Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

[FinalFourCy]

This wouldn't even be a good Missouri Valley recruiting class

You’re clearly a high-major guy.

It could/should be a good MVC class. Recruiting rankings are nearly irrelevant for mid-major recruiting. The fit is good. Although he can’t land his first 50 targets, Fran has a decent eye for talent imo. He’ll have them at an average mid-major level. Iowa could do a lot worse than Fran.

Iowa fans can't forget Todd Lickliter if they want to get rid of Fran

Have fun with Kenyons kids.

I will....

I enjoyed their getting thumped by Depaul as much as the next guy, and I am both unsurprised and glad they are bad as they are.

But I honestly don't want them to be so obviously terrible it forces Barta's hand here.

So I'm conflicted a little.

The earliest a coaching change for Iowa is even possible would be after the 2021-2022 season. That's after Connor's senior year.

 

[CyTwins]

I will....

Are you excited about them?

One of the worst venues in the Big 10. If not the worst.

Also, please bring back the Hilton lights.

In person Hilton is fine the way it is now. On TV where most of us watch it, it's too dark. I agree, bring back the lights.

I saw that Ogundele was originally from London, just like Gabe Olaseni. I wonder if they are in any way related, e.g. coming from the same area in Africa?

Can someone photo shop that with Xavier walking past in an ISU uniform?

Not exactly what you ordered, but I'll just put this out there:

Cautiously optimistic about them. We'll see....

Didn't Foster get the memo about frosted tips?

What makes you optimistic?

What makes you optimistic?

Well I'm not going to be pessimistic and I added "cautiously" for a reason.

We'll see....I'd like to see them actually play before passing judgement.

You could literally say that about ANYONE.

Aren’t they at the IMG Academy? I think IMG has its own internet TV channel.

Dexter has a better chance getting in IMG than those kids

5 man. They used two scholarships on the twins

"What?!!"

"I thought package deal meant I only had to use one scholarship?!"

I've never seen you play, @GTO, but I am cautiously optimistic you can play 20 minutes a night for the Hawks.
