[herkhatescy]

Well for starters you’re using Iowa States worst season in a decade to make a claim that our programs are in similar places. But hey, no room for rationality on this board right?

So you're saying they have had 2 bad seasons in a row ?

ISU has a new coach. Using any data prior to Prohm is dumb.

@CP84 , you tagged me in the Lounge. If you need something, let me know. I am not a subscriber...

 

[mtdew_fever]

I really didnt expect this many responses when I started this thread. I just wanted to know Foster would be verbally committing to Iowa.

Someone said we need a thread citing all the people who said Foster was a lock to ISU. I said just ask you to get one going.

Crystal Ball prediction is now back to 100% Hawks as the two undecided switched back to IA again.

 

[papabeef]

Woodbury was great because he forced opponents to alter their shot, not because he swatted shots at the rim. Different style of rim protector.

lol lol lol nice try

 

[Ballhawk1221]

Cool dude. Glad we're furiously debating the merits of someone who hasn't played for Iowa since 2016.

 

[papabeef]

Olaseni is probably the only other option besides Woodbury. But apparently you hate Woodbury.

I hate the way you hit the spacebar when following it up with a comma or period.

i hate nobody . he is probably a great kid , not a great basketball player .

 

[papabeef]

Oh hey look, you got someone to bite the bait. Now you can repeat the same talking points without having to actually think about what you’re saying because you memorized the Woodbury argument by heart. Nice job there Skip Bayless.

thanks for the compliment .

Huge get if this holds true.

 

[walleye hunter16]

I think nearly everyone who is close to the program or follows it closely has a pretty strong feeling about what school he will choose. However this is Xavier’s show and he ought to be allowed to run it.

As is should be in all cases.

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

If we get the X we absolutely need to go get the O. Lock down 4 & 5 for the next four years. Great nickname for the pair...that'll get some Sports Center mention. Hopefully some good news tomorrow morning.

CyFan is starting to flip towards Iowa. This thread is going to be gold the next day or so.

What an embarrassing thread. 2,100 posts and now they’ve decided they don’t want him.

 

[relishingwinning18]

I dont Understand Iowa State fans bagging on Iowas program right now. Over the last two years we have more wins, and more NCAA tournament wins. I dont think what we’ve done is impressive by any meams, but ISU is right there with us. Finally, their last two recruiting classes have been just like ours, what am I missing?

Well for starters you’re using Iowa States worst season in a decade to make a claim that our programs are in similar places. But hey, no room for rationality on this board right?

Well im using the two seasons that are full of your current coaches players, which seems relevant, right? Or are you really stupid enough to continue to talk about Hoiberg’s success at Iowa State, as though it matters now. Rationality, come on goofball.

If we get the good news tomorrow morning, I'm blasting this song:



And if the Iowa pep band is worth a damn, they will play this song at every single game

I foresee a frontcourt of Garza and Foster breaking the backs of ISU going for our 4th straight over them next season.

You currently have won one straight over us. How are you going to get to 4 straight by next year?

Oh my bad, next year will be 4 of the last 5 after getting the win at Hilton this year.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Foster would be a great addition on defense- our guards could use a shot blocker.

 

[Hawks4Life86]

Erik Hansen? Woodbury was solid

Solid at poking eyes and talking a bigger game than he had. Hansen I agree with totally.

 

[IowaPride95]

Oh my bad, next year will be 4 of the last 5 after getting the win at Hilton this year.

I just assumed you had Iowa beating ISU in an NIT game again this year to get to 3 before next year's game.

Possible

I take it he's a Clown fan?

NO , not even close

 

[papabeef]

Anybody who doesn’t think Woodbury was a very good Defensive big man and someone who made the whole defensive unit better, likely doesn’t understand basketball and didn’t play any organized basketball.

and anyone who thinks he was a good defensive player probably has their head up his ass . do you have problems breathing ?

 

[pocha444444]

This is funny! How many fans know any backup NBA PGs other than those who went to their alma mater?

Most fans? All fans?

Maybe they got poked in eye and can’t see that well.

 

[Ballhawk1221]

For no reason in particular, here are Iowa's defensive efficiency rankings in the Fran era.

Yeah, he was notorious for talking shit.

I am having some trouble breathing from laughing so hard at your Simple Jack-like responses and thoughts.

“I ain’t got a go-go-good brain.”

I just assumed you had Iowa beating ISU in an NIT game again this year to get to 3 before next year's game.

I just assumed he was mistakenly thinking of how many times in a row that we’ve beat you in football.

But then I remembered that we’ve beat you way more than 4 straight in fball.

5 is way more than 4?

I don’t get how Iowa fans let what Iowa State does effect them so much. It used to be the national championship for Iowa state and just another game for the Hawks. Now Hawk fans treat it as a national championship. I’m a huge Hawk fan. But cheer for all the teams in the state. Hope we get Foster, if we don’t then I hope the Cyclone get him. This is a high school kid you guys are stalking. To have the prep band play a song or the crowd do a chant for him over the kids that are already here? The ones that are already in the program, lifting weights, morning workouts, and representing our school. Seams disrespectful to them. Relax let the kid choose his life without the pressure to make yours better. That should be on you. Should be fun time for him. Iowa and Iowa State basketball programs will both be fine!!

 

[DodgerHawki]

It is. I hope he becomes a Hawk. But good luck to him wherever he goes. He would help Iowa immediately, and stop with the comments of "he's not dominating high school." He's 6-11 and has mobility and athleticism and decent outside touch. If he's willing to work, he has the chance to be a very good player. And Iowa just does not have his combination of size and athleticism on the roster. I get that all the big teams didn't offer, but he still has tremendous upside that Iowa desperately needs.

total coincidence that frans best defensive team happened with him here, right?

huh? I don’t think most iowa fans give a crap about ISU. Most I know don’t even want to play them.
