Fran McCaffery and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Transfer Portal

[Rural]

Connor and Patrick have their own podcast together.

What?????

 

[LarryISU]

I mean, when your offer list is made up of one OVC team that is....

No not the good one that's leaving

No, not the other good one that's leaving

No, not the solid one that's staying


Ok here it is. When your offer list is made up of one of the worst teams in the OVC and nobody else I can't blame Fran for going all in. When else is he going to get a shot at an offer list so exclusive?

You know, we all laughed at what a klutz goof-ball Luka Garza was the first couple years. We all laughed when Fran took the Murray twins. Maybe we should just lay off his unconventional recruiting. It still looks like just blind luck, but you can't ignore the results.

I feel like these guys all want to be Niang but they are not nearly as talented at basketball or as charming or funny to pull any of it off

What tipped you off?

Yes I can given that this kid is a guard and Frans guards traditionally suck balls

With Iowa's lack of activity in the portal, I would imagine this is where 1 Iowa scholarship goes for next year.

Offer list: Eastern Illinois

Amarion Nimmers, Iowa Hawkeyes, Combo Guard

Amarion Nimmers is a Combo Guard from Rock Island, IL. He has committed to Iowa Hawkeyes.

So, this is the replacement for Ash - makes perfect sense to me!

According to the Chadster, Ogundele hasn’t had any takers in the portal and will end up going back to the Hawks. This isn’t a joke.

He was the next Garza per HIC.

Yes, it is.

The results are no Sweet 16s, and I refuse to quit shi tting on them

Garza was actually a sought after recruit though. Fran got lucky AF with the Murray twins... Fran never would have even recruited those guys if dad isn't a former Hawk. Garza and the Murrays didn't develop because of Fran, all that work was put in outside of Iowa City.

Fat Garza has unfinished business

Big grapes?

 

[GMackey32]

Big grapes?

Yeah I have no clue. Fran can’t even run some of his recruiting misses off.

I think it's moreso that he can't recruit in the portal to replace them so he's forced to take em back

I wonder if this means they struck out on that Utah State big man. I mean, he was a longshot regardless, but between this guy and Flip Nebraska, that's a heckuva one-two in the post.

[kentkel]

Hmm. Ash, last year - Ogundele this year - Kingsbury's kid next year?

Wait, I want a do-over

I'm on to something here. I can feel it. Right on the tip of my tongue

 

[ScottyP]

Big get for the Hawks. Fran was able to snag a player from a Power 6 school out of the transfer portal.

 

[CascadeClone]

Wow, Fran found the money to match the NIL that "Big Grapes" was going to get from Evansville.

Don't be surprised if there is a Welch's free jar o' jam night at CHA this year!
