They honestly probably took that photo when they came into town for the original cover/article in January and planned on using it for a March issue regardless of how Iowa finished

If Uthoff is on the cover 2 weeks from now, I'll be more impressed.

Really? Wow. Me too. I think we're probably the only ones, though.

SI did a study trying to find the best coaches at building elite offenses: http://www.si.com/college-basketball/2016/03/15/best-offense-coaches-mike-krzyzewski-roy-williams-john-calipari?xid=cr_social

There's a whole lot of info and data here and I haven't read through a lot of it yet, but Fran grades out pretty well. It's broken into "Recruiting for Instant Impact", "Recruiting for the Future", "Talent Retention", "In-Season Development and Optimal Usage" and "Future Development".

He ranked 22nd overall, 8th at in season development and optimal usage and 5th at Talent Retention.

So basically if he recruited a little better we would be fucking awesome

We ate at some "good" steak place in South Sioux City once. Mike Gesell is the most handsome dude to ever come out of that place.
