Besides no recruiting, double the pay, better players and a chance to win an NBA championship?
Plus, a link saying that they were confident was posted about 10 times on CF yesterday.
Yep. If I was in his position, my logic would be, yes I want to go to the NBA sooner rather than later, and if I don't go this year and leaving after next year will deplete the program, then I either go now or wait 3-4 years for roster to balance out.
You have to remember that Fred lived thru a similar situation with Orr leaving early instead of finishing out coaching Fred and the other seniors that year.
Hoiberg, Meyer, Michalik, and Beechum were all going into their senior season when Orr decided to step away and leave a solid team for the new coach. Now today it's Niang, Naz, McKay and Monte that will be left for a new coach.
Yeah, not much here either...I mean, no malice or anything, but I don't follow the NBA, so like when he was playing, someone says something about what he was doing, my response would be along the lines of "hmm...that's cool" and right back to whatever I was doing before.
100% concur. I have no interest in the Bulls and their poopy pants (did I do that right Hoops?)
Bulls truly put the bull in bs. Wondered why on earth Fred wanted to associate himself with these people. Having read through his quotes about his dream job at ISU the last few days, I guess he will fit right in.
here is a link from yesterday - the text of the article states that they are 'quietly confident'.........that probably doesn't bode well from them, based on the results of 'quiet confidence' we've read on this website....

I don't really care about the NBA at all, and don't watch hardly any games, but I will actually be hoping the Bulls are horrible next year.
As a person I know that is a horrible thing to do.... I should want nothing but the best for Fred, but I just can't bring myself to that point. If the Bulls fail and Fred gets canned, he will still be set for life financially, so it's not like we will all need to feel sorry for him. He will be just fine.
I just like it when there are consequences realized to one's decisions. For example, if a baseball player uses steroids, I don't want them to succeed and not understand what a poor decision they made. I want their body to break down and for them not to succeed so that they realize the negative consequences of their poor decision.
I know Fred's decision is different in that he isn't cheating or doing anything illegal, but I do believe it is a horrible career move on his part, and it wouldn't hurt me one bit if he quickly discovers that and has to learn from it.
You don't mess with karma. And Fred had the perfect job and life in Ames, and now he's going to mess with that karma because he thinks the grass is greener in the NBA for some odd reason? I think most guys that have jumped to the NBA will tell you it's not all that it's cracked up to be. It will not hurt me in the least if Fred does not find success there. In fact, I will be a bit happier if he doesn't, and he realizes just how good he really had it in Ames.

This mite just be the Greatest Post of all time....................I loved the "no interest in non-ISU Fred".................
I can guarantee you that the AD PUSHED ORR out of his job................Good old John Orr wanted One more year and the athletic dept said..."Hit the Door Jack er Johnny"......
I think Fred is a better fit in Minnesota. The front office would be far friendlier to him. Garpax have never had a good relationship with a Coach. Whether it is Gar or Paxson, whoo knows, but they don't treat them very well.
I would think Flip and Fred could have a lot of fun with the Wolves.
