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

[Mr Janny]

Here we go...


Post in thread 'HONEST QUESTION: Will Iowa get a serviceable 5 in the transfer portal?' https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/thre...5-in-the-transfer-portal.390205/post-10120906

See, it was always the plan for Fran to strike out on so many post players in the portal. I mean, sure I created a Tinder account, and went out on all those dates, but that was just to prove to myself that my wife was the one for me!

I get everyone makes dumb posts from time to time, but how did they not think this one through before hitting reply?

Hawk fans make a living off telling logic to go **** itself.

I don't know. With some good coaching this team could really be a handful...Not sure what it would be a handful of, however.

I think Payton Dirthouse ™ should probably start, but nepotism will keep him on the bench.

I have blocked this game out of my memory so thanks for the reminder.

I was going to wait to pull it out when you punk us in football again but seemed like you needed a lift.

He'll probably be a first round draft pick in a couple of years after playing 15 minutes/game for Iowa.

Think Fran forgets that Ash and big Smuckers were Hawkeyes before and when he saw tape said, I think they would fit because they remind me of Hawkeye players.

This was in response to a bounce pass thrown about four feet ahead of Garza. I even think all-star bounce passer himself threw it if I am remembering correctly.

 

[MuskieCy]

After this, the sportswashing comes HARD. DMR Chad hummer at its finest,

"A potential starting point guard in Joe Toussaint transferred to West Virginia. Two highly respected assistant coaches in Billy Taylor (new Elon head coach) and Kirk Speraw (retirement) said their goodbyes. Two big-man targets in the NCAA transfer portal had Iowa high on their lists but found homes elsewhere. Sophomores Keegan and Kris Murray entered the NBA Draft, and we’re still waiting to hear whether Kris returns to school. And that doesn’t even begin to address the wild new pay-for-play world that has emerged from the portal combined with athletes' ability to earn money off their name, image and likeness (NIL)."

1500 players in the portal and Fran will end with either a) not one of them or b) whatever is left when everyone else has the kid they want. It's basically how he's ended up with both the true transfers he's ever had, Rebraca and Bomani Evelyn.

Aren't you forgetting about the transfer he got from the state penitentiary a few years ago?

Didn’t iowa just get embarrassed by an A-10 team?

Maybe he’s on to something tho, instead of D1 guys, maybe we should’ve gone after NAIA guys, or whatever level Rabracca came from

Iowa is recruiting Kentucky transfer Keion Brooks Jr along with Arizona, Washington & UCLA.

Looks like Fran is trying to find someone to take Kris Murray's playing time....

He came from a D 1 school. UND.

That is a gem! When you can't use the CF classic, "Not 6'-10", do not want", you're down to this sort of idiocy. LOL

They need to come up with something like "Too tall, did not want" or something.

They’ve recruited a lot of transfers.

It hasn’t gone well.
