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

[ScottyP]

That form...he shoots every shot like its from half court...launches the ball

It looks like it takes about everything he has to get it there from the three point line.

Joey T and Huggy.

Can't really blame a guy for wanting to move up to a premier Basketball Conference.

Watch out Big 12!

Watch out Big 12!

It's a public safety PSA. @iahawks is saying 'Watch out Big 12 fans' for when Joe T goes barreling out of control into the stands on fastbreaks after dribbling it off his foot every game.

We should have a poll - which unforseeable bs happens to get Fran an extension?

Sandfort turns into a 42% 3-pt shooter.
Perkins suddenly starts averaging 18ppg.
Mr. Peabody averages a double double.

Sandfort was 46% in HS (closer line of course) and 96% from free throw. Shooting 42% isn't out of the question

Hawk fans are gushing over Luka's big/last game yesterday. It was against the 76'ers who rested their starters. What are the hawk fans going to talk about now? They are probably going to say he got screwed for not being selected to the all-rookie team. We know the portal is like a porta potty for Hawkeye basketball, they never want to go into it.

That was a NBA game in name only.

That was a NBA game in name only.

Garza is an NBA player in name only.

Joey T and Huggy.

Should get lots of playing time. Huggy doesn't have any kids of his own on the team....

Watch out Big 12!

Nervous w a coach he might become a good interior passer?

 

[dafarmer]

In all seriousness, what is higher: Connor's batting average or basketball field goal percentage?

Below the Mendoza line?

IMO Sandfort will be good for them. I liked what I saw of him last year.

 

[CycloneVet]

Huggins will love his ability to suck

Maybe I should have said "turns into a 42% 3-point shooter and gets more minutes per game than Connor"

Yeah, that's a head scratcher. From 3, he shot 37% vs power 5 teams this year and 36% overall. Also, if he's truly 6'7" then his length in a guard role has to be better defensively that Connor. I could see him being problematic if his usage adjusts

Fran didn’t make the cut for 1 of the 2 transfers EIU reportedly contacted…

Meh that guy sucks anyways.

 

[cyclonehomer]

Meh that guy sucks anyways.

I don't think you're necessarily wrong. He shot 31% from the field last year, had a decent assist rate but he's not a needle-mover really.

Iowa probably still wants a PG but not Phinisee doesn't seem like a guy I'd lose sleep over.

Played zero minutes that mattered all season
