Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[CyTwins]

"I will say this about the 2020 class. We've been wanting fallback recruits who shoot 22% from the line. You have it now."

okay he’s not wrong that randy is an idiot but so is chad.

Chad is worse than Randy which is almost an impossible feat

oh Randy has definitely passed his prime, and is on to doddering old man stage.

but to say chad is objective is just remarkably stupid.

 

[GTO]

That Ogundele kid is thicc.

Chad is the biggest homer I've ever seen. The guy is from Iowa City....

 

[Stewo]

Because....? Skin color? Bring honest here.

JO looks to be one of those kids you think could develop into a nice backup post man in a few years... not a prospect you take with your final scholarship in November..

Reminds me of Daniel Edozie. Role player when they needed a starter.

Honestly probably not worth reading the whole thread or anything but the title made me laugh.

Malou would have been great here

Morris
Mitrou-Long
Thomas
Burton
Malou
---
Jackson
Weiler-Babb
Bowie
Young

...that is one heck of a team.

I don't know why you would take an unathletic big man who shoots 22% from the line at any point

I can imagine the first practice next fall.

JO "So coach, what's our offensive strategy?"
Mad Fran "We usually like to run full speed and out of control into the lane and hope we get fouled!"
JO "Um coach, ummm I shot 22% from the line"
Mad Fran "Wait, what?? Okay, okay. We've overcome this before. Have you ever poked anyone in eyes before?"

ALL Fran's recruits are role players. Period. Guys who should come off the bench and play about 5-10 minutes. I think that is one reason why he plays 11-12 guys all the time.

They are all 6th man types. Nice to have on your team, but god help you if they have to play 25+ minutes for you.

Here's a juicy quote from HR:
"Very happy we got Ogendele. He has the build and size to play in the BIG, something that concerned me about Foster. Josh has a very soft shooting touch and can shoot from range. Is also very athletic."

This person was concerned that 7'0" 225 pound Xavier Foster wouldn't be big enough to play in the Big 10. Lol Also to the second bolded part.. really? Really?

The best part about this is I bet this guy isn’t the least bit concerned about Patrick Mac’s size.

Oh no doubt. He probably thought Patrick's "athleticism" would make up for his skinniness. Patrick would probably be redshirted at 99% of other P5 schools but there's an easy explanation as to why he will not be at Iowa.

I would say Garza and Weiscamp aren't 6th man types, but everyone else basically is and I completely agree that's why he plays so many players.

 

[Cyclone.TV]

huh, that guy has me blocked on twitter.

 

[Statefan10]

"Strictly as a 5 playing in the paint, I like this Ogundele recruitment better than Foster,... not at all hating on Foster."

The takes just keep on coming.

"Patrick is not athletic, but he's scrappy!" - Hok fan, probably.

 

[CyTwins]

What a beautiful sight

 

[CyTwins]

Why didn't Iowa put the stars next to their players who signed?

I saw this also. I don't think he realizes what pumping the brakes is usually referring to.
