Iowa seems to only go after the most prominent transfers and then their fans are shellshocked when the high profile player chooses elsewhere. Also they rarely seem to be contacting many middle tier players as well. It’s like guys who are 100% going to choose Iowa because it’d be their best P6 offer, or it’s a top 5 transfer in the nation who maybe strings them along for a bit.
I can promise you the overwhelming majority of Iowa fans are not shell-shocked when Fran doesn't land a high profile player.

For whatever reason, it seems like Fran is perfectly fine with FB getting 95% of the Swarm money.

LMAO Eickholt is such a fan boy nut sack.
Either the staff is inept and can't read how well their prospects are (then relay that information to Eickholt) or Eickholt is inept and can't read how well their prospects are based on intel provided from the staff. Either way, it's hilarious.

I think his hopes and wishes create bias in how he views slices of info his is given. In other words, he's terrible at his job.

Right. Iowa really could have benefited from a Jaren Holmes, or even Osun Osunniyi type of transfer over the years. Someone like a Gabe Kalscheur or Izaiah Brockington would have been the type of players to dig them out of the 2nd weekend drought. But no...it's either Grant Nelson or......Bakari Evelyn.
