The Fran fade
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Iowa will be a tournament team next year if Garza comes back.
And will be better than ISU as well. Even Fran can't screw a rotation up that much.
Maybe go to work for his dad?
I think his dad is counting on the money Garza hopes to make someday to pay some people off.
I don’t think he plans to pay anybody off.
Imagine being in a position where 20-11 and part of a four way tie for 5th in your league generates this enthusiasm- the need of IA fans to be nationally relevant and drag ISU down while doing so is amazing. 1999 was a long time ago, I guess.
I didn't drag ISU down, Prohm did. Also, what was wrong with my post? Iowa will be a tournament team again next year if Garza comes back.
Or maybe ISU fans are afraid of becoming irrelevant and are trying to drag the Hawks down with them?
I think Iowa will be good again. Iowa State will be better than they were this year. If all of Iowa's pieces come back, they could be a very good team next year. Iowa State imo will be a bubble team.
Iowa's going to have a lot of guys available to play next year whether that be freshman or guys coming back from some sort of injury. Time will tell if Fran does the right thing and finds 8 MAYBE 9 guys he really likes and rolls with them the entire year, or if he will play 11 guys and completely throw guys off of their rhythm. If the second thing happens, I don't think Iowa will be as good as some may think.
I have the same concerns with Fran managing player minutes/rotation.
Keep tryingharder. Too bad you have to post on here for personal satisfaction. Hope you don’t hurt your shoulder from trying to pat yourself on the back.
He'll play Garza as much as he needs to, which will be a lot. Then you kind of have to wonder...Weiskamp probably next in the pecking order, but then a complete logjam. Does he find too many minutes for his boys? This would probably annoy someone like Joe Toussaint. CJ suddenly sharing his minutes with JT and Jorbo....a lot of mouths to feed and Fran has a track record of wanting to feed all of them. No idea if Nunge is even a rotation level player, but you have to factor him in there too. And that will take minutes away from a guy like Pemsl, who isn't really that great anyway, but between the 2 of them would need to fill the massive void left by Kriener.
