Fran McCaffery and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Transfer Portal

[Acylum]

I mean, he's not wrong if you consider it as "Iowa, the school" not "Iowa, the state". There's a bunch of reasons for that.

I think that’s what was intended.

Iowa ain't done with defections

Yep, hearing at least one more soon.

Unless its kris its not an impact player

Guessing Ogundele? Not sure who else would leave. Seems like Mulvey would stick around.

Perkins and to a lesser extent Ulis would hurt since they just lost some depth with Joe T. I know they have a kid coming in they’re excited about but Ulis/Perkins will be needed next year.

I could see Ulis leave. Not many minutes in B1G tourney and zero minutes vs Richmond.

(I'm assuming he wasn't hurt?)

Wow - that is awesome. So Lickliter's kid played for Iowa and was terrible, I take it? Did it really matter since weren't Lickliter teams just absolutely atrocious?

Collective sigh of relief from the Cyclone faithful. Now we wait on pins and needles to see who next year's Luka or Keegan is gonna be.

There’s literally only Kris who fits the mold

Happy that a kid from the state of Iowa is about to go and get drafted in the lottery, but, I would not have been concerned in the slightest if Murray stuck around for another year. Confused would’ve been about the only emotion

Say it so Joe?!

Do I dare check Twitter for hawk fan reactions?

Don't underestimate how many plays will be mandated to go through Patrick.

Well this is shocking:

Oh man... Does Tyrese know?

That's what they want us to think.

Fast forward 7 months from now. Patrick has put on 20 pounds of muscle and spent all off season shooting 35' threes with Luka. Filip Rebraca puts up numbers like he did at North Dakota. Payton Sandfort gets adequate playing time and becomes a high volume 3 point scorer at 40+% and pushes for all big 10 consideration. Tony Perkins just takes over with his athleticism and develops a nice 3 point stroke to go with it.

I could see any of that happening aside from the Patrick part, which I hope comes across as funny as it sounded in my head.

That's what I was saying.

There’s zero reason to call any transfer ISU has ever gotten a thug. It was Iowa fans way of showing their racism and lack of awareness without overtly saying, “we’re racist and iowa is doing it the white right way!”

I guess you are saying Fran is racist? He is a lot of things, including a crap coach, but I don't think he is that. I don't think it's fair to imply that, and to my knowledge in his years of coaching has never been thought of like that.

 

[Acylum]

Oh man... Does Tyrese know?

Only thing I can figure is he got Tre and Tyrese confused. Somehow.

This guy was perfect for their culture. A dirty player. Not sure what will be a better fit for him.

A lot of teams in the east coast play dirty and chippy. Syracuse and Virginia come to mind. A St John's or Seton Hall. That said, I'm not sure Joe is the caliber of player to get looks from a P6 school.
