I'm not holding my breath, but wouldn't be surprised if one or both transfer out. Iowa avoids turnover, whether good or bad, because Fran gives reps to the young players. I used to be critical of him using end of bench players in important games, often to the demise of the team in that specific game, but what it does buy for him is loyalty from his players. A coach willing to sacrifice a few wins so his players don't transfer out---bold strategy, but this is Fran we are talking about.I think it’s too early to make judgments on Freshman other than Keegan. Kris, Ulis, and Perkins haven’t gotten enough reps to give me an idea of their potential. I think Dubar and Blackwell are going to be solid, the weird off-season definitely messed with their development, and I’m sure it’s the same deal with the Iowa freshman.
The only time Iowa has ever had a large amount of turnover was when Cook, Dailey, and Moss left. Since then, Iowa has been on a 2 year run of some great moments.I'm not holding my breath, but wouldn't be surprised if one or both transfer out.

Of course you doI think Iowa will win 18-20 games next season.
That's when FrankenGarza came out of his shellThe only time Iowa has ever had a large amount of turnover was when Cook, Dailey, and Moss left. Since then, Iowa has been on a 2 year run of some great moments.
And Frederick took over for Moss. And Weiskamp took big steps forward. And multiple other reasons.That's when FrankenGarza came out of his shell
And kids like/similar to Garza will always have a place in college basketball. Other than the fact that I have loved watching him play and wish him the best going forward it's really a mute point what he does after this season. Sign me up for another kid just like him for 4 years with the Hawks. He's brought nothing but positive attention to himself and the U of I. I think his future looks great no matter where he ends up.
Didn’t have a full OOC this year.Iowa only win 22 games this year and they'll win 18 next?
I know. It was a joke for the 4 win Oregon and only 9 win Iowa State thingDidn’t have a full OOC this year.

Great for him with the AP award, but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I hear that statement from Hawk fans. There are so many players that are a lot better than Garza. He is NOT the best player in the country. Not even close.
Garza probably the best offensive player in the country but not overall. In games against athletic bigs, he was really limited especially on defense.
Considering he finished 2nd last year and averaged 30 points a game this season, he was probably the first player on the voters minds this season. Not counting last year, when's the last time the AP player of the year came from a team that didn't get past the 2nd round?
