Their college careers weren't great, but Woodbury was a huge recruit and Gessell was a very solid get also. Most D1 programs would have easily taken either one or both at the time.
By this you mean tall, right?

If we took them, and then had the same players we ended up with, those Iowa boys probably would've all transferred to Iowa, Drake or UNI. Who would Uthoff play over? Niang? Nader? Doubt it. Uthoff played well the first half of his senior year, and then went into the witness protection program. Other than that, he wasn't that good. Same with Jok.
ISU would have taken Gatens, Gesell, Woodbury, Uthoff, Jok, Wieskamp and the younger McCaffery if the situation presented itself.
What exactly is Fran's style of play?
I would have taken AJ Green. He’s good.
Idk if Fran scared evaluators to give Patrick Mccaffery is high rating but he’s not very good.
How many unathletic big men have you seen at Iowa state? We run. He wouldn't have worked well with hoiball. Top 50 becausee he fits most systems and was a percieved rim defender. UNC wanted him, ISU not really.I find that really hard to believe. Woodbury was a top recruit and ISU would have taken him if he wanted to be a Cyclone.
Fran didn't want Monte Morris. He was introduced on a silver platter to Iowa by Roy Marble and Fran said he had his 1 per 4 year alotment of guards, so not wanting to have too many guys who could dribble he said pass. Coaches recruit need and fit. It isn't that hard to see why Woodbury isn't a good fit.ISU wouldn't have taken a top 50 recruit? If he showed some interest in wanting to be a Cyclone, then ISU would have recruited him harder.
Having watched all four championship games, Green was definitely the standout. I don’t know why McCaffery is the tallest player out there and never in the post unless he isn’t physical enough to play there. Feels like Osky doesn’t utilize Foster well, they did double him some and they do have a couple of other good players. The refs didn’t seem to call many fouls in that game which seemed to hurt Osky who was trying to score in paint.
He's going to be a problem at UNI. Also it nice to see a team not in DSM or IC win a state title in basketballI would have taken AJ Green. He’s good.
