Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

This guy looks good in cardinal and gold. Hope he gets confused next year and throws a few passes right to us.
I know several people that operate like this and they're all Hok fans. Basically that mentality of trying to impress people like high school or all things 1980s.
He'll come in with a chip on his shoulder because he had no major offers. Perfect Fran material. The haks didn't really need a scoring threat; they needed an actual ball handler who doesn't turn it over every other possession. I think he'll help the haks be at least a somewhat competent team next season. Without him I agree they'd be an absolute dumpster fire. We'll see how long it takes Fran to bully Toussaint into transferring away.
Lol remember when they made the NIT in Jorbo's freshman season? They were set up for big things! Jorbo even predicted a Final Four. Now we get to extend that timeline even further! And all they have to show is one NCAA tournament win.
This is true. Their inability to find or develop a PG as a program has been mystifying.
Put Nick (from last year) or Haliburton (this upcoming season) on that team and, well, they would still probably suck on defense, but they would score at a ridiculous clip.
I grew up in eastern Iowa so I think I fully understand.
Has The Gazette started their hype machine for some 3rd string Iowa football player who walked on from Emmetsburg?
I wasn’t sure if it was Bohannon who predicted multiple final fours. They thought they had several all BIG first team players (Cook, Bohannon, Pemsl, Garza).
From Hawkcentral.com:
Who will replace Moss’ shooting-guard role next season?
Although Cook’s departure was expected, Iowa has available power-forward bodies in Cordell Pemsl, Ryan Kriener and Jack Nunge to replace him.
The loss of an athletic, 6-foot-5 wing player, however, leaves a bigger mark.
Moss was a 96-game starter at shooting guard and made 39% of his career 3-pointers.
As a solution, McCaffery echoed a name I’ve heard a lot of buzz about: CJ Fredrick. The 6-foot-3 native of Covington, Kentucky, was impressing coaches behind the scenes while redshirting as a freshman. Even if Moss had stayed, Fredrick likely would’ve cut into those minutes.
McCaffery (on Fredrick): “He’s complete. He can play the point, he can play the 2, he can come off screens, he can shoot 3s. He’s quick, and he’s a really good athlete. He can guard. He can get to the rim and finish. He can score in a bundle. He gives it up easy. Those guys are hard to find, guys that can really score."
Is this the guy who John Calipari would have offered if he had an open scholarship? The best player in Kentucky?

I’m 5 11 and mildly overweight. I would love to post up JoeBo. Call me Busdriver

MadFran left out that Freddy's an ace FT shooter too, probably because he's saving those props for Junior since it's about the only thing he does well.
