I agree with you in the fact that posters here play down the ability of Bohannon and Pemsl, and they are better than they get credit for on here. But, if those two are all big10 some year, the big 10 will have to be down. They still bring in big time recruits in that conference.
Tyler Cook has a higher ceiling than both Bohannon and Pemsl. Fran can recruit, but his teams leave you wanting more. (That could be said for any team) Think if the talent that has gone through there recently Marble Jr., White, Utoff, Jok, etc. Has it translated into the success that it should have?
I think Fran's red-faced baby act on the sidelines sometimes translates to his team and they wilt under pressure. They can beat anybody, but not consistently beating teams they should. Example -- TCU in Iowa City.
