Led the country in eye pokes two years straight. I'm sure Fran taught him that.
Most of the broadcasts credit Luka's dad for his physical development over the summer. If it was Fran's strength coach that did it, why didn't he do the same for the rest of the team?
Maybe his dad knows a secret specialized prison weightlifting regimen!!
Hmmm....what? I don't have time to watch the game, so I'm not sure what you mean by that?
Robert Huggins Esquire's entire coaching philosophy summed up in 1 sentence.
Garza has came a long way because of Garza. Dude works his ass off in the off season. Not because of Fran being a great coach. Now Fran might have motivated him but from everything I have read on Garza is sounds like he works hard on his craft. Even though he still looks like he should be a butler.
I’ll admit my bias in that I find high school basketball quite boring, and I'm probably a bit overly anxious to see some shining beacons of hope for next season, but that game at 1.5x playback speed and skipping past all commercial breaks and timeouts was about 15 minutes of my life I need back.
For someone clearly physically advantaged over his competition Xavier sure didn’t try much, like not much at all. Granted that game was kinda a gimme, and perhaps his mind is already set on getting to campus, but that kind of disinterested approach is not a look that instills heaps of confidence.
UPDATE: Hah, I didn't realize that was the final game of the regular season and Oskaloosa is only 8-13. Ouch. I would be probably be a bit disinterested too.

Nice find. Only watched the first quarter so far but it's a pretty good summary of XF imo. There's times on the defensive end he moves really well and controls the paint. There's times you question his effort (Grinnel's first bucket).
On the offensive end he shoots and handles well for his size. Similar to defense he started strong and then looked a little disengaged. He did play with his back to the basket more in that quarter than I have probably ever seen him.
Overall he's also going to have to add some more mass to his body. Lot's of potential but I don't think he's going to come in and excel in year 1.
He's scrimmaged very well against us when he plays at Sukup from what I've heard
Yes his dad is a convicted felon. It's funny Chad and those guys don't mention that
The majority of Luka's development has taken place outside of the Iowa program... Fran doesn't deserve jack **** for how he's playing.
LOL he's a convict who ruined peoples lives and he's absolutely revered by Hawkeye fans. Weird....
