To be fair, there is one thing he has in common with NBA big men. He travels a lot. Outside of that, he's got nothing. He will probably end up in Serbia or some place like that as a role player. No shame in that.
The Fran fade
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Luka isn't going to win it next year. This year is his best chance hence the begging for votes
I would tend to agree.. Guys like Garza are extremely hard to come by. Once he's gone the likelihood of a decline is very high but who knows.
A quick peak at their most recent recruiting class tells me they are probably not even going to be in the NIT 2 years from now. Woof.
Yeah that's most likely to be true. You never know how guys develop but they're going to have to be ready to play in a year's time considering Luka, J-Bo, Pemsl, and possibly Joe W. will no longer be there.
"I would do the same again" sure illustrates just how serious he is. Don't see that every day. Most people would randomly change their vote.
and things are trending up for you? Prohm gives you a high level of confidence. If so you may be in the minority. I say Fran wins more games over the next 2 years than Prohm.
I'm hoping Fran is at Iowa the next two years and I don't think Prohm will be at Iowa State more than one year
What's your outlook for the Clones? NIT bubble next season? Final four the following year?
Doesn't change the win total does it? Who gets more wins the next 2 seasons - Fran or Prohm + next man in ?
To me the big difference between Toppin and Garza is usage rage. Garza was used at a much higher percentage than Toppin. I think they are similar players, but Garza's statistical lead is largely due to having more opportunity.
I mean Garza took 530 shots to Toppin's 387, but Patrick is citing PPG figures...

We certainly have a much better recruiting class coming in. Next year you will go back to a 11 or 12 man rotation so we will probably have a similar record. The year after, we will be light years ahead of you.
Next year we will be an NCAA bubble team. This is assuming we pick up an impact transfer like I believe we will. The following year, tournament team for sure. But so much can change between then and now. Iowa is at their peak, but they have 0 help coming. After Garza is gone it's back to a dumpster fire. All this year did is buy Fran more time. That's good for me!!
