bag men in the game.
Would Wooden have fit the definition of a great coach without the bag man?
Ralph number 1 Raveling 2. Lute got the best recuit ever but could have been R Davis.
That was a LONG time ago, and the NIL crap has made it that much more difficult to get top recruits to come to Iowa. Fran has recruited a number of under the radar guys who became great players (Whitey, Luka, Keegan...), but you can't do better than pretty good with any regularity without getting some top recruits.
You do know CC is apparently still dating Connor, right? No surprise she sat next to Margaret.
