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

[carvers4math]

Wasn’t the dude that went after Twins another lawyer guy? Making up **** about attacking and stalking his family and stuff? That was wild. That guy seemed like a major dildo.

Is this the same guy who was trying to put out a hit on Twins?

Pocketing a scholarship is almost always a better outcome than accepting a Ray Kasongo June transfer commitment.

I except Fran to do the opposite of what I am suggesting.

 

[GTO]

It's amazing to see them squirm trying to figure out how they should respond.

-Fran is doing terrible in the portal, while ISU has signed several:
"Fran's doing it the right way. The portal is not a recipe for long term success. That's why he's focusing on high schoolers."

Iowa State is bringing in more high school players than Fran this year:
"But ISU plays so slow. Their fans aren't going to want to watch."

ISU fans will watch us beat Iowa by 20 and go to the sweet 16:
"Iowa won 26 games last year and had a player of the year candidate!"

And that added up to what? A first round loss?:
"Iowa had a bad draw. We didn't have enough rest!"

You played an A-10 team who had the same amount of rest as Iowa did.:
"The ball was rigged! The refs were against us! Jorbo had a canker sore! The groundhog saw his shadow! The dog ate my homework! My alarm didn't go off! The traffic was terrible! The illuminati were working with the lizard people! Hanging chads!!!!!!'

I know a certain former ISU football player who would pop JBo's canker sore for free with a well-placed shot.

The post before that one is great too. Expecting Mulva, Big Grapes, and 25 year old Rebecca to take their game up a couple of notches and they'll be just fine.

I almost pissed my pants reading this one. You, sir, have won the internet for today.

Yeah, the same crap bag that made up some crap about me and called me a pedo.

I think he enjoys talking about Iowa State more than he does following Iowa sports.

Sounds like the antithesis of a former poster on here.

HerkyFan on HawkeyeReport is triggered this morning. He's gonna blow a gasket.

The one that says Fran is as good as Dr. Tom must be high A.F.

I don't disagree with this, but couldn't you say this applies to something like 90% of college sports fans?
Most fans are largely only watching their team, regardless of style play.

If style of play is so important, then why aren't Grinnell basketball games sold out and broadcast on ESPN?

I will disagree that if TJ continues to run a defense heavy style, and ISU wins, goes to Sweet 16s, etc, that ISU fans will suddenly stop watching. Hilton will still be sold out. Fans will travel in waves to KC, NCAA sites, etc.

Winning is biggest (maybe only?) factor for fans.

Yep it took about all of 4 games for the fans in Hilton to realize defense was last yrs team and to embrace it. The effort last yrs team exhibited made it easy to cheer for them, though not always easy to watch on offense.

Here's a great post from HR

"It's a lot like how people viewed Iowateam last year. Although we all knew that he'd be good, NO ONE expected Keegan Murray to be a consensus All American. Losing Kris, too, would hurt, but Iowa has some pretty good players coming back and new kids coming in. I wouldn't put them down before we see them play together. They will have the ability to defend and score. It's how well the gel as a team, especially on defense, that will determine how far they can go."

They have the ability to defend and score? Do they? If Kris leaves, they are losing well over 50% of their scoring from last year, and are replacing it with.... Who? No new faces other than two freshman guards, (one with a broken leg)
Who else is picking up the slack? Big Apple Butter? Lip Macrotcha? Sandcastle? Mulva? Connor?

How much more can you expect out of PMAC?

They better pray that Kris comes back, and that he has the same jump that his brother did.

You do a great job nicknaming the Hawks it makes me laugh every time.

I’m not sure why anyone would engage in that thread. The guy who uses clown fans every post is the internet equivalent of Wayne Arnold from The Wonder Years.

Lol who is big grapes?

You forgot the excuse that they had to travel so far while ISU only went to Wisconsin.

 

[CycloneVet]

Richmond was a middle of the road A10 team. All they did if I remember right was let Keegan get his and focused on perimeter D.

Did Keegan get his? That kid is pillow soft

 

[CycloneVet]

Keegan also went into a shell and didn't demand the ball. I was astonished at his lack of aggressiveness and Iowa's players straight up weren't looking for him

Keegan is a *****

 

[Rural]

The sixth place team in the A-10 says whaa.......

 

[CoKane]

I remember when Brockington completely shut him down. Was a fine time
