Fran losing multiple players!

C J Fredrick in the portal!

That's a loose use of the language.

Please fix the title so it is spelled right at least

Mark that one down as a W in the non con!

I may be a bit rusty with my math, but doesn’t the sum of that list = 1?

Nunge left as well, and the assumption is Weiskamp will not be back assuming he gets drafted

 

[Aclone]

Move this to the ISR, please?

Edit: thank you. And silly autocorrect.

 

[mj4cy]

Moved to ISR

Iowa wasn't likely gonna be that great anyway but this is a pretty big loss for them. Love it.

It’s normally not a big deal to lose guys like Numge and Frederick. However, Fran basically ignoring the transfer portal is borderline insane. Most teams can go out and get a couple players as good as those two and would. Fran is not gonna do it

Still waiting for the trolls to say, “didn’t want him anyway.”

Iowa basketball has as many players now as the number of teeth all hawk fans have!

 

[Clonedogg]

I don't track the ISR forums much...Is this where we insert the obligatory, "Doing it the right way"?

nothing would please me more to see Iowa have one of their better seasons (while still failing to make it to the sweet 16) and going back to irrelevancy the following year

It's less about Weezy get drafted. More about him graduating early, getting married and not wanting to return for his senior year to a complete rebuild. He's a guy who if not drafted could either make a run at the G league or have a 10 year career in Europe making A LOT of money. I think he can be an NBA player. JUst has to get as far away from Fran as possible

There is absolutely truth to the fact that Fran manages the program like a mid major. He basically only recruits low to mid 3 star guys that will be in the program for 4 years. Every so often he gets that diamond on the rough that turns out to be a all conference type player.
Every 4 years they "peak" after he builds the roster around a couple seniors. Then they fall back to the middle of the Big 10 while he tries to find the next "diamond".

What would their starting lineup even be at this point?

Has Bohannon ever given a definitive answer on whether or not he is returning?

Leaving would seem like a bad option for him now. I'd either roll the dice on being the only decent player on Iowa next year and putting up big numbers, or transfer somewhere bigger. He's always struck me as a guy who is being misused and could be an NBA level player in the right opportunity.

The iowa bill make it to vote so he isnt coming back according to his ultimatum.
