Gonzaga has had tons of great multi year players in their program for a long time. Closest they have come to winning the championship is because they had Suggs and Chet Holmgren to go with the solid foundation.

Obviously you need good 4 year players to have a good program, but mixing in NBA lottery talent with your roster is a fun "problem" to have. Oh, and we do have a good 4 year player in this class. I'll take him with Omaha.

I’m not convinced that he won’t be an eventual early entrant, too.

I think Holmgren lost prior to the Final Four.

I’m sorry, I forgot where I was. I was thinking of a rational discussion. Forgot you guys can’t do that. See ya.
Saying Pryce is a very good high school basketball player who put up better stats which determines Mr. BB would be a rational argument and make sense. Saying Pryce is a better basketball player than Omaha is flat out wrong lol. I'm not the one who brought the irrationality to the argument

I may be in the minority, but I wouldn't want Sandfort. I wouldn't want the older one either.
I'd take Pryce because who knows what he could mold into at a different school but at Iowa, he's going to end up shuffling around the 3 pt line throwing up as many threes as possible while not playing a lick of defense.

No one questions Omaha has the far better potential In the long term (both college and pro), hence his 5 star rating. Better player in HS isn’t based on potential. In HS it’s all about the stats and winning In determining Mr. BB. Pryce has the edge in stats in virtually every category including rebounding and they won 2 of 3 in head to head. So to blame his winning on “voters who are old Iowa fans” Is like blaming officials for every loss (and yes we fans all do that). But, give Pryce his credit — he deserved to win. Additionally, Pryce will most likely be at Iowa for 4 years, Omaha a max of 2. So who is likely to have the better college career?

So umm stats. Omaha has better stats across the board

Which one is more likely to play in a Sweet 16?

Where did I say Pryce was a better player?

We've heard a lot of funny basketball recruiting arguments over the years from Iowa fans. Not wanting to land 5* prospects is one of the weirder ones.

Haydenism means you are from the CR/Marion area and read from The Gazette in 2013 that making an NIT run was a better sports story than a 2nd round NCAA tourney appearance so 4 year local kids that play their best ball in December are your best hope.

Plus if Pryce didn't get it, then the McAssrey bros would be counseling him on how to be a **** and to tweet jealously about the guy who did.

I would be even more annoyed with this thread if I had opted out of in-state rivals, just infested with Hawk trolls. Every time I see it, I worry something happened to Omaha.

If length of stay is what defines a better college career, then Jordan Bohannon is the greatest college basketball player of all time.
