Iowa has to be the most racist fanbase in the country.

There are probably a few south of the Mason Dixon line that are worse than the TOE fanbase, but any hoks that support the debacle in Iowa City right now are giving them a run.

Busting Brackets "analyzed" and ranked the incoming B1G classes.
Iowa comes in at #8, which is more of a shot at the 5 programs behind EUI rather than a credit to Fran in my mind. The descriptions of each of the players game is pretty pedestrian.

Im actually shocked Fran is out recruiting Fred and Holtman, not to mention known cheaters like little **** Pitino. I agree the commentary on their guys sounds incredibly void of promise and excitement.

Holtmann brought in two good high school recruits and Towns in 2020. That is better than Fran's best class ever

If you read the rest of the analysis for the other teams, every player is discussed similarly. Mostly positives, rarely any negatives.

Twins is Graham Couch?
Well no but...

Honestly do any Hawkeye fans ever argue against the comment that this is Tyler Cook and a mid-major roster?
"...Tyler Cook and a mid-major roster."

That's the most accurate description of that team I've read.
Idk there are few mid major guys like JBO Moss, and Garza. But the rest like Dailey, Ellingsin, Kriener, Pemsl etc are low mid major (think Drake) or straight low major like South Dakota/NoDak level.

Certainly no “victory lap”.

Calling Iowa’s lineup “mid major” is pretty idiotic though...

When they were losing to Omaha and others in past Franny seasons--it was appropriate.
When half the fanbase called for Franny's head on a platter for years, during several seasons-- it was appropriate.

Now the same goofball fans puffing their chests, acting obnoxious, bashing ISU mbb

my what short memories they have. Iowa fans (mbb and FB) the most #Bipolar in the country
