Hawk Fan Reactions to XF Announcement

[CyTwins]

Not saying it will happen but Wieskamp could go pro and J-Bo could be a grad transfer with options for tourney level teams. Then we'd get to see McCaffery boys as starters for his dad.

The fact Connor McCaffrey is a starting P5 point guard is one of the funniest things I've ever seen

 

[iahawks]

I wonder who Barta would hire if he fired Fran

i wouldn’t want him making the decision that is for sure.

I do think Wieskamp will go pro but I am higher on him than some. I think his age plays a big factor in his decision. Turned 20 in August so old for his class.

Is this a audition for Last Comic Standing

 

[Sigmapolis]

Yeah. And the fact that Monte actually did NOT start right away during his Frosh year (was behind Kane), would also refute the crap that some are spouting.

Matt and Monté player two years under each Hoiberg and Prohm.





Those are some tasty development arcs.

I love that Iowa fans think our AD is light years better than theirs. Warms my heart

How Barta still has a job is crazy.

J-Bo can really shoot the rock. There are teams that could use a specialist like him.

TJ Otz, Travis Ford, Rick Stansbury.

yeah that guy should try harder, and maybe stop going to walmart

He's also a huge liability on the defensive side of the ball and a lot of teams would look at that. I'm not saying he's not good I honestly think that he's gotten a chance at Iowa to be the guy and has done pretty well there. He's turned into someone that some fans have already called a "legend" (I'm not making that up). If he'd go somewhere else, that fan base is not going to see him as such. He's staying at Iowa.

 

[Cyclone.TV]

Just don't know why you would want that to be your public face, even if it is the real you. Of course Twitter is probably full of that.

It is, and it is odd. And that seems to be his real name. Yikes.

Barta: Does Kirk have any kids that know something about basketball?

Assistant: No

Barta: Does he have any kids that have watched a basketball game?

He'd be fine as a gunner you play 20 minutes per night behind 3-4 guards with more well-rounded games and try to hide on your opponents' worst guard. Any decent coach is going to try to get him switched to somebody that will break his ankles, though.

As a full-time starter in the Big Ten, his deficiencies are exploited.

As a Donovan Jackson sort of bench gunner, I think he would do well on even some of the better teams in the country. He would have a long list of suitors.

They just started a thread in the last hour on Hawkeye Report called Fran's Hot Seat Temperature. Friends, there is not much else on the internet today I could recommend more strongly.

Dang, we will be lucky to keep the game against them within 20. Their roster is LOADED with top 100 players . . . . including Joe T.

Yeah I guess him coming in every now and then to hit a three or two would suit him really well. But yeah, him starting at a better program would not be likely!

 

[Bipolarcy]

His only other P5 offer is Rutgers.
