They had to do it, as Fran was going to find a way to make that group just slightly above average. Not sure how the Iowa Bulldogs is going to work out for them next year, but I think they did get a good coach if he can recruit the level of players that he needs there and get them to play in that system.
I live in eastern Iowa and have a lot of Hok friends, None of them wanted Fran gone because it would lead to this. But once Fran was gone, they all wanted McCollum over DeVries. (granted this is just my group of friends that felt this way)
That’s a crazy take and wonder if you’re just being contrary because of the hype. But this kid should be a senior in high school. He played up to the level of NBA all stars against the US Olympic team last summer. He was the 4th freshman ever to win the AP Player of the Year and the youngest to ever win it. Yeah, he is an “all around good player.”
This 100%…. And probably every one of the top 6 players we had this season!!
I can’t believe I’m doing this, but you do know Drake won as many NCAA tournament games as we did, beat a better team than we did and lost a much closer game to a much better team that us, right?
Johni had a great season, but Flagg had higher usage and better efficiency, even if I think Broome had a touch better season defensively. If we’re talking the last 20 games it’s clearly Flagg who was just historically good
Hawk fans saying they didn’t want him anyway cuz he can’t play defense for Ben.
We had half a Lipsey. You comparing a healthy Lipsey, Ill take him all day.
That’s been part of the discussion and Lipsey did play 34 minutes in that game.
They are never happy. Not with their AD, Coaches, players, or each other. I’ve never seen a fan base attack each other like they do. Cannibalistic.
Bloome played against higher competition than Flagg. ACC was trash this year. Bloome had more rebounds and blocks and less turnovers against much better competition.
He had a groin injury and only played because he had to. I really like Stirtz, and sure Tamin has been injured a lot, but an injured groin is far different than a wrapped up hand.
And we know they experts when it comes to defense
Pryce and Dix didn’t want to play for Ben. They also got paid more elsewhere.
